Bliggie should be dropped.

What for? How many times has he failed? or how many chances were given to him?

He was given a chance in T2O at crucial No.3 and he did played with positive intent.

It's funny a month ago Blignaut was going to be the answer to more Zimbabwean success and one game in we are talking about dropping him. It's hard to no what to do with him as he was a good player 3-4 years ago and he hasn't proven it domestically that he still is that player. I'm with sloandog and doubt he could still bowl 140+, so will have to work on his control and variations but his batting should still be a valuable asset.

As for the wicket keeping Taibu is the best bat and keeper in the country and should be the number 1 man. Remember Taylor was really struggling for international runs prior to saturday.

And it's a disgrace Williams isn't in the side, I thought he was considered one of the best batsmen in the country.

Okay I'll reason with you mate :) He's not been given a good run in the side, that's a more than fair comment. But what i was saying was that i don't think that our youngsters (Who have stuck with Zimbabwean Cricket for the past 12-18 months) should just be dropped for a man that hasn't played for his country for the past 5 years ! He's a fantastic player, no questions asked, but i don't like the idea of dropping somebody like Cremer, Utsea or Lamb who are younger than Bliggie, and are our future stars. It's a tricky one yes, but if i had to drop somebody for a short term basis, it would be Bliggie.
