You're right googly, that stat about stumpings doesn't tell the whole story. Andy Flower was still a decent keeper. Something that's overlooked due to his heroics with the bat, plus he had to skipper at times,plus deal with the general sh*t that is Zimbabwe Cricket. I think Taibu was probably the best Zim have had though.
How good was Wayne James? He played some ODI's and a handful of tests just after Zim got Test status. I remember reading a report on an early Sri Lankan test and he took 5 catches, 4 of them down the leg side, according to the report. It was the series when Alistair Campbell got 99,and Dave Houghton racked up 266.
99 ODI stumpings so far...

Re: 99 ODI stumpings so far...
Holds the world record for most dismissals in an innings by a fielder - nine (seven caught, two stumped) - and in a match - 13 for Matabeleland against Mashonaland Country Districts in April 1996. Made 99 and 99 in the same match.
