2nd test Zim Vs NZ

[Mueddie28]

Chari out Vusi or Waller In
Chakabva out PJ Moor in as wk
Chouya out Shingi or Madziva IN
Chibhabha ??? Can we throw Jongwe there...
Lets get younger Zimbabwe...

[jimbo]

Jongwe has good enough first class batting figures to come in at number 8. Also has good bowling figures in first class and should be first change.
My eleven
Mawayo
Sibanda
Masakadza
Ervine
Williams
Moor (wkt)
Masvaure
Jongwe
Cremer
Tiripano
Aleseni

This won't be the side but it should be ....


Moor
Hami
Raza
Ervine
Williams
Waller
Regis wk
Jongwe
Cremer
Tiripano
Aliseni

Moor and Waller dominated the 4 day games against Ireland and BD last year so they deserve to be there .....

Jongwe is the future and gives us an all rounder .....

I'd pick Mumba before Aliseni but I'm guessing he's still in the UK .....

All this talk about us not having any good seamers is a bit off I think we just pick the wrong ones, obviously Panyangara and Chatara would be the first 2 picked but they're injured. If they were fit you could play them with Mumba or Aliseni or Madziva or Tiripano and I think that would be a decent seam attack .....

Any news from the sickbay?

[gargamel]

Nyumbu could make a return has been sighted around the squad

Mawoyo and Mpofu are most likely to play. There are rumors Shingi might get a change too. Looks like Chari and Chibabha are certain to be out for the next match. Not sure about Waller, but PJ should take Chakabva's spot. Vusi and Waller are highly unpredictable and inconsistent. Raza and Masvaure are atleast scoring 30-40s, and contributing with the bowl. I would be really pissed off if they give chance to Mutumbami and Muzarbani for this upcoming match. I would replace all the bowlers except Cremer for this match, and bring Mpofu, Shingi and Nyumbu. Tirpiano batted well, but we need wickets and it doesn't look like he is frightening to NZ batsmen. The top three batting is certain to look fragile, since Mawoyo hasn't played lot of cricket, Masvaure is still to be tested at the top and Hami is out of form. But, we don't have any other options. Our middle and lower order should do the batting job for us.

Mawoyo
Masvaure
Hami
Craig
Williams
Raza
PJ
Cremer
Shingi
Nyumbu
Mpofu

Where is the Trenchard fellow, he would add some spine to our batting.

[Kriterion_BD]

Hamilton is not "out of form"...career average of 25 in all formats against decent sides and thats about what he scored in the first test on a belter of a wicket. If Hamilton is out of form, so then is Vusi, a far more elegant batsmen to begin with.

[Mueddie28]

P J Moor; Jongwe ;Madziva , Chisoro & welly Masakadza deserve some matches

Older statesman like Vusi & Hami should concentrate on the short format games..Leave promising youngsters to play tests & some ODIs ...
