And where exactly is Jarvis right now considering he's part of this so called 'training squad'!

Come to think of it, I wonder who initiated this idea of coming up with this useless&inflated group of players. If Butcher, Heath & Grant have anything to do with, I think it's time the ZCF considers pushing for Dave Houghton before it's too late. One thing's for sure nothing good can ever come out of something bad. You stand a better chance of refining 16 to 11 than 32 to 11. This is poor preparation!

I agree with hhm...Jarvis is in this squad while playing overseas yet they have no room for Waller and Ewing.. And I am sure if you asked either Ewing or Waller(if infact the reason they have not been selected is because they are overseas) to come back and represent their country, they would not decline... Stupid thinking and planning as usual by the management staff!!

Sean Williams is taking a break from cricket and spending some time in S.A & Botswana as he's had lots of injuries and these have taken a mental and physical toll. He's also had a few contractual issues but I'm confident he'll return in september, hopefully fully fit & raring to go. Gavin Ewing's wedding is pretty imminent so with organising that & honeymoon this may explain his non-selection.

That's ok. It's not like he's got another WC knockout game to bow out of before going off to his Irish treasure now does he!

VUSIMUSI SIBANDA WILL BE IN THE STARTING TEST X1 - Some might not like this or believe it but this is how the cookie is going to crumble! Wait for Julty 29 to prove me wrong.

It wouldn't surprise me if Vusi was in the starting XI. The selectors have made alot of dumb decisions so there is no reason for me to doubt they will continue to make dumb selections.
