Zimbabwe cricket looking up a bit
Great to see some positives in Zimbabwe cricket for once - largely inspired by the return of Tatenda Taibu as their one candidate for a world XI. Good luck to their new coach Robin Brown, who has been newly installed in the role, replacing Kevin Curran.
I'm not sure I'd take things as far as Ray Mali though who is suggesting that Zimbabwe can become the world's number 1 ODI team! They competed well against South Africa in their recent series, but never really looked like winning any of the three games, so they should take the positives (eg. scoring over 200 in each match), and not get ahead of themselves.

Here's a good stat, hope you haven't heard it before!
Did you know that Taibu is the only man to do all of the following in a first-class game?
(a) Keep wicket for a whole innings;
(b) Score a hundred;
(c) Take 8-41 bowling
Check out this scorecard:

that's amazing! I knew that he bowled as well as kept but that's something special!
