That's about the best XI we have.. Chari is scoring runs so he has to be included.. Raza, my favourite player, needs to sit out and play a few more A side games to rediscover his form.

Brian Vitori is unlikely to play in the two Tests as the bowler is said to have told Streak that he does not feel that he is ready for the challenges brought about by the prolonged version of the game at international level
Or ZC haven't given him a contract and dumped him on the shit heap when his action was called . He had to pay himself to get it fixed and all the time the bastards were stealing $5m.
Beat you'll see Vitori on the first plane to overseas.
And good luck to him.

Muzarabani again, damn! What has he done to get picked? :x :evil:
Decent selection otherwise, good to see Mumba finally given a chance.....

worried he will get the Utseya slot and Mumba will get left out

Hope sense prevails and Streak goes for Tiripano, Mpofu and Mumba, excluding Muzarabani. Clearly, Chakabva being retained in the 15 over Mutumbami in slightly better form shows Streak has gone for his favorite there, not sure if it was right though. At this rate, Moor keeping is the only meaningful thing given the team balance.

Detective RDS's team for me too, but with Chari in place of Raza. Chari might get the nod as Streak has already spoken highly of his efforts of late. Hamilton is under huge pressure to deliver.

That is probably the best selection for ZC in years!

Great to see Mumba and Musakanda make the squad. Excited to see how they do and to see how Ervine and Williams bat.
