I'm baffled at the way Zimbabwe have picked their XI for the game against Sri Lanka. It is so full of bits and pieces players it beggars belief.
CB Wishart - Specialist bat, fair enough
DA Marillier - why's this guy opening?
TJ Friend - first game this WC, then good enough to bat at 3 :O
A Flower - The Man
GW Flower - Batting All Rounder
T Taibu - Keeper, not that hot with the bat
AM Blignaut - Lower order slogger
S Matsikenyeri - I don't think it's unfair to say that if he was white he wouldn't be playing. Bowling 2 overs (badly) and batting 8.
HH Streak - Bowling All Rounder
SM Ervine - Erm, I still don't know what he's there for...
DT Hondo - Specialist bowler, fair enough.
There are three competent batsmen there - Wishart, Flower and Flower. How the ZCU can justify some of these selections is really beyond me.
Even so, the brothers might be guiding them to an unlikely victory. I would love Andy to sign off in style with a ton.
And with that, de Silva traps him LBW. Thank you, and goodnight.
