1-1 with three to play. Here's a scary though: if Afghanistan win the remaining matches (for a 4-1 series win), they'll be above both us and Ireland in the ODI rankings (and we'd be 12th, back below Ireland). I wonder how much motivation that prospect is - for both sides.

I'm happy to leave Tino @4 to give him some more exposure even though he has a List A average of 18 I feel he could be a good investment ......
I almost agree, my preferred change to yours though, would be to bring in Prince Masvaure at number 4
Just going off the current squad, Prince is an interesting choice former under 19's captain never really kicked on but seemed to be more consistent last season .....
Williams will be a welcome return to the side. its a bit tricky but we just need to win the remaining games otherwise it will get very embarrassing for us.
It seems Moor has instructions to go after the bowling but with the lose of Masakadza(not looking good for him at all) will his approach change.
If PJ Moor is selected he must open. Not because he is white, but because I think he is best suited as an opener.
My All-time Zimbabwe XI
Neil Johnson, Brendan Taylor, Murray Goodwin, Andy Flower (w), David Houghton, Sean Williams, Heath Streak (c), Andy Blignaut, Paul Strang, Eddo Brandes, Blessing Muzarabani

So, type 12 it was :). Actually this new type describes a lot of the recent knocks played for the national team by Maruma and Waller (and Chari too, but he is just starting his international career). Chibhabha did a lot of this earlier too.
