[Match Thread] Zimbabwe v Kenya - 3rd ODI

[Train Driver]

The big one is nearly here, do we keep an unchanged team to make it 3-0 and then experiment in the other 2 games ?

or do we give the other 4 players a chance while the pressure is still on ?

I think we may see just one change, Christopher Mpofu for Kyle Jarvis

[Tinashce Ruswa]

Sorry haven't been in for a while working on projects deadlines, exams and cricket season all have had their toll but First things First WELL DONE to the lads that how you show critics that we are way above that level wish them to finish off in style and never give Kenya room to breathe.Whatever is happening back home Its working and am proud and happy to head int o the office with grin on my face awaiting to see BLitz news and boys winning.

Guess that's all it takes to keep us critiquing fans happy..would I be too off to say @ least for now we are realizing the potential returns of a well structured FC system

as for the team selection guess giving others a shot isn't a bad option but well done to everyone who has played thus far.Stuey even came through


JUST NEED TO PRESS ON AND DO THE SAME TO BANGLADESH IN THEIR BACK YARD BOUT TIME TOOO.

I would like to see Kyle Jarvis play all 5 games so we can get an idea of his consistency. I think we should ensure a series whitewash over Kenya, after the results of the first two games I think any result other than 5-0 is unacceptable.

I wouldn't mind seeing if we can get Malcolm Waller in the side and try to get him in some form however. Perhap the side below could accomplish that?

1. Mark Vermeulen
2. Hamilton Masakadza
3. Charles Coventry
4. Sean Williams
5. Brendan Taylor
6. Elton Chigumbura
7. Malcolm Waller
8. Prosper Utseya
9. Graeme Cremer
10. Ray Price
11. Kyle Jarvis

I would give Mutizwa a chance ahead of Waller, if I have to. But you are right about giving Jarvis a go throughout the series. So, I would rather stick to the same XI for this match at least. As they say, never change a winning combination. Acid test for Coventry though.

I would give Mutizwa and Mpofu a chance ahead of Coventry and Jarvis. The coach talked about rotating the players and this would be a great chance to do that. If things dont go according to plan which I doubt very much, there are still two more games for the team to redeem themselves. Waller for me is a bit of a wild card he should be in the A'side for now. I think Stuart Matsikinyere has become quite underated of late because of some poor performances in the past. I reckon he has found his touch again and he would be first on my team list.

Do my eye deserve me or is Usteya sharing the new ball with Chigumbura!!!!! Not a bad start but Chigumbura had no control in the first over 5 wides??

End of over 2 (maiden) Kenya 9/0 A Obanda 0* (6b) P Utseya 1-1-0-0
DO Obuya 4* (6b 1x4)

1.6 Utseya to Obanda, no run
1.5 Utseya to Obanda, no run
1.4 Utseya to Obanda, no run
1.3 Utseya to Obanda, no run
1.2 Utseya to Obanda, no run
1.1 Utseya to Obanda, no run

It's probably a little early to fully believe cricinfo, but quite a few sides seem to be trying out a spinner opening the bowling these days. I very much hope that Elton Chigumbura didn't drive to the ground this morning, if his aim is that bad he may well have ended up parking on the square

No changes to the side at all then, i assume that Alistair Campbell wants this series in the bag before he tries any player experiments.

ball by ball commentry today i want Kenya to score at least 200 not more than 260 though

[Train Driver]

Looks like the Kenyans intend to make a game of it today.

55-0 at the start of the 10th over, and Kyle Jarvis is getting some harsh lessons at the moment, call for SuperLegend ....

I'm off out for half an hour, hopefully i'll miss the falling of wickets ........

[Sir Mupariwa]

97-0 after 13.4 good batting by Kenya it looks like a good track, we just have to do the same when we bat
