We have problem in bowling. zim 299 target ban reached easily. We should bring another fast bowlers and specialist spinner in team. batting is ok now.
It's imperative we have
Welly
Blessing
Ngarava
Chatara
As the bowling unit
Ngarava is inconsistent might not be able to finish his 10 overs
Chatara is one of the best option but useess in death bowling
Sean W can bowl some overs but I don't think 10 overs in international cricket maybe 6 or 5 overs
But Burl or Raza have to take some of the slak...
Has anyone noticed ? Or probably I missed out ..they haven't named captain to this side ..I am assuming it's going to be Williams ..but they haven't named it I guess
No one took my post seriously here
And now ervine is made the captain for the tour ..does that mean ervine will play t20s also ??
Lol ZC really can't make their minds up with captains!
It's only about 3-4 weeks since Mukuhlani described Williams as 'Multi-format national captain'. Wonder what has happened there?
BT is not a good captain if we are honest, so I'm fine with it not being him. Raza didn't captain too well against Bangladesh.
I don't think Slug is a natural captain or leader either but good luck to him, interesting to see how he goes. I'm surprised they haven't considered Regis as he is a great leader and character, but maybe they don't want to burden him with all of; the gloves, opening the batting and the captaincy. Probably sensible.
Interesting choice to pick Craig Ervine as the captain, looking forward to it. I think Sean was doing a good job, can't see any reason to replace him except ofcourse that the results were not quite there.
I don’t mind it, but I question why he was never captain before, even a stand in one. There have been times we have been desperate and he was available yet looked over. I always assumed there was a reason for it. Laid back and quiet was my thought.

Yeah the ZC statement says Sean remains Test captain. And hints that the limited overs captain will continue to rotate. I’m not sure it’s a great idea tbh. Surely consistency is good and you need a long-term leader if you are trying to build an identity.
Also I’m sure Craig has stood in before. Didn’t he captain in a Test once, a couple of years ago? I can’t remember which one but I’m sure he did. He is a quiet guy so it will be interesting to see how he does.

Top scored in both innings including a ton so he lead by example. Certainly worth a try and a great opportunity for him to become the permanent captain. Raza blew his chance
