[Match Thread] Zimbabwe XI v Pakistanis (Tour Match)

[maehara]

Zimbabwe XI v Pakistanis
28-29 August, Bulawayo Athletic Club, Bulawayo.

No formal squad from ZC for this one, so speculate away...

Mawoyo, Raza-Butt, Ervine, Forster, Chakabva, Waller, Elton, Prosper, Meth, Chatara, Ncube, S.Masakadza, Mushangwe... assuming it's a 13 aside match like the warm up against Bangladesh. Does anyone know whether Meth recovered from his injury? I'm really want to see how spin plays in this one considering there is a good chance two spinners will be played in the actual test.

I've been advised by the good Minister Coltart himself that the tour match is at Bulawayo Athletic Club, not QSC. Top post amended accordingly. Also: bloody good idea.

as zimdan days: end of the day. It's a tour match, you dobt get the same level of coverage for them as you do for a full international.

No one should be surprised if Zimbabwe get beaten by a second string Pakistan team. But, the main thing is that Zimbabwe should not simply hand them the game, they have to fight hard. The fight they have is there only chance of getting over that line. A win with be utterly incredible especially as it would only be their second test back. Im looking forward to this game and if Zim can pull it off, my life will be complete

Still no updates - although CricketArchive updated their itinerary for the Pakistan tour during the day to show the tour match as being a one-dayer at Harare Sports Club. Am now thoroughly confused.
