test line up?

Post by zimsupporter »

Hammie
Taylor
Craig Ervine
Sean Williams
Sean Ervine
Taibu
Chigumbura
Blignaut
Price
Cremer
Rainsford/Jarvis/Ireland

Blignaut or Chigumbura should be dropped immediately if they underperform as they both are similar types of players, we should be an extra batsmen or bowler instead. I will love to see Williams bowl too as he is more than a useful bowler and can get some breakthroughs.

Too ambitious.Both are big match winners and dropping them will be a stupid idea. We must not get carried away by recent success and should not be lured by those who are not in Zimbabwe.

I second that both are very good and both would fit well in a Zim Test syd. (I can never get enough of Bliggie's 93 against Windies in 2001 one). Hope he will get some of that form back just like how Streak played later in his career first he was a bowler his batting was a bonus. At the moment Bliggie is a bowler and Elton is a batsman its cool like that.

I'm watching Bangladesh Test series in England and they're struggling. If it was us, right now in England against this English team, which team would you pick? How would they do?

Considering the fact that G.Flower M.Goodwin and S.Ervine all are playing in England rite now,they would be well used to such conditions and i guess we could have won too.
