Chatara out of Qualifiers with collarbone fracture

[CrimsonAvenger]

Big blow when he is in form. https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/zimb ... re-1324603

Tony Munyonga is the replacement. Sure we needed to get a pacer? Evans, probably? ZC being its usual self...

[secretzimbo]

I thought injury replacements in ICC tournaments had to be 'like-for-like'? Why would they pick Munyonga?!? Considering Ngarava is not 100% fit I'd have thought they'd bring in Nyauchi, Chivanga, Evans, even Tiripano.

Oh well. Need Big Rich to be fit and perform well.

[secretzimbo]

Chivanga, Tiripano and Mutumbami were supposedly the 'reserves' when the squad was being circulated

[Googly]

Ya they surely chose a 15 man squad or whatever it was for exactly this eventuality? How can you pick someone from outside of that?
Tony is a decent player, if he now gets a game ahead of Marumani that will be just plain weird.

[CholeZimbo]

Tough one to swallow for Larry, really some freak injuries he gets. Hope he comes back stronger, had really worked hard to get back to this level.

[Yvmnaidu]

chatara, wes & Wellington out. instead we bring ngrava, marumani & munyonga is best

[Kriterion_BD]

How did that happen? Only 2 plausible ways to get that inhured...being hit with a bouncer or hurt while diving in the field.

He'd been playing well too.

[ZIMDOGGY]

Guys made of glass. How can this happen. I’ve never had to his happen.

[secretzimbo]

It was fielding, right near the end. He was visibly in pain and went off the field. The lesser spotted Marumani came on for him.

Ya no need to panic, sure. I prefer Ngarava anyway, but he isn't 100% fit so who knows how he will bowl. We really should have brought another seamer in as the replacement instead of Munyonga. If Rich/Blessing gets an injury now we are fucked.

Ngarava has won us a few 20 20 matches with his bowling. No need for us to panic at all
