Sibanda is class, unbeatable and nothing further from the truth. He has as good a technique as any batter we've had in the past 20 years playing cricket for Zimbabwe, but he lacks the physiological toughness those guys had i.e Campbell, Flower, Whittal, Carlisle etc.

If he clicks, he clicks big, and when he fails, he fails at the wrong time. It does need sorting I admit, but dropping him or moving him about is not the answer. Keep him opening, and the more tests we play, the more he's going to improve. Vusi Sibanda is one of the few, genuinely class batters we have, so he stays for me.
