Quoted from EmergingCric in post #45943

Atleast Musekiwa didn't waste any balls.


He's wasting a spot though.

Evans should be batting at 7 permanently in T20Is, replace Musekiwa with Maposa. This is a joke of batting order if they persist with Musekiwa, and what is Mandande doing at 8. Specialist Wicketkeeper

I should correct myself, Clive Mandande is the specialist fielder

Richie and Blessing have been all over the Bangladeshis throughout this tour.

Happy with the win!

I know it's been said a million times, but Musekiwa and Madande should make way for more capable players. They are not offering anything.

Another good win.

We have been starting so well. I feel the role they want maybe Myers and Clive to play are not needed. Or not both.

See if Curran gets a go.

1. Brian Bennett
2. Tadiwanashe Marumani †
3. Ben Curran
4. Dion Myers/Milton Shumba
5. Sikander Raza
6. Ryan Burl
7. Wes Madhevere
8. Brad Evans
9. Tino Maposa/Newman Nyahmuri
10. Richard Ngarva
11. Blessing Muzarabani

This would be the ideal XI Zimbabwe, Wes could pitch in with few overs and Curran could act as the Anchor. Got another bowler in with Maposa or Nyahmuri. This bats till 8 (even 9 on a good day) and atleast 5 good bowling options not counting Burl, Wes, Shumba and Bennett

I would play Wes at 4 and keep shumba at 7, he can go big on his day, but Wes was always more of an anchor.
Plus shumba is a lefty, so all the more left-right combinations.

What's baffling is their reluctance to let go of myers, when even he doesnt look like he wants to be in the team. Let him go back to the domestic T20, get some form and confidence then make a comeback.
I reckon putting him in the squad is only damaging him more than anything else.
