Where does Sean Williams rank among the Zimbabwean greats? Genuine question. Maybe I'm crazy, but top 5, surely.

Andy Flower
Dave Houghton
Murray Goodwin
Brendan Taylor
Sean Williams

Hope he kicks on and gets a big hundred in this one.
Top of the tree by a long way. Those other guys had quality around them, Williams does it alone and with a bad back :lol: every time he plays he knows it will come down to him.

That's the top 5, not sure if that is the exact order

He's played against lesser teams and he has a little glitch against raw pace, but for the big gaps between games and the little practice he appears to do he's right out there with the best in the world.

A minimum of a 50 run lead is critical here.

Think you’re confusing him with raza bro :lol: :lol: there’s no associate bashing in test cricket, no sub sub qualifiers to stat pad here.

Not sure why you wouldn't take BRMT as your wickie for this tour. Yes he's old but he had loads of experience in Bangladesh.

Ya but his stats against SA and NZ (i think it's NZ) are poor. Around 12.
