Lol what a strange lineup! We have about 100 bowlers somehow.

Also we chose to bat first? Weird

Ballance already taking the piss, missed half the games he’s been available for already

[jaybro]

I don’t mind they’ve tried a few things here in this match, Raza and Burl one spot higher, Mavuta back in, Jongwe & Evans more batting responsibility and of course the big change for Marumani batting down the order and wicket keeping.

If they can put on a good total and the rain stays away I think Zim are favourites with this bowling lineup

If we are lucky we might get a reduced game but it's touch and go. There will be a few rain breaks for sure. We should play it more like a T20

The forecast agrees with you 100%. But it said the same on Saturday and quite miraculously it was a lovely afternoon. We’ll have to see

Chamu gave it away again. Same old problems but he is in better form than Wes. I'm surprised they didn't play Wes instead of Wellington. Interesting stuff today

Started well but as you said, same old problem for Chamu he got bogged down and couldn’t rotate the strike.

Ended up facing 28 balls, Kaia still hasn’t faced that many and he’s been in almost twice as long as Chamu was.

If Chamu is the most inform opening option at the time of the CWCQ I’m happy for him to play, but I’d be giving Wes every chance to prove himself again.

Clouds look absolutely apocalyptic......

I'd posted on the wrong thread. No chance of cricket being played. It would be a gloomy rainy day by English standards

Yes on Saturday even though forecast showed plenty of rain. Clouds were not so gloomy . Today it's just a matter of time
