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.
Nyumbu has a Test fifer! Chisoro has never played Tests.
Hami would have had far much more impact on this match with the ball than both Williams and Raza combined!

Nyumbu has a Test fiver against a team that can't play spin well. On a rank turner in Dhaka, he got picked apart. Chisoro has a first class avg of 40+ in a league where any SLA should average under 20. Willliams took 6 in this Test...Hami's 60 mph darts would take more wickets, where even Roach and Gabriel haven't got that many???
The one spinner who could possibly do better than Williams is Wellington but he can't bat at all. Might still be an option unless you slot Williams down to #7 or 8 where a bowling all-rounder belongs.

Why bother?
Drop both Williams and Malcolm with Vusi and Wellington coming in will significantly strengthen Zimbabwe.
