lets see if anyone can name all the players

[Detective RDS]

There are 15 players named in the squad and 4(Price,Cremer,Williams,Waller) of them are white.But there is 5 white players in the picture.I guess,the 5th white player is probably Barney Rogers.If not there is a little chance of his being Mark Vermeulen.But I will go with Rogers.

its the one above greame creamer who is front right

it could be Alister Campbell as don't think its a member of the squad must be part of the coaching team and i know the Campbell did some work with the side in the 2007 world cup

I thought the player is Malcolm Waller who is above Cremer and I was wondering seeing Malcolm Waller(infront of Williams) that who is he(I hvnt seen Waller before).So,I thought Waller as Rogers.I think,Malcolm Waller hs some similarity with Rogers.Anyway,the 5th white player will definitely be Alistair Campbell.I heard him saying while he was commentating that he wants to help Zimbabawean cricket.Ya,he helped the players in the preparation of the World Cup 2007.In Bangladesh,Campbell will perform any role which is related to coaching.Campbell now ages 36.I wish I would be able to watch Campbell bats for Zimbabwe again.But I know it's impossible!!!

Wow, let's give this a shot. It sure is a tough one. This is what I reckon:

Back: Sean Williams, Tatenda Taibu, Vusi Sibanda, Ed Rainsford, Chris Mpofu
2nd back: Malcolm Waller, Elton Chigumbura, Ray Price
3rd back: Walter Chawaguta, Tawanda Mupariwa, Forster Mutizwa, Keith Dabengwa
2nd front: Lorraine Chivandire, Hamilton Masakadza, Douglas Hondo, Amato Machikicho, Kenyon Ziehl?????????
Front: Prosper Utseya, Lovemore Banda, Givemore Makoni, Stuart Matsikenyeri, Graeme Cremer


The one above Cremer is definitely not Alistair Campbell (Campbell has short and dark hair).

Here are some possible candidates:

Barney Rogers

Kenyon Ziehl

I thought "no chance" when Detective RDS said Rogers... but there is quite a resemblance. Look at the chin and adam's apple. It looks too young to be Ziehl (he's in his late 40's I think) although he was sporting a similar hair-do during the Sri Lanka series. This is a really interesting situation here... I'm really interested to find out who it is. My money is on Ziehl, but if it is Barney Rogers then it we have definitely witnessed a New Years miracle.


Waller is the one under Sean Williams. Out of interest, Malcolm Waller pronounced "Waller" with the same sound as "Smaller", or "Waller" with the same sound as "Dollar"? Does anyone know?

My first guess on the guy accepting the flowers was Lovemore Banda, but maybe it's Givemore Makoni?



As for the second photo; Utseya, Mupariwa, Chigumbura.

i went to school with one of maclom wallers brothers


its waller sounding like dollar

[CrimsonAvenger]

Its got to be Kenyon Ziehl in that picture. At one moment I thought it could be Dirk Viljoen, who might have accompanied the team in some capacity, but no, its got to be Zeihl.
