Nice history of Rhodesian/Zimbabwean cricket : http://www.espncricinfo.com/westindies/content/story/259980.html

So Whittall v Taylor finished 5 all and I went for Guy after quite a bit of thought. They have similar batting records only making runs against Bangladesh and NZ. I like the fact that Whittall can bowl a bit too, would have been more of a factor if a second spinner was picked ahead of Jarvis though. I also like how Whittall batted regularly at 6, while Taylor has only batted there once (because he is good and bats higher tbf). I am a Taylor fan but he has performed better in ODIs than Tests.
