1.Hamilton
2.Taylor
3.Taibu
4.Williams
5.Flower
6.Chigs
7.Dabengwa
8.Cremer
9.Price
10.Utseya
11.Masakadza

If we choose the team based on current form only, we would have made a big mistake. We have to consider the fact that Bang attack has left-arm off spiners & our right handers struggle against those. I would love to see both Williams & Dabengwa in the starting 11 coz they have experience of playing against Bang at home.
12.4 Odhiambo to Vermeulen, FOUR, that's an appalling long hop, Vermulen had plenty of time to get into position, drink a cup of tea, and pull the ball towards the long leg boundary- his first boundary today

If that is the case i would select three left handers in Ervine/Williams and Dabengwa

Very good point actually. Cricket requires somebody who can bat and bowl well. Or one atleast. Dabengwa however fails at both.....so why the hell would you pick him...

Because he's a poor cricketer mate. He's only just hanging on at first class level let alone international...
