In the context of this series: he's not there. I think he's one to keep an eye on, though. Although as Vusi is showing us, good domestic form doesn't automatically equal good international form.
Maehara you have hit the nail on the head. Good international form does not automatically translate to international form. I’m gonna steal the thunder from you a bit. It is a very important fact but we should have known and said it before because it is also not a revelation: Graeme Hick, Ajay Ajeda and Martin van Jaarsveld are names that made tons in domestic cricket but couldn’t cut it in international cricket, and perhaps this is where the “ class comes into play”.
You need to have certain of it (though Hick had it) to survive in international cricket, which again undeniably Taylor does seem to have.
I don’t understand though why Hamilton Masakadza’s name has been included in Munyedesi’s list because, yes, he has made runs at domestic level but he’s also made runs at international level.
Curiously, on the only positive I have for Greg Lamb, he may just turn out to be useful bowler for the Twenty20s, if only the selectors would have the courage to drop Utseya and appoint a new captain.
