You have to pick Forster for the nextTest as a keeper batsman.

Kasuza is not a good player. Trust me.

Chatara needs to be there, goodness knows why he wasn’t in the first place?

Waller is an anomaly, as he bosses domestic cricket but is effectively our very own
Behardien, put Burl in for him.

My next test XI

1. Mire
2. Ham
3. Erv
4. BT
5. Burl
6. Willo
7. Raza
8. Forster
9. Cremer
10. Jarv
11. Chatara

Have you seen Mutizwa keep Flakeman ??

Serious question just curious if it’s true he’s not a good keep ?

You’re on the ground mate you hear things any idea why he’s always over looked ?

He seems pretty average at keeping to be honest. I’ve never rated his batting but he’s done too well to ignore now. He’s not that agile anymore either but stats speak for themselves

I saw him keep in that Test against NZ. Looked as clumsy as Roger Moore, oops Peter Moor.

The time he batted wasn't enough for me to decide the assertion that he was a bit ungainly.

But this shouldn't matter, he deserves a chance purely as a specialist batsman alone.

Like I said he looked clumsy but I could be wrong and if his keeping was reasonable enough, like Taylor's for instance, he deserves to walk into the Test side as the keeper/ batsman.

Absolutely!

Mutizwa has a greater argument to go in as a batsman than Williams does to be smuggled in as s spinner. Because ZIM shouldn't need 2 spinners in zIm. It needs two bats for Sean & Malcolm - Mutizws and Kasuza.
