Spot the former Pakistani captain? :p

I expect this to be another destruction of Zimbabwe. It is interesting that such South African mainstays as Ashwell Prince and Andre Nel are playing but, who am I to argue with South African selection policies.

Yes, it seems a total waste of Nel's, Prince's and Hall's et als time to me. What are they gonna learn from such a tour?

How to celebrate in style?

Seriously, why are Zimbabwe even trying to improve there current standards by playing an A side, albeit a very strong A side. I mean, we have Australia not playing, NZ and a few other teams, West Indies another, why can they take a short 2 test match tour say? It'll help more than people believe im sure.
