Bangladesh v Zimbabwe
Chittagong, 5 November 2009
Ahem. Moving quickly onwards....
This is now a face-saver and our last chance to take something resembling "form" into the short series against South Africa. Although somehow, I'm not overly hopeful...

I think Chibhabha needs to concentrate on his batting. His batting has gone downhill since we started asking him to open the bowling. His bowling really isn't of an international standard. Let's hope he isnt opening the bowling against Graeme Smith and co.
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

Hard to believe the result, we went from a winning position to a hopeless one in just one over. How can we bowl Chibhabha at death? Even Matsi would have been a better option, as the ball would not have come on to the bat.

ShareMany people laughed at Shakib once he was vowing for a 4-1 series win right after loosing the first match. But anyway, it became a 4-1 once again.
The fight between Bangladesh and Zimbabwe is considered to be the clash of the minnows. Both team have a lot proof when they play higher ranked team. Bangladesh has a very busy international series/tours starting from February, 2010 right after domestic season. They will play a away series against NZ and 2 home and away series against ENG, then 20/20 WC. Zimbabwe is going to SA soon. Now people will be watching how Zimbabwe and Bangladesh do against these better sides.
Wishing both team best of luck.

ShareA terrible loss at the end of day..
Zim should make changes to thins line up as soon as possible..
Drop Chibabha, Matskinyeri and Mutizwa
Bring back taibu, Coventry and Williams.
Its nice to see Chingumbura batting up the order..He truely deserves it..
And Taylor finally came for the party..
But Zim should be happy with the bowling performance in this tournament. In all the matches, bowling department was pretty deccent despite absence of Utseya.HOpe he get well before SA series

Williams is out injured for awhile I think. I am sure he would be in the side if he were fit.

I quite like the look of Chibhabha when he's opening the batting. Can really get hold of the fast bowlers. But Coventry is a no-no

Yea i like Chibhabha opening, and he adds another bowling option. Hopefully Williams regains fitness and he can slot in for Coventry. Hes been very disappointing. And Sibanda should bat 3 or 4 i think

Taibu and Williams both are injured. I reckon, they both will make the XI as they both are one of the finest batsmen of Zimbabwe in recent time.
I would offer Charles Coventry some more chances in the ODI against South Africa. There's no question about his potential but it's a matter of bad form.
Mark Vermeulen needs some time to settle down. He has a gap of about 5 years in international cricket. Missed some domestic cricket too due to injury. And just recovered from injury before appearing in the 4th ODI. I guess, his technique will be improved to a great extent if he plays more and more cricket mostly in franchise cricket.
Stuart Matsikenyeri can anchor the innings coming at no 6, we came to the point before. But I think he will make the squad for his off spinning contribution in the bowling attack.
Forster Mutizwa hasn't done well with the bat at all. Just threw away his wicket, irresponsible batting...Can be dropped but he has an excellent domestic stats.
I don't like Justice Chibhabha's bowling. He is mostly a part-timer. He shouldn't open the bowling. The pace attack should be opened with two front line seamers or the team will suffer. The options are available for Zimbabwe likes of Mpofu (did well vs Ban), Rainsford (was economical), Mupariwa (returned to form), Jarvis (A bit expensive but good pace in 130-140). I agree, Chibhabha should concentrate more on his batting and his batting position must be 2/3.
From the possible candidates who can make their way in the Zimbabwean batting lineup are as follows:
1. Vusimuzi Sibanda
2. Dion Ebrahim
3. Craig Ervine
4. Timycen Maruma (as an allrounder)

ShareWhat an awesome batting display by Naeem. Cool like cucumber. He never thought of loosing at any point of the game as he said after the match. Great nerve. He is well known for his big hitting capacity in the domestic arena. Team mates used to call him 'Sixer Naeem'.
