Good points all round here, I agree with most that we need to bowl first and hopefully snag a couple of early wickets. I’d also be getting Wellington in early to bowl to Mayers, King & Charles who seem to struggle v spin.
Jongwe for Chatara and Kaia for Wes for me. I’d open with Kaia as I think he’s got the most potential to score with ease against these Windies pacers in the power play.
Kaia
Gumbie
Ervine
Williams
Raza
Burl
Madande
Jongwe
Wellington
Ngarava
Blessing

I'm not sure I'd move Ervine down, I think we need to keep him as an opener. A good opening stand is vital if we are chasing a 300+ total.jaybro wrote: ↑Fri Jun 23, 2023 10:16 pmGood points all round here, I agree with most that we need to bowl first and hopefully snag a couple of early wickets.

I want to leave Ervine opening. He's coming through with runs and it means everyone can find a slot in the middle order.
Re: Zimbabwe Vs West Indies | ICC CWC Qualifier | 24 June 2023
Massively excited and nervous for today's game. Even more than what I was for the first match . I just hope we win the toss that is going to be massive today. We can have jongwe/Evans for chatara . I personally won't drop madhevere as his off spin might come handy against pooran who struggles big time against off spin
Re: Zimbabwe Vs West Indies | ICC CWC Qualifier | 24 June 2023
One thing that might work in Zimbabwe's favor is that Hope and Pooran are due a failure. Law of averages may catch up with them
Having said that the same can be said about Ervine and Williams too... So it evens out.
Taking all your chances is the key... And hope WI miss a few.

I also hope we are able to field full strength . Somehow we miss one or two key players every third game due to injury or any other reason
Re: Zimbabwe Vs West Indies | ICC CWC Qualifier | 24 June 2023
We have lost the toss ..for fuck sake needed to win the toss in this game
Re: Zimbabwe Vs West Indies | ICC CWC Qualifier | 24 June 2023
Batting first ffs, I'd say we will need 350 today but surviving the first 10 overs with limited damage will be key
Re: Zimbabwe Vs West Indies | ICC CWC Qualifier | 24 June 2023
Lost the toss and still have Chatara in the side. This is going to be a long night
Re: Zimbabwe Vs West Indies | ICC CWC Qualifier | 24 June 2023
Chatara playing , game over
