It would be really sad if Kasuza has to miss another test. What an unfortunate start for a career

Is there a quick leftie in the mix for us ?
It feels like the obvious solution is replace this Ainsley plod with another quick on a pacemans deck.
Only problem is Mumba is more of the same.
What we need is a Vitori type, who doesn’t chuck.
And I feel that selectors deserve some criticism for our slow start in the first test that ultimately ruined us.
They picked two debutants.
The nameless symbol isn’t a debutant but in essence his position was a similar mentality. Burl or Moor should have been there, maybe Burl, as it feels as if we need his leggies.

Ngarava is an option but he’s all over the place. Has a bit of pace though

No mate, here's the Cricinfo page:
http://www.espncricinfo.com/zimbabwe/co ... 30366.html
His bio:
viewtopic.php?t=2843
For a while, us forumers believed that he was a left arm fast bowler. I think even Cricinfo had it wrongly. Then we got to know he was right arm fast. Given his background and preparation and his domestic exploits, he was destined for national honours had he continued for another season. Injuries took some toll, but not sure why he left the game completely. Or is he still playing club cricket?

Ngarava is the same pace as everyone else. And he's worse than Tiripano.
Mumba for Ndovolu. Its a no brainer. Mumba actually has some pace (can hit 140).
