A full strength Zimbabwe would probably be stronger than us in Tests and on par or slightly weaker than us in ODIs. They'd win Tests, 2-0 against at home and by large margins. They'd probably draw 1-1 in Bangladesh. ODIs they'd win 3-2 in ZIM, and we'd probably win by the same margin at home. But I can't see us dominating, except for one-offs, in any conditions, a side consisting of:
Sibanda << Tamim
Mawoyo >> whoever
S Ervine > Anamul
Taylor >>> Mominul
Ballance < Shakib
Taibu < Mushfiq
Williams < Nasir
Cremer < Gazi
S Masakadza < Robiul
Jarvis >> Nazmul
whoever > whoever
OK so it looks pretty even, with just a 2+ slight edge in arrows to ZIM. But we know in a head to head Tamim will make more fat statements to the mics than he will score runs, so it becomes a 4+ advantage to ZIM. Notice that ZIM could finally get rid of overhyped wastes like Hamilton and Chigumbura.
