Maybe he will be a patriot and play for the love of his country with his hair painted with the flag colours and all. Sadly man can not live on pride alone.

So it's not an April Fools joke?

He's pushing 35 now, so his shelf life as a fast bowler would be pretty limited. He was hitting low to mid 130's a few years ago; you'd think he'd have lost some pace since then. If he could re-invent himself as a specialist batsman (and demonstrate it) then I could see him forcing his way in at the expense of a Waller or a Williams, because the few overs he would provide would probably be pretty useful, but as a specialist bowler - while admittedly he would strengthen a weak tail - I wouldn't pick him. I think it's far more important to get game time into the likes of Jarvis, Vitori, Chatara.

Anyway, I think Zimbabwe's bowling attack - while not world class - is okay and not a huge cause for concern at the moment. Between Jarvis, Chatara, Mpofu, Cremer and Price - throw in Vitori and a few other guys pressing their cases at domestic level - we've got enough to work with. If Blignaut slotting in at number six could average 30 (he's a 90's player, so you hope he'd bring some of that old school toughness that otherwise only Price has right now) and be the difference between a Zimbabwe Collapse or a modest but respectable 250 all out then I'd pick him
