Zimbabwe v Afghanistan, 2nd ODI
18 October 2015, Queens Sports Clib, Bulawayo
1-0 to the boys in red, 1 more required to keep 10th place in the rankings. Although a series whitewash would be preferable by far.

5-0 is the result we want. We must aim to dstroy associates every time we play them. Help defeat this myth that Zimbabwe is at the same level as them. Destroying Ireland and Afghanistan will shut them up for a while.
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

What's the word on Williams is he back for this game. I reckon if he is back then surely Nyumbu will have to make way. The youngsters are blazing hot and deserve an extended run. If Mutombodzi's batting comes through we could be on to a much solid team.

The Ireland series was pretty close. In fact, almost every ZIM-IRE encounter has come down to the wire starting from that tie in the 2007 World Cup. 3-2 to ZIM so far against Afghanistan, all time.
Now if ZIM thrash Afghanistan like they did in the first game it will really create a gap betwen AFG and the other 11 sides. Zim has a tendency to fall away as a series wears on, so that will be the prime threat to winning this series 4-1 or 5-0.

No Sean Williams today as still suffering from his injury, think its worth looking at bringing in either Chari or Madziwa for Nyumbu who has had a poor season.

Why has Chisoro come in before Jongwe ??
Liam answers: If you've been following the warm-up games before this series, you'll remember that Chisoro's 60-odd from number 10 very nearly helped the Zim Chairman's XI to an unlikely victory in the second game. The lad can bat.

Raza will never deliver from lower when Zim is under pressure.
Chibhabha will never be effective opening when Zim is under pressure. He must bat lower middle order.
Craig must open with Raza!

To think Afghanistan should have gotten at least 320 if they didn't collapse like the Proteas in India towards the end.

15 overs to go, hopefully Jongwe can make a half century today. He's shown nothing with the bat so far and he's not doing enough with the ball to deserve continued selection over Madziva IMO.

Pretty average effort. Sure the game is gone, but at least go at a run a ball.

Get Williams in, ask Hamilton to pack his bags and travel to Bulawayo overnight, get the series wrapped up 4-1. It can get embarrassing otherwise.

Now this is the Jongwe we've heard about.
Chigumbura needs to turn up.
42.4
Aftab Alam to Jongwe, FOUR
42.3
Aftab Alam to Jongwe, no run
42.2
Aftab Alam to Jongwe, SIX, brutal! Chigumbura may have temporarily lost his shots, but Jongwe has found all of them. He read this length delivery early and shellacked it out to deep midwicket. The ball never got up too high, but it beat the jumping fielder and slammed into the advertising boards.
Chigumbura needs to turn up.
