Just realised Mashford Shungu is not playing. Is he injured? Surely he would be the frontline seamer

Ya maybe injured. Think he missed the last warm-up game too

[mnelson68]

Gee just do the basics right , should be 5 down now

Just tuned in, and Nyamhuri looks promising, decent pace and bounce.

[grant]

Kamuriwo looks pretty decent too, our bowling isn't all that bad I suppose.

[Googly]

Theyve bowled really tight lines, but this pitch is really tough. They're saying it gets easier in the afternoon, but I'm not so sure. Puffs of dust and rhe ball holding up doesn't go away in rhe afternoon

[grant]

Nyamhuri is quick, definitely something to work with here.

Ah! Man, many times I notice that Zimbabwe makes these silly mistakes in the field and allow the opposition to get away.

[Googly]

Agree. Need a catcher under the pot and dig it in

[secretzimbo]

Whatever happened to our gigantic seamer from the last world cup? Bowled one of the heaviest balls I've ever seen

Also Mataranyika, the spinner of similarly rotund build, he looked good. Influential family. Seems he hasn't stuck with cricket.
