Zimbabwe vs Namibia | 5th T20I

[55727835]

You can argue the need for a no-excuse win tonight, but I'm trying to think of this series in the broader picture of trials/training for the Qualifiers. I'd be disappointed if we didn't have a full squad tonight, but no need to risk injuries for the real deal at the end of November. News on an XI?

[tgk]

Welch, Kaia, Ervine, Raza, Burl, Madhevere, Madande, Jongwe, Ndlovu, Ngarava, Chatara

Probably the strongest team we could put out with the squad we've got. Don't understand why Williams was named if he's not even travelling to Namibia.

[Donald]

Ngarava will sort out the namibians

How I wish the equally excellent muzarabani was there too

[tgk]

The difference between our front line peak bowlers vs our second string is huge.

[Crastle_cog]

Honestly I would rather go in with the younger guns instead of Chatara or Mumba. We all saw how blessing and richie developed with time. It was a steady progression which happened following their integration into the national setup at a young age.

[Crastle_cog]

Probably an actually brilliant over from Chatara after a year, five of the six balls absolutely on point.

[Donald]

Why the hell did they take chatara off. Pitch is assisting fasties

[Donald]

Told you ngarava would sort them out. Head and shoulders above mumba and akram and not just physically

[tgk]

I'm not watching live but from what you guys are saying it looks like spin isn't the way to go. Why aren't we trying Jongwe, the pressure is being let loose.

[tgk]

and I say that and spin gets us two wickets in two balls
