I see you've made the new Zimbabwe players. Do you want to release them so other people can use them?

Yeah I had made them long back. (Refer my old tour - Englands Tour of NZ/Zim) They do have the new Zimbabwean players, but they are not based on your latest roster update file.

ENGLAND THRASH ZIMBABWE, CREATE HISTORY

England's 315 run win over Zimbabwe in the 1st ODI of the Nissan ODI Series, is the biggest win recorded in the history of ODIs in terms of margin. This win surpasses the previous best record of 256 runs, held by Australia against Namibia in the 2003 World Cup.

England captain Michael Vaughan praised his team's spirit and unity.

"We played as a team, and won as a team. There is a strong bonding in the team, that enables us to perform as a unit, which I think is great.", said the England captain.

England will play 4 more ODIs against Zimbabwe, before heading for South Africa.

Biggest victories in ODIs:
1. 315 - ENG vs Zim at Harare - 26 Oct 2004
2. 256 - AUS vs Nam at Potchefstroom - 27 Feb 2003
3. 245 - SL vs Ind at Sharjah - 29 Oct 2000
4. 233 - PAK vs Bang at Dhaka - 2 Jun 2000
5. 232 - AUS vs SL at Adelaide - 28 Jan 1985
