i didn't finish yesterday...in many ways taibu would be a very good option.

he has shown he can cope in the test arena under enormous pressure (his ave only rose - 29 is not great but he has a century and nine 50s and in the right setting could go a long way).


against him - boucher has been called on to retire and always comes back with vengance - he isn't THAT old so will not retire soon.
without getting too political - i think the politics of cricket might make it a little hard - it's not like he's an absolute "no-brainer" like the zimbo who made the springbok team.
