Re: Countdown to Test cricket: Number five batsman
I voted for Tibba but I also see Ervine as a five and for him to come at 6 in my teams means that we have a fairly good top order.

Re: Countdown to Test cricket: Number five batsman
My vote goes to Craig Ervine. Seems like 6 is a forgone conclusion - Taibu. Apparently, Chakabva did ok in the ghost training games, but even if he were to be selected & get a century against Aus A on Wednesday, surely we won't need a poll for that one now would we? Of course with him improving plus Waller & Mutizwa in the picture now, proper batsmen in comparison to Elton (regardless of his allrounder status), it wouldn't hurt to reopen the number 7 slot, especially now that he's no longer captain.

I totally agree, lets reopen the number 7 slot now that Elton is not guaranteed a spot cause he is captain.
