Chakabva and Ervine would be on shaky ground if we had some options. We probably do, but so far they're unwilling to exercise them.
If the Ballance rumour is true he could definitely open.
If he's still got the goods he's a next level batsman to what we've seen here in many years. If he is going to come there's no point in him hanging around in Yorkshire much longer. Plus that story of them pushing around papers at ECB are not true. He has to resolve his contract with his County is all, possibly deregister at ECB, register here and Bob's your Aunty.
Plus 20 hours Community Service in Belvedere.

Great to see this result. Could hardly follow the series thanks to work. Are Ngarava and Wellington injured again or were they rested?

They were both seen carrying drinks/sat on the boundary watching so don't think they were injured. Rested presumably. Dare one say....dropped?

Bangladesh team manager;
"I am very disappointed, I didn't expect to lose to Zimbabwe," Mahmud said. "We are a better team than them. I would call it a disgrace. I won't give any excuses. We should have won the T20I series. Losing was quite unusual.

How disrespectful! Hope we hand them their arses in the ODIs too.

Just read this article and I’m fuming. It wasn’t Bangladesh fault we just out played them.
Really hope we smash them in the one day series so that p***k can go and have another cry :evil:

Ngarava was rested because of heavy workload after coming back from injury.
Welly is still carrying a shoulder injury (playable) so he was also rested.
Houghton confirmed this in the post series interview.

I hope Houghton and the ZIM players get motivated by that Mahmud quote/interview. Will be good for the game.
The truth is, the Bangladesh T20 side has been disgraceful for quite some time. And I don't see any change coming in the foreseeable future. The Test team has also been disgraceful for most of the past 5 years, but I can actually see the red ball team being decent, because they've done it before in the distant past. But not the T20 side.

10 zimbabwe sixes compared to the solitary bangladesh one in last 20 20 should tell its own story. Lots of pleasing strokemakers for bamgladesh but thin on ground when it comes to power hitters.
I have a feeling with it being Ervine Williams and Razas best format as well as emergence of Brad evans and also all round skills of Jongwe it will be a lof closer than Mahmud realises this ODI series

It will be an interesting series. But having said that, Tamim and Mushfiq are next level in this format. They are right up there with the very best in ODIs. On top of that, Taskin and Fizz are world class ODI quicks and Shoriful is not far behind. I am expecting a couple of 100+ run margins and/or 7 wicket wins with 10+ overs to spare.

Yeah. I dont know about Taskin but Tamim, Mushy and Fizz are definetely great odi players. That being said, I dont think there will be a couple of wins that big. Probably just the one.

The one certain thing is that we will see pretty much where we are at.
That Marmite dude publicly cussing us is not nice.
We all suddenly have a bit of hope and it's a proper double glove slap. Filho da puta, merde, vafankulo iwe.

I honestly don't think it is. They have been a better side than us for a few years now. I think it shows the mentality of how we are seen in the Cricketing world. If anything, we should be looking at this in two ways.
1) Its a sign of how far we have fallen
2) We need to start making teams change their mindset. We need to better and it's about time we stop talking and start doing.

100%. We've been the laughing stock and the whipping boys from some quarters and in others we've been regarded with pity. The fact is we used to bring a bit to the table because we were usually competitive and there was always the possibility of a surprise win.
The only thing that will change that is to start being competitive and to start beating the Associates convincingly and teams like Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka and West Indies enough times to make people pay attention. The only way is to let Sir Dave make some changes. We're at the 12th hour and need a rescue plan.
It's a big ask, there's not a lot to work with.

100 runs in ODIs is big, but its not really massive. I think in 2017-2018, Bangladesh beat Sri Lanka by 150+ runs on three separate occaisions, IIRC.
