What counts is you don't deny that Cremer, plus the use of Raza, Malcolm and Williams will be a liability in South Africa since it's AWAY, while Jarvis won't be able to perform against them better than Chatara and Panyangara can.

What also counts is you have offered no solution, plus questioned my wanting them to be dropped if not batting high in the order as specialist batsmen.

Anyway, you have revised things and said they will be effective at HOME against West Indies. Let's wait and see then.

Imagine Innocent Kaia collecting 2 ducks while scoring just 65 runs over 4 innigs in a 2-match home Tests Series, and still being selected to go and face that same opposition in their home ground, then imagine this man...

I’m sorry but again you have failed to read what I wrote

I said Zimbabwe should pick 3 seamers that’s my solution / plan what ever you want to call it

I said Cremer will likely struggle, if you bothered to read my post about Zimbabwe’s spin options you would see I was fairly critical of Cremer the Test bowler

I also said Raza & Williams won’t be used in South Africa as much unless the front line bowlers fail to make an impact.

Can you please at least show your fellow members of the forum the respect to at least read what we write, we show you that respect it’s about time you did the same

Aleseni the only one I would have in there that is worth a chuck at the expense of the over rated Muzarabani.

Gupo's stats; pathetic. Hasn't scored above 44 in 3 seasons and tells a lot about your selection if you consider this bloke a starter.

Chikomba actually wouldn't be a bad inclusion but I prefer Mufudza as the spin option.

Chigumbura has done nothing to even be considered as a starter anymore.

Again, Muneyede is a much of the muchness type player. Left arm spinner who doesn't bat. Not a starter.

Does Elton even give a damn about 4 day cricket anymore? I wouldn't personally select him for anything other than T20s, especially considering he hardly even bowls these days.

Does he even deserve that honor? Nah. Leave him. There's more talented players now and more players who seem to want to be there.
