There is likely to be a hell of a lot of consistency. A good chance the same faces will be in most teams. Except the one with Maruma and Chari in it.

Right, an Aussie creates a thread on Zim first XI and an Englishman, an Indian, a South African, a Bangladeshi and a New Zealander sign up. We await the resident Aussies, German and Tajikistani to complete the line up :)
Is it possible Zimbabwe has more non-native fans than any other test playing country?
Maybe the non-native fans are only more visible due to the comparativly small number of native fans?

Anyway, I'd much like to see the XIs of our real and resident Zimbos, like Googly or Conant--so I'll pass.
I'm in SA, foreignfield, since 2008 but I'll take that as a compliment ;) :)

Another clarification because I've had a few messages about this:

- You can select anyone in the team as captain (doesn't have to be people who have captained a Test)
- Players can bat at any position (they don't have to have batted there in a Test before)

You really need to define where this is played?
Harare ? More bowlers

India? Spin heavy

Just an example

KNOWN AS: Gus Mackay

'The' Gus Mackay.

Venue doesn't matter for this one, just pick the all round best team.

It seems people are taking this very seriously, and they should: It could be the greatest prize yet here at ZCF in terms of who's got the biggest and best "My XI". Bragging rights are on the line, gentlemen :D
