More experienced, and more destructive when the mood takes him. I do rate Rainsford and Ireland though, I just don't think they're quite as good as Douggie yet.
In my opinion, Zimbabwe's pace bowling resources go something like this:
Hondo > Mahwire > Rainsford > Panyangara > Ireland > Mupariwa > Mwayenga > Mpofu
EDIT Oh jeez, the squad's been named.
Terrance Duffin will lead a 16-man Zimbabwe squad on their one-day tour of West Indies, which starts later this month. Duffin was captain in the recent drawn series against Kenya and the squad for this tour consists of many of the players who took part in those matches.
Zimbabwe are marginally strengthened with the return of Charles Coventry and Vusi Sibanda, the top-order batsmen. Sibanda has 27 ODIs under his belt while Coventry has played nine times and struck one half-century.
Piet Rinke and Keegan Meth, who were a couple of the positives to arise from the series against Kenya, both make the trip. The bowling attack will be led by Edward Rainsford and Anthony Ireland. The tour originally included two Tests, but following Zimbabwe's withdrawal from that form of the game the one-day series was extended from five to seven matches. The first game is in Guyana on April 29.
Squad Terrence Duffin (capt), Chamunorwa Chibhabha, Elton Chigumbura, Charles Coventry, Keith Dabengwa, Ryan Higgins, Anthony Ireland, Ngonidzashe Mahwire, Keegan Meth, Tawanda Mupariwa, Edward Rainsford, Piet Rinke, Vusumuzi Sibanda, Gregory Strydom, Brendan Taylor (wk), Prosper Utseya.
Ewing, Hondo and Panyangara obviously aren't fit, then. Good to see CJ Chibhabha, who is supposed to be a very exciting prospect, given a chance to improve on his duck in debut innings. He bowls a bit too, though so does everyone else. 12 players in that squad, if asked, would call themselves allrounders.
And at least the genius of Vusi Sibanda has returned to bless us all and make us privileged to see his era. I'll never forget where I was when I first saw Vusi play a ludicrous shot and throw away his wicket for a single-figure score, which had been compiled with unique aplomb and elan. I knew then I was watching someone who could only ever be described as a genius of cricket. Words cannot describe him, because no one would believe you.
