If Keegan Meth were to return, would he walk into the first XI?

I'd be keen on it. Meth can tie up an end and offer a lot of control. Jarvis and Cremer to be the strike bowlers and Chatara can prosper without having the burden of being the spearhead.
8 Cremer
9 Meth
10 Jarvis
11 Chatara

Categorically yes. Ridiculous talent

I'd even put him above Cremer with the bat. His FC stats are fantastic with the ball especially

Assuming Shingi and Panyangara are what?
Anyway, which Tests attack in the last 15 years do you know of that had 2 strike bowlers at the same time? I've got a few in mind, but I'd interested to hear some suggestions first.

Yes, he'd be a good addition to a depleted Tuskers' attack, although I'm not sure he can still turn his arm over after all that body building.

I have my doubts over how effective he would have been bowling under 120Kph on a flat deck in a test.
His first class stats are amazing way superior to any other fast bowler Zimbabwe has ever seen
It’s a shame he quit when he did it would have been interesting to see how he went

I'm surprised here.
Remember that Meth was never a staple of the team and was only ever a fringe when he was at his Logan Cup best.
There's no way after 4 years out he would WALK into the team. He could get there but it will take him a season to get fitneee and intuition back.

Seeing his facebook he's a massive unit now and doubt he would be able to capture his old form let alone run in for 20 overs a day if required. Still will never forget that shocking blow to the teeth he copped.

Ahh Crystal Meth, was wondering whatever happened to him. Has played almost no decent level cricket in a few years, would probably be rusty and out of rhythm.
