[andruid]

Yes, that middle order was quite unstable apart from Raza. But getting him there provides a bit of balance to their batting order.

Beaten to it

Are ryan burl's t20 stat's inflated from playing alot of minnows/lesser quality zimbabwe t20 comp's or is he gun? Left arm bat, averages 26 in both t20 and t20I at an ok SR and averages 22.5 ish in both domestic and internation at a respectable econ for a leggie. Seems like a guy who could float around the order as a #3 to #6 depending on left/right arm combo's and match situation and offer you a 6th bowling option that's genuinely frontline quality.

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Rayn Burl ('3 fer) & Ballance 30 odd won it for Zimbabwe.

Batting first at Harare Night-mare in twenty 20 or ODI

I just noticed Gary Ballance & Williams rested, no idea, it could be they wants to announces their team for test series in Feb 2023 so wants to tune up others as well.

29/1 zim

Where’s muzabarani

Doesn't have the blessing to remain uninjured. Out with muscle tear.

 

[Coronis]

really wish there were tests attached to this series!!

Yeah doesn’t make sense that there aren’t. Last tests for each country Zimbabwe 7/7/21, Ireland 24/7/19.

(Afghanistan 10/3/21 if anyone was wondering)

To put this in more perspective - Kohli has scored test centuries since Ireland last played a test.
