Welly deserves this game after the last one, but are they going to give Cremer game time or aren't they?
He's like a reserve player for Masakadza.

He is. He’s the concussion sub spinner.

Some more stats-
Dion 31 T20's
Tony 36
Musi 36

These lads have had ample opportunity and chewed up a lot of games.

He's played 20 internationals. Almost can't use that.
True. He has been completely fast tracked. 20 internationals. Only 4 domestic T20s. Only 6 of his 20 have been against associates too. He has only played a handful of domestic games across all formats. He has actually been quietly given the Bennett treatment but nobody has noticed. Has talent but completely inexperienced. Zhuwao hitting you out of Takashinga cricket club teaches you a lot about composure :lol:

If you're prone to going to pieces under pressure that's a tough habit to break. I saw his face there and you could see he wasn't sure what to do next.
He's got some ability, and is a great athlete, but this game is only about how you cope with pressure.
If you're getting pumped and you don't know what to do next bowl an offcutter.
Who's our bowling coach now that Langevelt has gone?
Why did he go?

Ya looks like Sri Lanka have to beat Pakistan next game.
That would be the unlikeliest route to a final for us.
Ripe for a match fixing opportunity.

We really need to sneak in. Our team is in tatters, we need more exposure at these top teams. Unfortunately it will show what everyone, but ZC and Raza, have known for the last 18 months. We've wasted nearly 200 international caps on the wrong players.

Musi 6 off 14. Sorry man, but he is not our premier finisher.

Here are Tony's last innings-
1,0,3,1,9,19,20,3,4,9,3,10,13,3,0

Here are Musi's last innings-
6,0,11,2, 28, 13, 16, 4, 11, 8, 13, 9, 1

Taylors innings-
14, 8, 11, 14, 4, 3, 0

Dion's
6, 5, 6, 44, 6*, 22, 13, 4
All these 4 need to be dropped.

Don't make T20 WC a stage to embarrass yourself Zimbabwe Cricket Board.
