I'm not even going to comment on today's match, other than to say it was the poorest performance so far of a poor series. The full scorecard can be found below the cut.
Zimbabwe 146 (47.2 overs; Chigumbura 32, Dabengwa 32, Mortaza 3/14), Bangladesh 147/2 (32.2 overs; Aftab Ahmed 58*, Brent 2/25). Bangladesh win by 8 wickets, lead series 4-0 with 1 to play.

Hi there! Please relax & try to face the reality on the ground.I would be very disappointed to learn that YOU of all right thinking people had believed Mr. Curran when he said that his current team was the 'best' ZIM has had over the years based on stats from where only him knows.Bagladesh did confess that they had played their worst cricket in a very long time during that series, something which ZIM can't claim now, as they are on an indefinite losing streak.Can you imagine he went on to claim that his batch of school boys were 'a better team' compared to the Tigers!
These results only go on to show just how much ZIM cricket has 'developed' in the recent times as Mr.Bvute & Chingoka claim & I won't be surprised to see more of these unless some drastic measures are taken urgently, like...
Something to put a smile on ZIM's supporters' faces is that TAIBU is doing GREAT in the SAA PROVINCIAL CUP. Please update us on Sibanda who is also reportedly doing fine in Australia.
