14 hrs until 2nd match, Time thus to start an official match thread.

Only change i can see is Chatara possibly being dropped.

I hate to be that guy but please can you edit your thread title to the usual match day format? It makes using the forum search feature so much easier in future

I agree, it would be great if we could have mods on here that could set up forum groups for events like this, or match threads, so that everything is stored together, all the topics are currently really jumbled and it's hard to find things amongst some of the rubbish threads that are added (some of mine :lol: )

Think the only change to the 11 for me would be Larry out for Evans.

Pitch is going be a bit flat so Jongwe might be a good shout but still think Evans can be a wicket taker. Just need hide him in the field.

Wes is still on thin ice for me, feel like I say it all the time. He didn't look comfortable in the first game but still managed a 30 odd. He has buckets of potential but is not firing at the minute. Kaia would be the other man to come in but Ervine seems to like opening now so Gumbie is probably the one to go out for a bat, but he deserves another go.

Very much a danger game for Zimbabwe here, as the Dutch showed a couple of months ago they’re a serious unit and will fight to the end!

I hope the boys don’t get complacent with the Dutch missing so many big names, looking at their top 5 they’ve still got enough fire power & class to put together a big score.

Depending on the pitch, I’d be looking to swap out Chatara for either Evans or Jongwe, probably the latter as his versatility with the ball will add more value. I’d be really tempted to bring back Kaia for this game as well, I still feel he’s more likely to score a 50+ against the Windies rather than Gumbie.

And yes Donald please put more effort into the thread headings, I know it’s only a headings but it’s really annoying for my OCD.

I would be surprised if they drop Chatara, especially if it's just because of one bad game.

The Match Thread needs to be fixed.

The only change I would want to see is Chatara being rested for Jongwe or Evans. I would lean more towards Jongwe because he seems to do more with the bat than Evans.

Dont bother,
I have thrown out many such requests to @BRMT, but he just ignores it every time and doesnt address it.
