You're right googly, that stat about stumpings doesn't tell the whole story. Andy Flower was still a decent keeper. Something that's overlooked due to his heroics with the bat, plus he had to skipper at times,plus deal with the general sh*t that is Zimbabwe Cricket. I think Taibu was probably the best Zim have had though.
How good was Wayne James? He played some ODI's and a handful of tests just after Zim got Test status. I remember reading a report on an early Sri Lankan test and he took 5 catches, 4 of them down the leg side, according to the report. It was the series when Alistair Campbell got 99,and Dave Houghton racked up 266.

Holds the world record for most dismissals in an innings by a fielder - nine (seven caught, two stumped) - and in a match - 13 for Matabeleland against Mashonaland Country Districts in April 1996. Made 99 and 99 in the same match.
