It's not like we have a home crowd advantage greg. We get maximum 1000 people to a game.

Last year we also lost just 3-2 to Bangladesh in Bangladesh, another decent result. If the players defect in the future, then so it is. But I'm happy maintaining the status quo for now.

Ok- Zimbabwe notoriously take time to get adjusted to tournaments, normally about 3 or 4 games are needed. Case in point- VB Series 2003-04 where, by the end, we came close to beating India and Australia.

Zimbabwe have run many teams close in ODI's recently as well. Take some humble pie greg!!! There isn't much difference- if any- between Bangladesh and Zimbabwe.
