So this was the final team. It seems so heavily weighted on players from the 99 world cup! I have a article by David Lewis from 1997 who was asked to pick his post-war best zimbabwean XI with one condition (he had to be in the team as captain)

a lot of the above players played for south africa...but were through and through rhodesian!
notable omissions - andy flower, kevin arnott etc
surely the team needs updating...
the team selected by the world A-team cricket forum seems very short on quick bowlers of quality...surely partridge should gain selection over ervine or brandes....ray price over strang |
