Zimbabwe search for the answer to their captaincy question

This piece suggests that there are 4 candidates for the Zimbabwe captain - a role that is vital if Zimbabwe are to take the tough step to return to Test cricket. I don't think I agree - Masakadza isn't really a credible candidate and Ray Price is far too prickly to be a level-headed captain capable of dealing with all manner of problems effortlessly and calmly. So Taibu and Taylor it is then - whoever it is, good luck to them.

The initial days of the World Cup

So far we've learnt:

- Sehwag is very dangerous when he comes off
- But not just to the opposition - his running is so poor it puts at risk his team mates and himself
- Kohli is a class player in the mould of Tendulkar so capable of playing that role if the little master is dismissed early
- Sangakarra and Jayawardene are superb and crucial to Sri Lanka's chances at this World Cup
- Lesser nations like Kenya are more prone to batting collapses
- Ray Price looks like a good opening bowling option for Zimbabwe - not surprising really as he is rated the 4th best ODI bowler in the world.

So, nothing learnt at all really as we knew all that already....
