Voting begins - Best First XI competition

[Conant]

IMO its very simple. Is Hami a better #3 than Ervine? No.

There is unfortunately a minor flaw in that argument. Ervine is yet to play at no. 3 in a test match.

That fact makes this situation even more tragic.

Makes his bias against Masakadza quite apparent.

I voted for Team F by the way although I would have loved to Raza in place of maybe Mawoyo???

Interesting that some teams have Chakabva rather Taibu as wickey?

Can only think that's because he wasn't considered at all for various reasons?

Anyway, who are the culprits, confess now.

[ZIMDOGGY]

literally none of thoset eams i fully agree with.
D or H very close.

Lack of clarity I suppose. I would have had Taibu in my team so basically swap Regis for Taibu.

Team D and H the joint highest have Cremer in them as a bowler. Those sides will never win a Test match, except maybe the shock first match victory against BD at home!

You would know that almost every Indian, Bangladeshi and Pakistani in SA - the absolute majority extremely poor - is conditioned to undermine the African(both local and neighbouring) as lesser folk by the general white population here.

Some of the things Kriterion has directed towards African players have been gut-wrenching. How else can we explain an American(or Canadian) based Bangladeshi picking unproven and unaccomplished white youngsters he has little knowledge of in his XI ahead of excellent accomplished African players, other than the mere fact that his thinking has been conditioned by the prevailing views he found.

Lets just leave the race biting for now. Please?

Pick your pram up, your toys and the dummy whilst you're at it. It's a vote, mate, of our favoured XI's. There's no hostility in it, just some fun.
That chip on your shoulder is getting larger and larger with every idiotic post.

I too voted for F. As a big fan of Hami at 3 I had to put my money where my mouth is (and E looked a bit too agressive with Cremer at 7), although I would be tempted to bring in Cremer for Price to give the tail a bit more stability.

We've got a tie between Team D and Team H, so I'll start a run-off poll shortly to decide the winner.

[Flakeman]

I am only just seeing this. I vote team D !
