Hahaha, Mike I was just about to do the same thing being frustrated from that defeat by the WI. I'll definitely balance my fantasy league though and put equal number of Zim and WI players. WI players are just not cut out for anything 50 over and above.

Mike it looks like your all Zimbabwe team might not be a bad idea. Look at the current scores in the warm-up.

Sibanda reaches a brilliant century with a big 6 over square. Zimbabwe motor on to 203/1 off 31 overs against UWI VC XI at Progress Park

And that 1 wicket was a run out.

Is it a sign of things to come on Friday?

Looks like I might have to rethink my fantasy team
