This indicates that we've been playing "well" on really flat batting tracks whereas Zimbabwe have played on far more sporting wickets at home, in NZ (seam friendly), and WI (spin friendly). Based on these numbers, the series should be closer than most of us expect, which is disappointing and scary at the same time!

Great analysis ... And we will have tougher time than SL.... My expectations will be based on seeing their performances on the ground and how they will adopt on sporting or Seam wkt. It seems that it will come down our batsmen strength on these wkts and how are spinners adjust to it
