Opening Batters

[Mueddie28]

I have suggestions
Instead of rotation chibhabha & vusi
How about Craig Ervines, PJ Moor, Raza or Chigs
Just a suggestion

I agree, Vusi has been ok on last few series, but he won't survive against good teams. Chibabha has potential to play well in seaming conditions, but he is another mediocre player. However, PJ and Hami would make the best opening pair as both are good strikers of the ball and pretty consistent.PJ has played few good innings at the top, and our selectors did a big mistake by not giving him a game in WC. I feel like Ervine, he has potential to build the innings ans score big. Mutumbami should never make it near to starting XI. Waller is not an ODI player, so it's about time we give chance to Ryan Burl in the middle order. I am starting to doubt on Raza's batting potential, he doesn't convince me in any formats. We should also try out other folks such as Keefe, Murray, Ives and Snyder. Chibabha could be tried out in ODIs as well.

Chakavba* could be tried out in the ODIs as well.

With a strike rate close to 55. How many times has he been tried

[zimbofan88]

Vusi has been tried for over 100 ODI matches even after failing miserably for a decade now and he somehow is still in the team. We can try Chakavba in few more matches specially in sub continents. He plays well against the spin and has the right technique.Like Waller and Vusi, Regis has also dominated in the domestic games with his bat. We are not gaining anything from Richmond, and there is no doubt that Chakabva is a better batsman/keeper than Richie. However, I would pick PJ before Richmond and Chakavba in ODIs and t-20s, but we all know Zim is not comfortable handing the gloves to PJ yet.

Chakabva is garbage. I would rather try Mutizwa, Moor, or Murray.

[tailender]

Chakabva's avarage in ODIs is horrible for the number of matches he has played

[ZIMDOGGY]

Regis is good for tests In my opinion, that one in every two year occurence.

how do u guys think Elton would do up the order? I saw his name was mentioned..could be something worth trying.he clearly isn't an all rounder anymore and 1 thing I have noticed about him is that when he is set he can be very destructive. he is never really given much time to get settled.. long shot but we can't deny the guy has talent..
