Zimbots have just completed a successful tour of Bangladesh where they smashed them in the test by 130 runs and easily accounted for them in the ODI series going from 3-0 up to take the series 3-2 after resting players from the dead rubber.
Anyway, playing Pakistand now and doing really well so far, ly had one day completed. Some poor captaincy at the toss sent Zimbabawe into bat. I wouldn't expect Zimbabwe to do much against Pakistan (even though this is quite an inexperienced Pakistani outfit), but they are are actually doing quite well. 245/4 at stumps on day 1. Tino Mawoyo who opened carried his bat through the day and cricinfo tells me faced more than half the deliveries for his unbeaten 82 at stumps.
Zimbabwe currently have insufficient matches for a test ranking, but their rating should only improve for now and I think could be as high as 7th when they become eligible - they will start drop once they get the seventh ranking though, because they won't get so many points for beating rubbish teams.
