I think at 7 we need to try out Waller, the boy can bat and bowl, he could come in as a poor mans version of creamer.... As for njabulo he bowled three overs because he got injured

I think Meth should be in. Although we haven't seen the guy perform with the bat (nor the ball for that matter) yet, i think he could be a vital addition since he manages to bring the side some ballance. Ever test side has a number 8 that can bat and bowl.

Agree with you on the value of a decent test number 8. And in Meth and Utseya we have a couple of contenders. I love Prosper, but I would also like to see what Meth can do. If he can swing it he could be a handful vs. Bangladesh.

But looking at that list, Broad would probably bat at 5 or six for Zim. He even batted at 9 today with Swann at 10. Didn't do Englad any harm.
