Yeah Swann should get it.
Harby too inconsistent.
Although Swann had the benefit of having a shorter career so no one really saw him when he was inconsistent, harby losing marks for only being good in early career.
Really after 2010 he didn't do much.
Durban 2010 last good test for him.
Wasn't really a force at home for couple of year preceeding that as well.

Sanga's not really a keeper in Tests, so Stewart might have a chance.

That gives a good slip cordon. Bob Simpson and Graeme Smith. Swann can be added as well.
