Opening post


Southerns Squad: P. Masvaure, T. Kaitano, T. Musakanda, S. Williams, R. Burl, S. Raza, R. Chakabva, W. Masakadza, W. Mashinge, V. Nyauchi, B. Muzarabani, P.J Moor, F. Akram, T. Chisoro, C. Mumba, C. Chibhabha

Northerns Squad: K. Kasuza, B. Mudzinganyama, C. Ervine, B. Taylor, T. Maruma, W. Madhevere, R. Mutumbami, B. Mavuta, D. Tiripano, T. Chivanga, R. Ngarava, L. Jongwe, T. Mufudza, M. Shumba, E. Masuku, T. Kamunhukamwe


Tanak Chivanga and the return of Tari Musakanda the big headlines. No Jarvis or Chatara though who are both injured.

Is Jarvis quitting or injured? I’m confused now. Also Chatara is 30 this month. I think he is done. He is always injured and I doubt he can play a FC game anymore

Those are probably the best guys we have for now. Let’s see how the games go. I also wonder how big the touring squad will be. 20?

No idea on Jarvis, at least 20 I would say, ,maybe even 22/23.

I would expect Kaitano, Mashinge, Mudzinganyama, Jongwe, Mufadza and Masuku to all be cut.

And Chari? I can’t find his name. This is a first

Only Zimbabwe could name a 30-man squad with 32 players .....

Interesting that the squads seem to have an eleven in batting order at the start of each. Coincidence ?

19 days for 2 Tests and 3 T20Is.

you need 14 days for 2 tests (10 days of play with 4 days in between)...so I guess you can play the white ball in the remaining 5 days.

So it’s the best of the rest match. Fighting out for remaining spots, since the top 3 bats aren’t there

Yes. I think the real practice matches will be in the bubble in Abu Dhabi. They don’t even know how many people they are taking yet so it’s survival of the fittest

I’m sure Williams is sick if I recall what others said, but I think Craig and Bt should play. They need match fitness too.

Musakanda is in serious form. Burl opened and got a score. Regis is an automatic pick along with BT,Ervine,Williams and Raza. This means Wes,Burl, Prince and Tari are fighting for 3 places.

I think Tari opened

As you said he’s in form and if he’s going to open he’d fix a lot of problems for Zimbabwe, especially in the limited overs formats. #chamuout

I want to see Burl, Wez AND Tari in that squad.

Three young blokes who can really make a difference

Busted a finger. He won't and does not deserve to be selected anyway.

If Tari opened then even better. Why didn’t Prince play this game? A Tari- Prince opening Pair might do ok. So that would mean Burl and Wes would be competing for 1 spot then. Has Williams recovered?

Mashinge also getting 5 wickets and a 50. He deserves a chance. He is direct competition for Tiripano. I would say Mashinge is a slightly better bowler whilst Don is a slightly better Batsman.

‘A’cricket would have answered a lot of our questions.
