Hi. I'm the managers of Zimbabwe Stick XI, Zoraxdoom. This is my diary, where I will post screens, scores, updates, interviews, etc. Don't expect it to be regular, or pretty, or even on topic. It's my diary, I'll do what I like
Firstly, a warmup against Bangla. Told the boys to take it easy, and not to go too hard on the poor Tigers. After restricing them to 247/9 off thier 15 overs, we chased it down in 13.4 overs. It was quite a stroll for the boys. Taylor anchored the innings with 145 off 40 balls, with 14 fours and 11 sixes, and Ferreira finished the match with a flurry of sixes, with 104 off 42 balls, with 8 forus and 10 sixes. The bowlers seemd toothless and we got there without even trying.
After the warmup, I decided to announce our playing XI:
T.Mufambisi (+)
C.Chibhabha
H.Masakadza
B.Taylor
S.Matsikenyeri
E.Chigumbura
P.Rinke
P.Utseya (*)
A.Ireland
E.Rainsford
T.Kamungozi
Ferreira was unlucky to miss out on the cut, as was B.Mahwire who bowled well for returns of 3-0-34-2 in the warmup. But this seems like a good balanced lineup, with a good seam attack in Rainsford, Ireland, Chigumbura and some good spinners in Utseya and Kamungozi.
We go into this as underdogs, but are ready to pull of a few upsets on the way!!
