Talking My best eleven!

My best eleven would be:

Neil Johnson - fast bowler and very good attacking batsman
Grant Flower - very useful bowler for one-dayers, good batsman, very good fielder
Stuart Carlisle - for me, the best captain that Zim ever had, good batsman and fielder
Sean Ervine - brilliant all-rounder
Andy Flower - best batsman of the world
Dave Houghton - doughty and courageous batsman
Guy Whittall - big of heart, great character, useful all-rounder
Duncan Fletcher - the strategist
Heath Streak - most successful fast bowler that Zim ever had
Ray Price - best spinner that Zim ever had (totally befuddled Dravid, Sachin, and Lara's West Indians in his short career)
Paul Strang - another biggie of heart, great spin bowler

Its also a balanced team. Notable omissions - Alistair Campbell (he could provide electrifying starts), Trevor Gripper (very good batsman, unfortunate for his arrival on the world stage), Murray Goodwin (another excellent batsman), Eddo Brandes (large of heart, fiery), and Douglas Marillier (who can forget his strange lofted paddle sweeps, which won a lost game against India and almost another one against Australia).
