Admittedly Sir Donald Bradman averages 0 when Zimbabwe wins a test match.
Neil Johnson, Alistair Campbell, Murray Goodwin, Andy Flower (w), Grant Flower, Dave Houghton, Guy Whittall, Heath Streak (c), Andy Blignaut, Ray Price, Eddo Brandes

Sir Donald Bradman was lucky he never had to face an attack consisting of Utseya no way he would have averaged 99.94

This is exactly how I felt. Ideally I think H would be the ultimate team if it had ray price instead of cremer in my opinion. I just pulled out his stats and I have to say they are ahead of our captain's with a better average and an economy under 3. It's a shame he lost 5 whole years of test cricket during our time off when he was at his peak.
Although I must say with the workload cremer has now he might close the gap significantly over the next 5 test matches then we can judge them when they are both on 22 matches. I doubt he will cut that economy tho.

Yes it does if we take out Sean Williams and replace him with the ‘match winning version’ of Vusi in the last test match Zimbabwe are still 80 runs short and also need to find another 6 wickersKriterion_BD wrote: ↑Fri Oct 27, 2017 11:25 pmHe does? Well that changes things. Hhm may have a point.

I forgot to add an expiry date for this poll, so we'll just say by the end of the 2nd Test.
Re: Voting run-off - Best First XI competition
So looks like Team H is the winner

Damn, my squad almost made it.
The only difference was I had Price and the other guy had Panyangara, who I dont rate. In retrospect my squad could have been better if I had Shingi who alsp adds value with the bat.m

Yes I thought the fact you had Price and had Panyangara would work against me in the round off because Pricey is so well loved.
For me the side really picked itself apart from the spinner role which came down to Price and Cremer, but I took into consideration Cremer’s 100 also and the fact he is the leading wicket taker since re-admission to make my decision.
I also thought that maybe having Hami opening would hurt me but I’ve always been a strong believer he’s an opener so I stuck with it.
Humbling to see most of my pears here agree with me
