Ryan Murray?! The kid is touted as a future option with the gloves and we give them to Chakabva who has shown he has incredibly hard hands.

Looks like Nathan Waller has well and truly fell off the radar, having been selected in the test squad to face Sri Lanka a few months back. Shame
Waller has been smashed around with the ball in the last 12 months. Would be a scandal if he was anywhere near this side.

Murray may be staying on with the squad to UAE apparently, some concerns over Taylor's back.


I wonder if Murray is going back to uni. Should be starting soon. Looks like PJ keeping is a big no for these guys now

Everyone in this side will look giant, performing against a relegetted division 2 side. Except Vitori, Zimbabwe will damage themselves in qualifiers if they select any of these players, they are great against these sort of sides like Kenya, Namibia. Good for Kenya, as they are getting some games before 6 team competition of getting 2 spots in qualifiers 2018 starts in Nsmibia

Appointing new coach for Zimbabwe A is like a joke. No need of coach is there to defeat these teams.

Our bowlers look to be doing. I guess its about doing your disciplines right and getting in the groove of things.

I think the selection of this A side is superb. The best we've put out for a number of years. It has a blend of deserving FC lads and some exciting youth players.

I like Masvaure's captaining here, in spite of the current bowlers having a hold on things he brings himself on to have a go.

Good start from the lads.
Ngarva taking three early wickets is a good sign that he's in some kind of bowling form.
Still hoping for a Carl Mumba return at some point this coming year. Looked good in that test match he played. Just holding out this his injury won't result in a cut back on pace like Jarvis and Chatara

What does Burl bowl exactly? Isn't he a leftie too? Don't think we have ever had 5 lefties bowl ever if you count Prince Welly Ngarava Vitori and Burl.. isn't Zhuwao a leftie too? That would be 6 in the team. I'm sure that's some sort of Zim record

Right arm Leg Break. Not bad either. No real turn but very accurate

Its Kenya of 2018, not even half of that side of Tikolo, Odhumbe, Odoyo. This Kenya side failed to deliver in the World Cricket League 2015-17, they failed to be among top 6 that have reached to the qualifiers and have been relegetted to division 2. Performing against this side won't matter much
