I was about to yawn about Timmy crawling to four runs off 11 balls, but then you sparked him into action, Crimson, and he hit 14 off the next four. Your jinxing and reverse-jinxing skills are looking ominous ... :D


I think they will all play, cant have Utseya or Masakadaza jr coming in at 7 or we could be out of the game real early.

Key for us in the main comp is that we can get 4 overs out of Williams/Hamilton every game, plus two spinners and two seemers



Who would you leave out, considering we have 8 batsmen (Raza, HM, BT, W & W, Vusi, Chigs, Maruma) and a maximum of 7 slots available? One of Waller, Vusi, Maruma will have to sit out.


Sorry got my numbers mixed up, logically it will be two of Maruma, Sibanda and Waller who will play. I would leave Maruma out but who knows what the selecters will decide.

Possible issue of Waller could occur if he does not score some runs in the next warm up.

Alright, let's try my skills here then. Maruma is a certainty in all matches. He has to play in top 4 or 5 too, based on match situation. One of Waller or Vusi would indeed sit out, no question.

But then again, my jinxing skills only seem to work with Zim Cricketers and not ZC selectors :(

Hong Kong of to a quick start but have lost a couple of Wickets, need to get Jamie Atkinson out to ensure we dont loose this match which lets face it would be a major embarassment

Somebody has to make this loud and clear in the dressing room to the think tank: You do not bowl Chigumbura. It is detrimental to his batting confidence, for heaven's sake!

Looking like Kamungozi joining Utseya as the second spinner, Chatara is a sure shot too, so the other seamer is the only open spot. Surprising to see neither Shingi nor Vitori bowling yet. Is that spot already cemented by Panyangara?

Maybe Shingi and Vitori will share the new ball in the second warm-up with Chats and Tinashe rested.

Consider it the former, hoping for better things...
