Which has been Zimbabwe's best Test win since returning?

Surely it has to be the match against Pakistan ? Considering we'd just lost Kyle Jarvis, Graeme Cremer and Craig Ervine, along side the spin of Price. We were up against the wall and our trio of fast bowlers bowled incredibly. Raza came in for his debut and played an unbelievable innings, considering he was facing the best spinner in the world in Ajmal!
For me, that was without doubt the best victory since we've returned, simply because of the situation we found ourselves in, both financially and in terms of the players

Pakistan is the clear choice. Test wins against any of the big boys have been hard to come by at any point in our history, let alone recently.

Has to be the Pakistan win for many reasons the fact we were massive underdogs the fact it was a high quality match and very close plus all the players leaving and drama surrounding the team at the time made it very special .....
We also came close to beating NZ in 2011 that would have been a great victory it's a shame the boys got a bit nervous towards the end .....

Not only is the win against Pakistan our best since the return, it is on the short list for our best altogether.

I just had to show some love for the 2011 Bangladesh game. To win so comprehensively (batting, bowling, fielding were all first rate) after so long in the wilderness was an incredible effort. One of the rare examples in cricket of everything just coming together perfectly at exactly the right time.
