This is a very interesting article on cricinfo:
Firdose Moonda: What now for Zimbabwe? | Cricinfo Magazine | ESPN Cricinfo
Read it if you have the time, it's a must for any cricket fan, especially those from Zimbabwe. I don't think enough has been said about Zimbabwe's excellent test win against a decent Pakistan side, not exactly the side that obliterated England or gave SA some tough moments but close enough. They should be given more credit, especially for a team which has suffered so much from financial, political and economic matters.
It's sad that Zimbabwe have to wait so long for test series' and that very few countries even tour there. I remember watching Zimbabwe in the late 90s and early 00s, they were always a resourceful team and seemed to be on the up. Obviously stupid decisions made within Zimbabwe by those in power cost them years of growth but they are a great prospect, a team that needs to be nurtured, not just from within but from without too.
I'd like to see more tours of Zimbabwe and more support of this fledgling nation, what do you guys think?
