that is very impressive. and done mostly against top 8 sides.

and certainly vastly superior to our batting.

however, the interesting thing is that ZIM won only 2 of those matches in that period, one of them against kenya, the other against near-minnow west indies. this indicates that their batting was done either on really flat tracks or their bowling really sucked. my guess is their bowling let them down.

regardless, i am very surprised and disappointed at the batting stats between zimbabwe and bangladesh. at the same time, i guess it means that zimbabwe are not as poor as they seem. they scored 295 against SA and 274 against WI (this one they won).

it might make our losses to zimbabwe slightly more palatable in that light. they also made SL sweat 3 times on the trot, and they just thrashed pakistan.
