where are sibanda (does his contract in OZ rule him out?), panyangara (haven't heard his name in a while), hondo (too soon back from injury maybe but must warrant a contract - maybe 25 is too old as the rounour mill mentioned coaching)....and gary brent (no question on his ability) but how is he back in while others...

...other than that i guess it must be a positive that all contracts have been taken up without to much issue - yet

I thought Sibanda was going to play! Gary Brent good choice...we need some experience. I thought he left ages ago. Obviously, he realised he'd earn his best living on his farm and playing cricket.

I've not heard of most of the black players, and the ones I have heard of I didn't think would ever make it (Hove, Mutizwa, Garwe) but I guess you do the best you can...

What happened to Graeme Cremer?

not too sure - coventry has also dropped from my radar...but cremer went first. granhomme popped up, looked good for his brief stay and left too
