I'm going to say Williams is up there with Neil Johnson and Taylor as arguably out most talented multi format batter. He makes it look easy

Raza and Burl owe us with the ball here. I really hope Madande bats at 5 on Saturday. He isn't a number 7. Raza isn't a number 5. I don't know what's going on at the brains trust.

I'm talking natural ability. Flower was a grafter and made the most of his ability by being mentally and technically sound. I don't think many here would disagree, for example, that Alistair Campbell was more naturally gifted than Flower but mentally weaker

I've over Chatara. Running up bowling 75mph pea shooters when there's Chivanga waiting to bolt. Looks so innocuous now days

Disagree on Madande. He’s young. Keep him at 7, let him keep learning with pressure off. Don’t rush him too soon!!! He can move up a place or two in a couple of years ideally.

He’s good!!!! Let’s not ruin him

Not good enough is it. He's played for 13 years now and he's obviously been an excellent servant, but its time to move on.

I'd rather see Jongwe in this side
