In his press conference Cremer seems to be dead set on playing 3 seamers but 3 spinners could work in Byo. Mire/Masakadza just aren't bowling any more. They could have done the duties of a 3rd seamer if need be. Will be interesting who they opt for the Nepal game.

My gut feeling is that the Nepalis will not be overly concerned to face our second spinner. Blessing bowling with hostility and good pace from the second floor however, or Vitori steaming in, might be a different proposition, regardless of the pitch.

Zhuwao doesn't trouble the scorers or the ball boys that much. Has to do better in the Nepal game.

Pick Chisor over Blessing. He won’t have the temperament when it counts. Not for this tournament.

I reckon he will. Was really impressed with him in the UAE

Masakadza just make that number 3 his own. Its a waste having him open all the time.
