I find that hard to believe.

Everyone knows that Elijah Otieno and Shem Ngoche from Kenya are the best death bowlers in the world.

Interesting (if not a little suprising) to see Elton Chigumbura's name at number 4th most destructive batsman at the death. Maybe the kind of boost he needed ahead of the world cup?

it helps when you play most of your games against bangladesh (the most inenept death-batting team out there) and minnows like ireland, kenya, etc. overall, i think zimbabwe have the 2nd best spin attack in the world at the moment behind bangladesh's. of course only a handful of teams employ multiple specialist spinners, but its also true that if they had better spinners, they'd play them.

but i will admit, Chigs, despite the form he might be in now, is one of the most destructive batters out there.

Very interesting, firstly - "Price and Proper Utseya have also prospered because they've played plenty of games against lesser opposition", quite often on Cricinfo, you find this statement "(excluding Zimbabwe)"- a bit of sarcasm don't you think?

Chigumbura stats are very interesting, most of us agree that the captaincy is adversely affecting his performance - rightly so, but there is another dimension to his drop in form, that is, he is coming in to bat too early (in terms of overs), a very unnatural position for him.
