I agree, not only Vittori but Mpofu and Chigumbura too seem to bowl much better at our lefties than the right handers. Most of the time the right handers got out to these bowlers is by playing a loose shot compared to some "Jaffas" the lefties faced. With this in mind I have gone for a radical lineup that I wish to see but know that will never happen:-

Tamim
Junaid
Mushfiqur
Shakib
Ashraful
Riyad
Shuvagoto Hom
Nasir Hossain
Shafiul
Nazmul Hossain
Rubel

In this lineup there are 3 pace options and plenty of spin options available with Nasir, Riyad, Ashraful and Shuvagoto all able to bowl alongside Shakib. Also the batting is deep with lots of right handers to nullify the threat of Zimbabwe's pacers, who bowl better against left handed batsmen.
