My ideal line-up for the first ODI against the Lankans tomorrow would be;
1) T Kaitano
2) R Chakabva
3) C Ervine
4) S Williams
5) W Madhevere
6) S Raza
7) R Burl
8) W Masakadza
9) T Chatara
10) B Muzarabani
11) R Ngarava

It’s a good job Willo never follows through with all his retirement announcements isn’t it.

Sad to see Shumba not in the starting XI. Not the best decision that. Congrats to Williams on finally getting to 4000 ODI runs. Good debut for Kaitano and typical Chakabva consistency that we have come to expect of late.
With his 33rd fifty today, he is just behind AF (55), GF (40), BT (39) & HM (34) in terms of most half-centuries.

Everytime partnership looks set for a launch we lose a wicket
80,30,50,42 and 46 in terms of partnership .so many starts there

Some balls have started to keep a bit low. Not sure what a good score is really

I'll take that over the usual Zim collapse.

Yuck. If we don’t get 300 we will not win this, barring a miracle.

Sean scores his 100s against sub-continental Asian teams..Bangladesh, Pakistan, Afghanistan now Sri Lanka, he definitely has an affinity for facing spin bowlers

Regarding my earlier comment about Shumba being left out, I think we have not seen any batsman from Zim debuting in the last 15 years and in his very first season, carrying us home to wins and possessing good match awareness, albeit against associate opposition. The guy has an X factor. Given the line up, I would have preferred him over Wes, but yes, it would have been harsh on Wes too.
