I'm pretty sure a few of Zimbabwe's games will get shown. After the win over Australia I think there is a bit of interest to see how they go. I expect the live streams to be on the same websites as the MTN series, So bhejafry will probably have them, and there is another site too which I can't remember off the top of my head. :)

Sharemy sqaud for pro 20 series:
1.V.Sibanda
2.B.Taylor
3.T.Taibu
H.Masakadza
5.J.Marumisa
6.S.Matsikenyeri
7.G.Strydom
8.E.Chigumbura
9.P.Utseya
10.G.Brent
11.R.Price.
This would be an intersting line up with brent and Chigumbura opening and Strydom first change Ive seen him bowl and he is useful.the lineup lacks a seamer but i think Masakadza could turn his arm over. the main reason I like this lineup is because it is packed with attacking batsman who are all capable of hitting the ball hard!

My line up is
1. Sinbanda
2. Taylor
3. Conventry??? if he makes himself un availible then i would put Matsikneri there because he can get quick runs
4. Williams
5. Taibu
6. Matsikneri or MAzakadza
7. Chigumbura
8. Usteya
9. Muparwi or Rainsford muparwia gets in because of lack of pace and Accuracy
10. Price
11. Brent

Zimbabwe preparing for their Pro20 series in South Africa.

Injuries: V Sibanda (3 weeks, hip), S Williams (2 weeks, ankle), G Brent (2 weeks, fractured finger)
If we had 3 key injuries in 2006, it would have been a disaster. Thankfully now we have a bit of depth (but beyond the 15th man it thins out), so it doesn't affect us too much.
I think Taylor/Masakadza will open, it would make sense for the Twenty20's. Likewise, I think Taylor will be wicket keeper leaving Taibu and Chakabva to run around in the field.
I'd like to see Chigumbura play the role of a floating batsman. If we are 0/70 after 10 overs and a wicket falls, I'd like to see Chigumbura out there applying more pressure. If we are 4/50 after 10 overs, then keep him at number 7 or 8 to score big in the last couple of overs while Chakabva and Matsikenyeri consolidate during the middle overs.
I think Zimbabwe will win this tournament. On paper Zimbabwe are stronger than any other team, and we have enough key players to cause problems for the opposition. Namely Brendan Taylor, Hamilton Masakadza, Keith Dabengwa (I never thought I'd say that, but he is ideally suited to Twenty20) and Elton Chigumbura. And of the bowlers, Chigumbura and Ray Price. I'm really looking forward to this series, I think Zimbabwe will take everybody by surprise.
