good questions put up there. I think it is anybody's guess outside of the known sureshots. I would prefer Chamu ahead of Maruma, Vusi and Matsi as he might occasionally come off at the top of the order as he likes the ball coming on to the bat. If you are thinking of playing him in the middle order though. Don't even bother. And he must not go anywhere near bowling too.

I will be very very devastated if Mupariwa does not get a look in. But we know how they work...

True.
I remember Chibhabha played some good knocks against SA in 2010. But he SHOULD NEVER BOWL in international cricket.

And Mupariwa has to be picked.

Hanging in the balance. Does anyone know how much cricket Chibhabha has been playing and what kind of figures he has. If he can give us 30 40 runs up front then his worth a go.

Guess he has pipped Vusi ?

How many more spare batsman could be in the squad ? Surely one more max .....

If Chamu is in, I quite like the look of:

1 Raza
2 Chamu
3 Hami
4 Taylor
5 Williams
6 Mire
7 Chigs

I'd rather have Chamu at the top than at 3 or 4. That's less pressure for him, and Raza can be agressive if needs be.

With this 7, we also have four useful bowling options (Hami, Mire, Willy amd Chigs).
Peterhouse U14C 4th change bowler and no. 10 batsman (but only because Aaron didn't have a bat).
