I agree Chibhabha in for Waller at least Chibhabha can bowl some...if not Chibhabha in the low order at least PJ Moor can put 30 runs easy in a give day...
Also Chisoro for Raza
Zimbabwe won't do well in test matches, until they stop depending on part timers. Part Timers wont work in test cricket. 8+3 combination is one of the negetive combination.
If 7 batsman fails, number 8 will come and score a double ton, is one of the hilarious hope. Zimbabwe failed to capitalize even knowing the fact that Bulawayo is a slow track, provide enough helps to spinners, still they did'nt go with another spinner and handed over debut to Mire. Chakabva is talentless, wheather he plays as an opener, middle order or lower order, he will fail.
I don't rate either Chibhabha or Waller that highly, but Chibhabha's bowling is likely more useful so I wouldn't mind him replacing Waller for the second test.

Let's just see what happens but for me if there are to be any changes I would bring in Chamu and Chisoro for Waller and Mpofu if we play on a similar pitch. Then Chamu and Mire can open the bowling with Jarvis just for a few overs.
I think the game is still on. Both teams are very inconsistent. 1 session can change the match as we have seen for both teams.
Don't remember the last time I was this disappointed in our batsmen. They had a shocker. The worst part about is that I knew Waller was going to fail. He has been in that position so many times and he almost always disappoints. No point of playing 8 batsmen if the 8th guy is not reliable. Might as well add another bowler.
Yesterday was really hard to watch. Most got out to poor shots. I can't see them turning things around from here. Chasing anything above 200 on this surface is going to be impossible.
