Good to see Zim get a feature on the Lords channel, not the greatest result but still nice to see some high quality footage of some players I personally haven't seen heaps of. Worth a flick through

Can anybody shed some light on where this game was being played?

It says Tengwe Country Club in Mashonaland, was run by tobacco farmers I think.

Even a book written by someone who lived in Tengwe: https://www.amazon.com/Tengwe-Garden-Cl ... 0615200737

That wasn't easy to watch 😢

Seeing Streak, Ervine, Flower and Blignaught all in the same side, with Greig and Lawry commentating. That was my childhood in a nutshell right there.

So much hadn't happened by this point and so much s**t was about to hit the fan

That series was really the last hurrah for the classic Zimbabwean side.

It's on again today and tomorrow if you missed it

Also I found some extended highlights of the 2nd ODI v Pakistan in 2002. Andy Flower got a good ball. Not many positives other than Sean Ervine and Taibu at the end. Very strong Pakistan side.

What a haul from Olonga and a knock from Johnson. The fielding is unreal and the kit is a beauty
