Hell he doesn't even perform that well in the Logan Cup nowadays. Let him play the shorter ODI AND T20 innings where now and then he manages to sparkle.
Him batting at five is an insult to all the luminaries like Flower and Lara hell even Damien Martin who once occupied this rarefied space.
show his career stats that include the 6 wickets he's taken in this Test.
Did those wickets come at zero cost?
Do any wickets come at zero cost?

What team concedes 500+ runs regularly - marginally better this game - yet still laud their bowlers?
Even Cremer is extremely overrated!
West Indies scored 600 runs in 200 overs. You're at home but their solitary and very average spinner has given you headaches - achieving nothing in your 120 overs.
You have to blame the attack. Especially considering you prepared the pitch to your numeric and strategic advantage.
Imagine if they brought a 2nd spinner. ZIM would've been humiliated even more on this deck.
His bowling has really come on and is the only reason he is and should be in the XI. His spin is probably more valuable than that of Chisoro, M'shangwe, Nyumbu. But his batting is seriously flawed. I haven't rated his batting in a long while and he could have really put ZIM in a decent position today.
