  • What a return for Zimbabwe!

    I decided to start a career as Zimbabwe just to see how easy/hard/fun it would be. The first test was against Bangladesh and, well, let's just say it was an absolute cracker! It swung both ways quite often, but a run-out sealed a tie for Zimbabwe!

    Very unlucky not to win as well as Taibu getting out on 99. Good luck in your campaign

      Yeah, it was a thoroughly enjoying test, almost the perfect balance of bat and ball. In a tight one-day series I managed to sneak a 3-2 victory. I'm a little worried about NZ seeing as this was against Bangladesh.

        Just to clarify in case anyone is wondering. First year Zimbabwe tests are one-off match, beyond that 2-match series same as Bangladesh.

          Zimbabwe are a decent limited overs team in this game. I managed to make the final of the World T20 with them before i was annihilated by South Africa.

            the ratings of the teams are so strange and they should change in different formats i.e. ENgland are a better test team than ODI And teams like bangladesh are much more closer to the likes of West Indies and New zealand in the shorter game.

              Since most players are the same playing in both ODI and Test,it will not be great idea to differentiate the ratings.

                How can you say that? It's only a matter of time until a country has no Test players in their T20I team! Australia could possibly validly do it right now!

                However, I believe that they already differentiate the ratings (somehow! ), so that's not something I complain about.

                  The one team doing will not change everything for cricketing world.Many teams tried to implement policy of different teams for different formats and it failed.

                    Ummmm, Australia was one of the first teams (if not the first) to have different teams and captains for the ODI and Test formats (ie, specialist players for each format), and took them to number 1 in each format...

                      I had this in my first Zimbabwe game. I couldn't believe it. I was batting for the draw throughout my second innings. My tail hung in through the afternoon and almost made it to tea and I was a little nervous Bangladesh might try and chase it. Then they started losing wickets. I brought on my first change seamers and spinner and they finished them off. Good job aswell, they were probably getting the runs quick enough to win.
