In 2007, ICC president Ray Mali claimed that Zimbabwe's young side could top the world rankings in 3 years having watched them put in some spirited performances against South Africa.

They return to the test area this year after a 6 year, self imposed absence.
This is my attempt to guide zim through this difficult process and to not lose every game ad I fear they will in reality! Perhaps one day they will become the world's best side!
My first game in charge is none other than the return to test cricket, a single test match against Bangladesh. We can't afford to lose this one, as we are currently ranked above b'desh in the test championship despite our long absence! I initially played on normal and suffered a crushing defeat by an inninngs and 213 runs. Realizing that this was the worst team I was going to face and not wanting to just play defeat after defeat, I chose easy mode to make us a bit more competitive...
