2.Finch
3.Smith
4.Green
5.Carey
6.Marsh/stoinis
7.Maxwell
8.Cummins

Marnus was pretty poor by his standards in the subcontinent ODI stretch vs pak and sri lanka, and green has runs at 4 for the A team and is averaging 39 in ODI's walking to the crease at #7/8.

Green in the top order is not a bad shout, certainly much better than whatever they are trying with MMarsh at three

I would like to see Head play a game at the least, very underrated white ball cricketer

If these games were not in Townsville I would have gone to them.

Blessing to take a hatful in one game and cement his place as the best since Streak.

For Aussies who've never seen him, Blessing is a very entertaining bowler, a bit like a Zimbabwean Rabada in his attitude even though he's not as good.

The thing I like most about Muzarabani is that even though he's over 2m tall and bowls high 130s, he still bowls full with the new ball and tries to swing it. Big full innies at that height are so much more fun than just rising off a good length and trying for 'wobble seam'.

What if they were in Harare?

But yes I get your point - if they were in a capital city I would have gone too.
I'd rather time my visit to Zim around a test match, though they're never scheduled with enough notice to organise.

If it was Cairns or Darwin I would have gone without question but I've heard Townsville is a horrible place. I am going to Hobart in October for the qualifiers, though if they'd just lost the final they'd be in Geelong and it would be much easier and cheaper.

Hope he's fit again, would be gun

Also this series reminds me a lot of the stuff Bangladesh got invited to 15 years ago, yikes

I might see you there! If you say one thing about private schools though I swear to God...

I know someone who's lived in both Cairns and Townsville and reckon they're about equal, Townsville perhaps being slightly better to actually live in.

Australia with a more or less full strength side. Good to see Muzarabani back. Top order needs to score for Zimbabwe to compete in Australia.

Yeah Townsville > Cairns imho. Both pretty average though
Yeah I don’t know much about either place to be honest but everyone talks about going on holiday to Cairns and I only know where Townsville is because of crime stories.

Townsville is a university and military town with a decent sized hospital as well. So it's got a bit going for it from an economic pov in that respect, aside from tourism. A day trip out to Magnetic Island is fun too.
