Hamilton- Best Black Zim Player ever??

[Kriterion_BD]

Maybe?
Who is he up against.

Taibu will be alot of peoples choice. Taibu had fight but only averaged mid twenties with the bat and although was quick behind the stumps, he was mistake prone as well. Alot of times i never had him in my top 11, but hes up there.

Chatara?

Hard to judge as he hasnt played against proper quality in a while. If he did and kept up his 2 wickets an innings type figures, i would say it would be him, but i dont think he would be ale too. His bowling action is too wonky and air balloon manlike.

Prosper?

He can never be judged as he was a cheat so was on a non even level.

Elton?

Elton at his best was really good, it just didnt last long. If he retired early he would have had a great legacy and couldve won.

You have to remember that against top opposition Hamilton also averaged about 25 across formats. In Tests his only centuries came against Bangladesh and a West Indies side with no name bowlers. I would say its a toss up between Hamilton, Taibu, and Chatara. Chatara has actually been better than many people think.

I’d say Roach, Garbriel & Holder can’t be classed as ‘no name bowlers’

As for the title of the thread I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it? I could have titled it ‘where does Hamilton rank amongst all Zimbabwe players’ but there’s so many ahead of him I felt this was a more interesting discussion.

Here in Oz the question always gets asked about the best indigenous player or team so I don’t see why it’s an issue

To be fair, at that period of time they were a very weak attack for whatever reason.

Vermeulen got a century against that attack in one f his first few innings as well.

At this point, WI were declining extremely rapidly and were being kept afloat by some good batting talent like Lara, Chanderpaul and a few others im not bothered to look up. I just recall thinking at the time their attack isnt much better than Zims.

Not the attack from his 2001 century, we’re talking about his last century, the 2017 edition

Yes. Hamilton is.

Chatara has scope to overtake him if opportunities continue to exist.

Hammy or Taibu.
