Zimbabwe squad to australia

[secretzimbo]

Why Kaitano again?

Think it's been said they had to apply for visas a few weeks ago, so no chance of any alternatives coming in really.

Nice to see Blessing back!! Massive shame about Craig though. Really feel for him.

Why no Chivanga when the Australian pitch offer seam and bounce?

I was looking at the Aussie squad. They're not taking any chances

I don't think Chivanga's pace will trouble the Aussie batters. They face quicker bowlers almost on a daily basis.

The matches start at 1.40am our time Quite glad we don't tour their more often

Jeez Ervine has waited how long for an Aussie tour. He must be feeling really low. Sorry, man!

At least there is the world cup

[tgk]

Kaia, Kaitano, Williams, Chakabva, Raza, Burl, Madhevere, Jongwe, Evans, Muzarabani, Ngarava would probably be my XI. Hopefully they try pushing Burl up the order a bit.

Just thought I'd highlight current ODI averages for the batters in this squad;

Batting averages:
Raza: 37.38 (115 innings)
Williams: 35.01 (140 innings)
Kaia: 30.11 (9 innings)
Munyonga: 29.00 (3 innings)
Evans: 24.00 (4 innings)
Madande: 24.00 (1 innings)
Burl: 22.45 (27 innings)
Chakabva: 21.34 (54 innings)
Madhevere: 19.57 (21 innings)
Kaitano: 15.28 (7 innings)
Jongwe: 13.92 (29 innings)
Marumani: 9.16 (6 innings)


It's not great reading. Such an inexperienced lineup though.

I think zim stand a real chance.aus team can be beaten with spin.wi ban sl can all beat aus with spin...so bowl Raza burl to beat...quality of spin does not matter any spinner will do...if zim can play Hazelwood starc well ...then it will be even....Williams is the only one who can play that quality..may be madhevere...when is Ballance coming
