Your Best First XI

There is an oversupply of sheep-shaggers in this process. They must draw straws.

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

To everyone who missed out, I'll figure out a second competition where those that didn't play this one will have precedence.

To clarify the rules because I've had a few PM's suggesting it's not clear: your job is to choose the best First XI from the pool of players that have played at least 1 Test for Zimbabwe in the 2011-2017 era. So for example, Tinashe Panyangara is a valid selection but Grant Flower is not. Tino Mawoyo is a valid selection but Tinotenda Mutombodzi is not, Ray Price is valid but Piet Rinke is not.

And any player post 2011, so prosper utseya, lamb etc eligible?

Anything to avoid picking Malcolm Waller

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.

Googly will probably claim there aren't 11 cricketers left in Zimbabwe.

Can you pick a batsman at a batting position he hasn't batted at? e.g. Open with BT ?

Just submitted my team, I think it will be the winning one - very strong, no weaknesses.
