Well, I am sure you've seen more of Rinke than me, but all I've seen of him (probably about 10 balls faced batting in 3 innings, and about half a dozen overs) smells of 'decent club cricketer' to me. Saying that, he's clearly as much of an opener as Darren Gough and I'm guessing that being put up there in an international isn't doing him any favours.
As for Scott Brant, well, the least said about him the better. I have seen a
lot of Scott Brant during his time at Essex, some would say too much. He was awful. The worst Essex player in the last 10 years. Not helped by a run of nasty injuries, but I could count his useful performances on the fingers of one hand. If you're hankering for Brant, Zimbabwean cricket's in a worse state than I thought!
Thankfully, I wouldn't replace any of the current Zimbabwe attack with Brant.
What's your opinion on Brendan Taylor doing the keeping, do you think we'd see more of his batting potential realised if the keeping was passed on (preferably back to Tatenda Taibu!)?
