My test line-up is as follows. I have only included players who are currently available for selection.

1. Hamilton Masakadza
2. Brendan Taylor
3. Sean Williams
4. Tatenda Taibu
5. Craig Ervine
6. Andy Blignaut/Charles Coventry
7. Elton Chigumbura
8. Graeme Cremer
9. Ray Price
10. Edward Rainsford
11. Kyle Jarvis

If Blignaut isn't bowling, I would select Coventry instead as I think he may offer mroe with the bat in a test setting than Blignaut.
Neil Johnson, Alistair Campbell, Murray Goodwin, Andy Flower (w), Grant Flower, Dave Houghton, Guy Whittall, Heath Streak (c), Andy Blignaut, Ray Price, Eddo Brandes

I think very good team is one that has batsman who can bat for long.

Duffin
Taylor
Masakadza
Williams S
Matsikenyeri or Chibumbura
Chibhabha
Lamb
Taibu
Mawhire
Cremer
Price

Utseya should not play. He is useless.

And that impresses me the most along with Lamb's exclusion :D

Matiskenyeri has proven experience at top level. Craig Ervine is not proved at top level and has small part experience. We are talking test here and not one day thrash.

It is important to stand up for what is right.

Ervine is one game wonder at moment. Matsi has been in the team a long time and has lots of experience. He has played many games of longer duration and a few tests and did quite well in them. He has the application and has proven he has the ability.

You are forgetting we are talking test match here and not one day thrash.

You seem to be Ervine crazy. Perhaps you want to pick Ryan Ervine as well.

HA HA

Ervine or no Evine but Matsikenyari has so often disappointed. Terry Duffin is better than him...if u still persist...i would say Ebrahim can edge him out. You seems to be a Mountaineer fan!!!!

I had Duffin as number 1 to open to take shine off ball.

Mountaineers are ZanuPF team. I like Southern rocks although did not do too well.
