Agree. Tiripano must get a long run. Has come up the hard way and has been very consistent.

Cricket against Afghanistan is nothing to be too excited about though.
What we need is a real tour somewhere that isn't a warzone. A few games in South Africa or Sri Lanka would be a really welcome change.

To be honest, I'd prefer the Zim national team play a few FC games against random Indian states than some meaningless ODIs against Afghanistan which we'll probably lose anyway. A few games against some Indian teams on their pitches may even help us learn to play spin.

playing a game against a team that can potentially bit you is a good thing any day. Zimbabwe cricket games have been too few and far between so even if we were playing Nepal it would be a good thing. And I don't think Moor will make the team.

Moor - First Class - Yes

Moor - List A - No No No No No

He has an appalling record in List A cricket and shouldn't even be considered until he can show he's worth a place at Pro50 level, which frankly he isn't by a long way

Seems odd people are calling for Moor in the ODI team but being ok with Chamu being dropped ??

I guess if Mutumbami still isn't fit Moor may be next in line die to his first class form .....

Sorry guys, I'm an absolute #RedBallMoorMania convert but #WhiteBallMoorMania needs to do a lot more to convince me, we've had enough failures in white ball cricket with Chakabva, Mutumbami, Mutizwa, what we need is Flower, Taibu or Taylor back in the side, oh hang on, that's a problem .......... anyone seen Dr Who about
