Campbell was a decent captain. Craig Ervine is also a good leader, I think Campbell will edge it.

Definitely Mawoyo to open as I said earlier.

Pommie and David Brain as the others suggested.

Graeme Cremer was a better bowler than his stats suggest, a good leader and he could hold a bat: he edges Traicos.

Campbell

Not sold on Mawoyo as opener as previously outlined. Can’t think of anyone better at the moment and with not so flash internet access. Will abstain but probably regret it later. The answer isn’t Whittall anyway.

Mbangwa & Brain (Rawson ffs - played more for them than Gary sodding Ballance ever did!)

I think I agree with Chubb’s assessment on Cremer. Definitely a better batsman and I don’t think the bowling difference is big enough (perhaps not in Traicos’ favour at all, tbph). A vote for Cremer please.
