Countdown to Test cricket: Who should bat at 3 (tie breaker)

[sloandog]

Williams has to bat at 3. He's got a solid technique, and he didn't do too badly during the world cup did he...?
He scored 30 odd against Canada and he scored a very impressive 30 against Australia..
Duffin to open with Taylor...[/quote]


Williams might have a good technique but has the heart the size of an ant. It is difficult enough for him to play three days with out being injured let alone 3 tests. His worst injury is his head[/quote]

:/ Don't really agree with that Tbh.
Sean wants to play for Zimbabwe as much as anybody...the fact that he's injury prone is not his fault and your in no position to say he hasn't got the heart for Test Cricket.

I don't see the merit of Vusi Sibanda coming any lower than three, so he's my vote again.

Sibanda is not worth a place in the side.

At least Matsi is a good captain, even if he is probably not in the top 11 players in Zim.

Sibanda = best technique in the country...

Sibanda reminds me of Englands Mark Ramprakash. Fine technique but lacking the ability to turn it into performances at the highest level. Sibanda will not make it, IMV.

The only issue I have with Williams is his fitness, or lack of it. He is perennially injured.

I strongly agree to Sloandog. And I am pretty happy with the 3rd position tie-breaker result .
Taylor opening with Duffin/Sibanda, Williams at 3, Masakadza at 4, Taibu at 5, Ervine at 6 and Chingumbura at 7. I love to see this batting line up for Zim's first test match against Bangladesh.

Its a nice choice. But, in current situation, its almost sure that Chingumbura will be leading Zim in their first test match. Then, he will have to bat atleast at No 7.

Is this forum capable of vote rigging? I'm not convinced. Williams 4, Hamilton 3!

[aydee]

I voted Williams, as I'd like Taylor and Masakadza opening.

Sean William for me...
