And Cremer and Price will do their best to restrict the Windies batsmen. Utsea should not be in this squad. He hasn't warented his spot and his captaincy is mind bobbling at times. Give Pricey the captaincy and Zimbabwe will be laughing :D


jarvis speed i see in bangladesh,he has some pace but not variation if iam right.

Cremor try to turn bowl as i see him.but he is still lacking experience to bowl big hitters of game.utseya and price are tidy line length bowler.mopfu mix his bowling with slow and medium fast.he also bowl offcutter.your both opening bowler jarvis and mopfu can be easy target for gael and company.

Yeah i respect what your saying Jamthala, but we have to remeber that Kyle Jarvis is still only 20 years young and he needs time to adapt to international cricket. I think Graeme Cremer is more than capable of bowling out the big hitters on his day. He turns the ball more than Ray Price or Prosper Utsea, and his googley is undeniably tough to pick. Again he only 23 😂 all he requires is time, and that is certainly on his side. As for the opening bowling combination of Jarvis and Mpofu i agree with what you say. Mpofu can be a target for Gayle as he bowls a good leangth and can give the batsmen width. Kyle Jarvis on the other hand won't be as such. He's quicker through the air and off the pitch, and it'll be tough for Gayle and co to score the big shots off him. Having said that he does tend to drop short every now and again, but i'm sure Heath Streak will have been in his ear.

We have also many players in india who perform better in domestic level,but failed in international level.

One of the bigest problem of players is raise there standard to international level.

Yeah i couldn't agree more Jamthala. I think the prime suspects in Zimbabwe at the moment are Vusi Sibanda, Chamu Chibahba and Stuart Matskinyeri. These guts possess so much talent with the bat, yet when it comes to International duty, they struggle. Hopefully they can pull it off on the West Indies tour. :D

Matsikenyari is good batsman,once ravi shastri say he posses some quality of dravid.chamu and sibanda are good but there is big gap in there stance when they go for defence.

To be fair, his penultimate knock in an ODI was a decent 80 odd against SA...

I'll give credit where it's due, he did bat well in that game. But still he's been very inconsistant with the bat. I just think he's had his chance and it's now time for a fresh face or 2. :)

Selection should be fair than team can give good results.
