He didn't mention anything in the coverage about Zahir but my guess is he was left out to shore up the batting a little. Zampa/Zahir + 2 pace bowlers is possibly too spin heavy with Maxi likely to need to bowl 3 of the other 4 overs, but going Zx2 and 3 pace bowlers means the batting depth is pretty dire. Not having NCN massively upsets the team balance more than just his bowling skills as he's handy with the bat too, but so far none of Hatcher/Stanlake/Rainbird/Morris etc have shown they can be relied on for runs (granted some of them haven't really had the opportunity).
Also worth keeping in mind that as long as they keep persisting with Spiceman opening they are an additional batsman down, so that puts the squeeze on guys like Zahir even more. I'd love to see them shake it up, open with Stoinis & Cartwright and put Spiceman down to 6 (if he hadn't taken 2 great catches yesterday I'd say drop him completely!)

Surprised Spiceman wasn't sitting next to Paul on the plane back to the West Indies to be honest.
Lose Pooran and their batting suffers even further , playing at least 2 batsmen each game who shouldn't be in the side.
Very ordinary batting lineup if both Maxwell & Stoinis fail in the same game together.
Interesting selections coming up for them and what balance they go with.

Am thinking of just bringing in Lynn, even if one game is washed out, because his team is doing well, no much pressure on his shoulders as other players are contributing and he’s back opening and did time the ball well in the last match and hasn’t made a huge impact yet in the tournament, a quick fire ton is around the corner is my feel.

Sams 62 C
( missed opportunity)
Short 9
Hales 71
Milne 7
Khawaja 10
Stoin 132
Maxi 23
I need to be different so I’m backing Renshaw to beat Bryant’s 35
I was top 300 after R1 then I dropped 3000 spots and since then I haven’t gone slightly down the 4000th
Where is the reset button
At least it’s nice to see a large amount of SCS members doing so well

One thing to flag (to you and perhaps others) is that players typically lock out at the scheduled start time, not the actual start time.
This means we will probably need to make decisions based on whatever info we have shortly before play is scheduled - ie we can’t wait to see how long the rain lasts.
