Playing more t20 cricket on good batting wickets will help our bowlers learn to handle the batting onslaught at the end of the innings. Also looking at today's best batsman they have all played a lot of t20 cricket so I think it will help our batsman as well ......

So now that AC is not around any more who will organise another Standbic T20 tourny.
Zimbabwe needs a bowling coach that actually teaches the bowlers something as their death bowling never improves

So, with the 3rd and last match coming up are we to see any changes in the XI ?, according to the original information the List A squad was made up of 15 players and the 4 not to have been given a game so far are Nyauchi, M'shangwe, Garwe and Masvaure

Nyauchi has played a minimal number of games and hasn't done anything of note, M'shangwe is a quality player well known to the selectors, Garwe is a steady and proven player but at almost 30 may well have missed the boat while Masvaure proved his credentials at domestic level last season, personally I think it's a criminal waste if M'shangwe and Masvaure aren't in tomorrows side

Zimbabwe team for today's match: KT Kasuza, PJ Moor, PS Masvaure, RP Burl, GAT Mamhiyo*, KL Sauramba†, TN Garwe, T Mufudza, VM Nyauchi, CB Mpofu, DT Tiripano.

Nyauchi, Masvaure and Garwe get a match, Mshangwe doesn't. Bangla in to bat.

Mmm, glad to see some changes but are Chari and Mutumbodzi, the ones who actually scored some runs in game 2, the right men to drop ?, I can only hope/assume that M'shangwe is injured as I simply can't think of a logical reason for not giving him a game

Bangladesh 50-0 in the 14th so still no teeth in the Zim bowling

We need to find a genuine fast bowler. Someone who can consistently bowl 140 in a limited overs game.

We certainly do need to find a genuine fast bowler, so in the meantime we select Tiripano and then don't bowl him .........

7 bowlers tried, Bangladesh 207-3 after 39 overs, maybe Tiripano has been saved to bowl overs 41 to 50 :roll:

No wickets yet, but 6 overs for just 10 runs: excellent figures for fast bowler Victor Nyauchi, in a projected innings of over 280 I should think. He might have something special in him, perhaps the reason why he was included in the squad despite having played only eight List A matches?
Legend
286-8 then, another Everest like total for Zim ........... Nyauchi the outstanding bowler with 10-2-31-2 while Garwe picked up 3-61 from 8

Tiripano has now disappeared from the cricinfo XI which would go some way to explaining why he didn't bowl I guess, and there was me thinking he'd been picked as a speciality batsmen ;)

His replacement, Chari, has already gone with the score at 26-1 in the 4th
