At least his team bats up to number 9
I doubt there are nine batsmen in that XI. Zhuwao in test cricket is a walking wicket.
Neil Johnson, Alistair Campbell, Murray Goodwin, Andy Flower (w), Grant Flower, Dave Houghton, Guy Whittall, Heath Streak (c), Andy Blignaut, Ray Price, Eddo Brandes

He needs to drop the Don, who's too good for that side anyway, and call CZ 'Cephas' and then he can re-brand this rabble "The MCs".

I could genuinely make that team.
As captain.

If only he was more lethal with the ball. Do you think a lower order of Cremer at 7, Tiripano at 8 and Chisoro at 9 could make up for a batsman getting dropped ?
If Tiripano is as good as he's looked recently with the bat, he could bat at #6 as an all-rounder. Angelo Matthews is a terrific batsman, but a very mediocre seamer. No reason Tiripano can't fill that role. That said, Tiripano will need to have a Test average of around 30 to make a genuine #6.

Cremer is 7 is too high. He's a genuine #8 or 9. Chisoro, I haven't seen him bat to comment. But ideally you want a guy who can average 15 at 9, and that probably equates to a Logan Cup average of 20-25.
