Nathan Waller, ( 25) is a fine allrounder prospect in Zimbabwe for future. He always has been a seasonal performer for the Eagles in Zimbabwe Domestic Cricket has got 6 50s and one ton, 38 wickets in his 22 match first class career , but still selector haven't considered him for national colours. Once Nathan signed a contract to play club cricket in Ireland that might be taken as negative by the selector, but he later came and continued his good performance for the Eagles.
2011 -12, MATCHES -7 RUNS - 155, WICKETS - 11
2012 -13, MATCHES -7 RUNS - 242, WICKETS - 13

SRI LANKA DEV XI , MATCHES - 3, RUNS - 47, WICKETS -3
AFRICA CUP T20, MATCHES - 1, RUNS - 7, WICKETS 2
At present Zimbabwe has got very less skilled allrounders, his spell of 3/36 in first match against Afghanistan clearly showed he has got skills to swing the bowl, where prime fast bowlers failed to pick wickets in conditions helpful to them, he should be given national call up for the 5 match odi sereis against Afghanistan to be held in february. Elton Chigumburra, who represented 200 odis for Zimbabwe has failed completely in the year 2016, where he played 6 odis and scored just 67 runs with 8 T20s, scoring 146 runs, getting 0 wickets in both the format, its definately better to pick Average Nathan Waller then Failure Elton Chigumbura or Chamu Chibhabha in the odi squad
