Re: Sean Ervine
The most beatifuric (hahaha) is Sean Williams. Then Taylor. I think Masakadza. Elton looks good as well.
They say Vusi is the most technically correct, but I'm not sure what they mean

It means he is like Damien Martyn or Mark Waugh - but without the runs or success.

Re: Sean Ervine
I agree with Conant, Sean Williams and then Taylor.
Williams has more finesse and relies on timing. Taylor's technique is the more effective one as he seems more able to adapt to the situation. When he's on song, his cover drives and off drives are as good as they come. His guide down to third man is a great "get out of jail free card" shot which I think he hasn't really got a lot of credit for, but he is very good at it (I believe Shane Watson utilises it now as well). And now he's starting to bring his upper cut into regular play - I sure hope he doesn't mis-hit one straight to the wicket keeper because so far he has pulled it off to perfection and it would be a shame to see him lose confidence in that stroke.
I agree with the above comments about Taibu, he's a very good batsman and he can take it to the best. His reverse-sweeps do leave him a bit exposed but I don't think he will try that at Test level unless the shot is on. In the ODIs it's done more out of necessity I feel (ie. the run rate, rotating the strike) more than any great desire to sweep the ball.

Re: Sean Ervine
Vusi once he is on song plays some extraordinary shots especially his cover drives off the back foot!

Re: Sean Ervine
yes, but he won't be recognised as the cricketer he was once renound for in ZimbabweJemisi wrote:To get back to Sean Ervine, I think it is damning that he is still being left out by Hampshire even though they are struggling. I wonder how things will look for him if they continue to leave him out? Can he make yet another return to Zim after burning his bridges so badly?

Re: Sean Ervine
Why not?
If he breaks into the national team and hits centuries and takes wickets all of this drama will be long forgotten.
My point is, if he decides to do an about-turn and return to Zimbabwe he can only be judged on his form. He wouldn't get any preferential treatment though, no automatic squad selections like in the World Cup... he'd have to earn his colours at domestic level through good performances.
