[OD Match 1] Kenya v Zim A

[Black Mamba]

Already said, this series is nothing except to watch for Brian Vitori, failures will rule this series against the weak team, like they have been doing for years

SuddenlybZhuwao will be like Gayle, Chibhabha will be like Watson, Chakabva will look like perfect top order wicket keeper batsman etc.

[jimbo]

anyone dismissing zhuwayos form should note he scored his 260 odd few months ago against Jarvis and Chinouya- seasoned bowlers

I like him- He should replace waller at number 7

[sloandog]

We're going absolutely ballistic here.
Brilliant to see. Clearly a lack of respect for the Kenyan bowlers.
Not holding out for much in terms of quality here, they look average at best

[TapsC]

Wow.. I expected Zhuwao to go crazy but not like this... I have never watched him play and I know many people say he isn't the answer but I don't know what else anybody can possibly do to at least get a chance. I actually think the level we are going to see at the qualifiers is just about the level he plays at. Nothing world class but he can completely change the state of a game in a few minutes.

[Black Mamba]

Anybody can hit against Kenya, what he possess ? Which form he is in, will prove against quality attack.

He should have been pickef in T20s against Afghans..... it would have proved wheather he can replace waller or mire

[foreignfield]

Cephas is at least worth a try, considering the form he is in.

Correct. Mire and him opening in the qualifiers with Hammie at three provides serious fire power up top.

Cephas
Mire
Hammie
Taylor
Ervine
Raza
Moor
Murray
Cremer

More than handy batting line up right there. Then there's the potential to drop Cephas if he turns out to be a dud, and include a youngster like Burl or Tari and move Hammie back to open

The big question is whether the selectors would take a risk on a hit or miss player in such crucial world cup qualifiers.

He should be in the UAE if they were thinking about picking him. Far too bigger risk to pick him for the qualifiers without some time in the side.

He should be on the plane with Vitori. For me, Waller's place as the lower-order hitter is up for grabs anyway.

I'd prefer to utilize him up top, to be perfectly honest.
Give him free reign and say go for it!
