Is it a fair assessment that Streak has been our best coach since at least Marsh?

We could also ask the Sri Lankans. Heath Streak is easily the best coach we have had since Marsh.

The teams butcher put out were mind boggling in their selection.

I always assumed it had political meddling. But from what I understand in his book he’s only ever mentioned one instance of meddling. And it was just prospers continued selection.

speaking of awards I hope we can get our own poll running maybe after the S.A. test if necessary for national player of the year? young player of the year? domestic player of the year?

Zimbabwe had some good results under Butcher and he introduced some good players into the system.

Away form under Butcher was very bad though
