We have to win this by at least by an innings and not less than 100 runs if we are serious about preparing for the Bang series. Since we are going to be trying out different combinations i feel we should give everyone an equal chance to express themselves. They should rest Utseya at some point and give Creamer a chance, Javis, Garwe should all get at least two games cuz one game might not be a true assessment of a player's ability

looks like the carrier pigeons havant been fed

[zimfan1]

we won the toss and have chosen to bat, intresting decsion as the harare track can sometimes be a little spicy early on

Is the match streaming online somewhere?

[Detective RDS]

I always prefer bowling fast because you will know then what you have to chase in the 2nd innings.

But okay with batting 1st also. A fresh start of the series and Zimbabwe should put a strong total on the scorecard and should defend it to take the lead in the series

My choice Vermeulen and Masakadza should open.

[Sir Mupariwa]
