I wonder at what speed Chatara's pace clicks on speed gun, seems like he is really cranking his pace up by a notch in this A series South Africa.
Early 130's from what I've seen. I don't think he's gunning it down as fast as people think. His control is much better though and you can visually see his pace has increased from the domestic competition
If Chatara can bowl around mid 130s, with his accuracy and ability to swing the ball, Zimbabwe have a fine duo of pacers in Muzarabani and Chatara to bowl in tandem.

Yeah right mate, how did I forget Ervine?
Madhevere
Marumani
Ervine
BT
Williams (C)
Myers
Raza ( if fit )
Burl
Muzarabani
Chatara
Ngarava
With this line-up, I really think that Zimbabwe do have a superb chance of winning the ODI series against Bangladesh. With Raza, Williams, Burl and Madhevere who all can bowl some decent overs in the mid innings in the team I guess Zimbabwe do not need a specialist spinner

Yea he looks like he's swinging the ball again too. Excellent signs from a Zimbabwe perseprvie. A fully fit Tendai Chatara is a massive asset

Marumani's wicket-keeping is not really up to the mark, dropped three easy chances but again he is a teenager and he will learn for sure

We need to end this culture of failing to wrap up an innings and then concede so many to the tail.

I don't know what is the thing with Burl right now since he posted that "shoe sponsor" tweet but he is a must player for Zimbabwe in ODI and T20 format, the guy can clear the boundary with ease when he gets going and his bowling has improved a lot plus he is the best fielder, in my opinion, in the side right now. In formats like T20s and ODIs, saving 10 to 15 runs with excellent fielding makes a huge difference in the outcome of the game. As regards Ngaravq, if he proves expensive then Jongwe could come in to replace him.

Marumani is not a keeper.
Looked very sloppy with his positioning and has dropped several catches today. Even a skier which is the worst dropped catch I have ever seen.
This should not be happening, the poor kid is going to be under som much pressure for this and it will affect his batting. Don’t want to see him with the gloves again. Zimbabwe will end up ruining a good batsmen by giving him the gloves.
I don’t care if he has kept before, he is not a keeper and has embarrassed himself today which shouldn’t have happened.
It’s really annoyed me this has.

Part of an A series besides individual performances should also be about practicing game situations, plans at various stages of an innings. We cannot also just lose games as it becomes a norm, I will be disappointed if we lose this one. No need for big shots chasing a small target early on, that is a failure in that aspect on the part of Marumani today.

Time for somebody else to step up. Yes the South Africans are better but I will always feel like this kind of wicket we will always have a chance because it only takes 1 guy to have a good day to chase 227 whereas chasing 366 will need 3 or 4 guys. Our guys never perform at the same time. Low scoring games will always be our best games.
I can only remember twice where we won a 300 plus game. Against NZ when Ervine played a blinder suppoted by others and against SL when Mire also had a good day supported by others but we have won multiple low scoring games. We just beat Pakistan in a low scoring t20.

I hope Shumba does something here. He is more of a FC player. This is a similar type of situation. I only have faith in the kids. The other guys have let us down to many times

I'm not Chamu's biggest fan but this is a good knock and a big partnership which will go a long way in Shumba's development. Credit where it's due. They cant lose now surelt
