With Rainsford, he might get a better deal at tests than ODI's because wicket-taking is more valuable in the former. Reckon an average like around 20(?) is deffo good enough for tests.

Ya definitely good enough for tests. Dale Steyn's average is 25. 30 Would be a good average for our bowlers

Rainsford should also work on his pace too, he wasn't that quick as i always thought he was ahead of Mpofu. What we lack is some genuine all rounders, someone like S Ervine, if he does not come back, we need to find some from the current squad. Chigs' bowling has gone really down, Chibhabha not there. Any potential ?

Justice Chibhaba has enormous potential. His bowling isn't slow by any means, but his lack of control is restricting him from cementing a spot in the side as a genuine all-rounder. I think if Heath Streak can help him, he's be a good all-rounder. His batting looks good. He's got a good technique and strong wrists, enabling him to hit the ball hard !
Cremer perhaps.....???
