Agreed...admittedly I belonged to that camp as recently as the beginning of the second test. Even though our team has has shown glimpses of improvement of late, there's no way in the world we would've been able to pull off what Zim just did. What separates Zim from us is they've been able to compete against a top 8 team at a very high level two test matches in a row. Our reservoir of inspiration tends to run dry after one good fight, or we generally compete well when the series is lost.
