How good is this South African bowling side? Are they international standards?

Is it now a requirement that players have to have a certain hair style to play for Zim.
Remember when they made them all shave? That was a turning point that marked mupariwa's decline

Myers and Shumba have to be included somewhere in that test squad.

Marumani and Wez have to play in the ODI's

Zimbabwe have found the batting which they need for future, now they should hunt for seam bowling allrounders, 140+ kph pacers and wicket keeper batsman

I am not a pace expert but the likes of Wagner and Jimmy Anderson seem to bowl under 135km/hr but their bowling always is unplayable. Is it really a matter of speed only or we can develop the stock that we have to bowl god lines learn to swing both ways at their natural speeds. Philander comes to mind as well.

Shumba is too slow even for test standard

Yeah. And Myers not too far away from ODIs too.

31 of 131 balls on the first day is really not good. These are the type of games you develop your strike rotating shots and not just block like we are fighting for a draw already. Again, MINDSET is important
