Yes, I agree that Taibu is a very good keeper. My point is, all things are not equal here... He will have to do a great deal to get into the SA side...and he's going to have to do it consistently for 2 seasons, at the LEAST, to have a look in. (after he has qualified to play for SA, of course)

And of course, the selectors will always look at "local" talent first...or they will have all of SA cricket supporters up in arms...
