Hey there Leverocks and welcome to the story forum. Its pleasant to see a story with some of the lesser used teams.

Best of luck with this story.

Ah Zimbabwe. I've tried playing with them. It's a long, hard toil. Get used to losing virtually every series you play. The only team you'll beat in Tests is Bangladesh, a drawn series is a good result. In ODIs you stand a good chance (I took Zimbabwe to the finals of the 2007 WC in ICC 05, but lost), but you'll have to get used to frequent batting collapses and horrible bowling efforts.


All in all, it isn't a rewarding experience, and will make you feel like quitting. But that's what makes it the ultimate challenge...

Good luck!

This.

Did a story with Zimbabwe and lost almost every match. Takes real balls this does!

Let's hope, for everyones sake, that you do very well, and be competitive in these series. Because more likely then not, you'll loose with such a lower class side.

I did quite well with Zimbabwe, it was a tough start but I soon developed some good players and by 2012 we knocked over South Africa 1-0 in the test series which was a big highlight for me. We posted 400 in the first innings of the first test so it proves that Zimbabwe does have depth, it just takes a while to show.
