why isn't Elton Chigumbura bowling?

[butchering lee]

any ideas?....paoli!!? i don't think he's good enough to be in purely as a batsman [hope he proves me wrong] but he could be impressive when bowling

glad to see he is bowling again (in the champions trophy warm up match in india)...and taking a few wkts!!

How good is this lad Chigumbura? Have heard stories that when he wants to be he is quite sharp.? Would somewhere around the mid 80's mph be about right? although his stats suggest he doesn't know where he is putting it!
I think the answer as to why he wasn't bowling was a stress fracture to his back, but am just interested in peoples opinions of him as I know big Phil Simmons only had good things to say about him.
From my point of view he might make a good league pro in England next year which would only benefit him and Zim in the long run?
Let me know your thoughts.

so far he's been little more than promising...but for me, he had a series in SA when he looked really good - he was working up pace (don't remember exactly what km/h) and troubling all the batsmen. and he can wield a bat with moderate success. his fracture came soon after that series and nothing great since then - let's hope he gets back that form he showed briefly.
