[Match Thread] West Indies v Zimbabwe (2nd ODI)

Hhm, you continue to outdo yourself, heaping nonsense upon nonsense.

The accusations of racism are well founded because you consistently own the fact that you want black and white players treated differently on the basis of their shade of skin. That is a good working definition of racism.

It would be nice if we could move past this rubbish and support all of the players on the basis that we support Zim. We didn't make up your oft stated desire to ethnically cleanse the Zim cricket scene. "We don't want them" cries from you have been common. Look up some quotes, it won't take too much scrolling to find them.

I want the best to play for Zim. Whether they come from colonial stock, whether they are new immigrants, whether they are dirt farmers from rural areas, or from the streets of Harare, if they prove their quality, let them pull on the red.

hhm, you do realise Vusi is a specialist opener right? Why do you want to 'hide' him down the order and have Mawoyo/Matsi getting the side to 10/2 after 8 overs? Your policy of just sacrificing openers and ignoring the potential for a potent opening combination is defeatist and not a mindset we need if we are going to be competitive.

The batting lineup should be as follows:

1. Vusi Sibanda

2. Hamilton Masakadza

3. Sean Williams

4. Brendan Taylor

5. Craig Ervine

6. Malcolm Waller

7. Elton Chigumbura

With this team we have a pair of openers who are unlikely to both fail completely in the same game and infact have the potential to set many solid foundations at a decent run rate. Williams/Taylor/Ervine are great at accumulating in the middle order and then Waller/ Chigumbura can launch at the end of the innings.
