Re: Sean Williams to retire from Zimbabwe cricket
If Sean is available, which is great news, it makes selection very tricky.
One of the big 4 will have to sit out and it cannot be Ervine as he is now the captain. Burl and Myers are the future so they cannot be dropped. I have a feeling that Raza will be the one to miss out.
The only way to play all the big 4 will be to consider Burl as a specialist spinner who can bat at No. 8. I don't think Burl will be happy with it though.
Madhevere
Chakabva
Ervine
Taylor
Williams
Myers
Raza/Wellington
Burl
Jongwe/Tiripano
Muzarabani
Ngarava
That's a pretty decent side. Williams, Raza, Wesley and Myers can easily fill in as 5th bowler.

I think we need to have the fab 4, Blessing and Regis, and the remaining 5 go pedo and strictly young guys.
There can be no room for the Kasuzas or Chamu’s or that.
I’d go basically what you suggested. Jongwe the weak spot.
It’s a team that bats balls deep and good bowling options.

Re: Sean Williams to retire from Zimbabwe cricket
In the early stages of his career Williams was constantly leaving and coming back
Re: Sean Williams to retire from Zimbabwe cricket
Williams is given to making emotional decisions. Hopefully he takes some anger out on the Irish bowlers in the ODI series

Re: Sean Williams to retire from Zimbabwe cricket
Yeah, I was laughing when I read someone wrote here that Sean has been a committed cricketer for ZC for 17 years! We know all about his many excursions here

Having said that, in the last 4-5 years, he has been solidly behind Zim's cause - more than anyone else - and has led from the front in all formats and departments. A relief indeed, to see him back.
Re: Sean Williams to retire from Zimbabwe cricket
Yup, for ODIs. Actually Mumba can also be in the mix for that Jongwe / Tiripano slot. Nyauchi as a back up too.ZIMDOGGY wrote: ↑Mon Aug 30, 2021 7:55 pmIs this for ODI?sam_ahm wrote: ↑Mon Aug 30, 2021 7:23 pmIf Sean is available, which is great news, it makes selection very tricky.
