I knew employing a reject school coach as Head Coach & Selector of the national team was going to be a disaster. This is by far the worst side ever selected by Zimbabwe since the unavoidable lean years.

Dropped Shingi! Again! Seriously? Is this a way to retain in the XI, the worst frontline seamer to ever represent Zimbabwe in red colours(untouchable Jarvis), through citing a lack of experience on the part of Chinouya?
