Kane Williamson could break Lara's record when he faces this Zim attack soon ..

Looks very similar to a Castle Light, man probably took part in the Rhodesian bush wars
Yip. Used to be the most popular. No idea if it's still the case. Nice stuff if memory serves.
A guy I went rafting with got a bottle of it with a piece of wood in it that was bigger in every dimension than the bottle neck. We were pretty impressed.

Still find it strange Brad Evans isn't even in the squad. He isn't a world beater but at least should be a strong possibility for that 3rd seamer role.
Will Kane even be selected for this?

I was thinking why the hell did Zimbabwe get so funky so soon bowling short on this pitch with men out? Polly just said the same.
If anything 2 spinners would be better for this test than the last too.

I know there has been injuries and also players like Raza having special deals but I don’t understand how they decided on the makeup of these bowling attacks across the two Tests.

Is he? He was playing club cricket in England a few weeks ago. There definitely seems a fitness issue though but then they rush back Clive Madande always

At least they didn't wheel out Faraz Akram again.
Masekesa, Chivanga and Matigimu are at least interesting prospects even if they're way too raw.

If I was Zimbabwean selector and was free to pick my own team I would have selected this team :
1.Brian Bennett
2.Alistair Frost (FC avg 44)
3.Craig Ervine (C)
4.Sean Williams
5.Dion Myers (FC avg 41)
6.Wessly Madhevere
7.Marumani (WK) (FC Avg 36)
8.Wellington Madsakadza
9.Tendai Chatara
10.Blessing Muzarabani
11.Tanaka Chivanga
When Bennett got injured I would have replaced him with Nick Welch

He often ends up playing as a batsman or rolling out some cutters in games, it's probably just that. He was deemed not fit for the series.Is he? He was playing club cricket in England a few weeks ago. There definitely seems a fitness issue though but then they rush back Clive Madande always

I think Chatara may also be injured but I'm not 100% certain on that one.
