I thought I remembered the odd spell where Jarvis reversed the ball, and a search in the forums throws up quite a few comments from the NZ Test match in 2011 where he got a 5-fer in the second innings.
Vitori is mentioned occasionally and Conant, I think, threw in the name of Dougie Hondo in some Test against BD.

At 70mph, so wasn't very effective. But yea, he had good control
Keegan Meth swung the ball a yard also at 70 mph. The BD boys couldn't put him away.

Was Bryan Strang not our only genuine mover of the ball?
I remember some series where Olonga got some good movement.
Didn't Bryan rely more on seam movement like Streak? That's what I can gather from memory, but could be wrong.
Yes, definitely remember Olonga reverse swinging prodigiously at some point.

John Rennie used to swing the ball a lot.
Yeah John Rennie relied a lot on conventional swing, so did Keegan meth - Rennie was probably slightly faster than Meth.
Vitori was the only one in recent times who swung both conventionally and reverse I guess.

Yeah, remember that. Probably that was a one off instance though.
By the way, when it comes to conventional swing upfront, Eddie Rainsford was really really good on his day. At decent pace too. Our own Tim Southee you could say. If not for those injuries...

Yeah, Rainsford was probably the best outswing bowler from Zimbabwe!

Cricinfo had BCCI's home schedule in the next FTP out and ZIM are touring in March 2020 for 3 T20Is and again in March 2021 for 3 ODIs which are probably part of the ODI league.

Yeah looks like they've pushed back the T20 series in India by a year which makes sense if the rumour of India touring here early next year is true.

Bangladesh manager Khaled Mahmud says Zimbabwe will be touring Bangladesh at the end of this year or early next year. He mentioned it with the Windies who are touring in October-November, so my guess is ZIM will be touring in Jan 2019. Hope there will be a couple of Tests since our Test series in Australia has been cancelled.

A little more clarity here. January 2019 for the ZIM tour of BD. I wonder if its going to be 3 Tests or 2??
