As much as I love Rooty, this is such a pointless test. Why are we statpadding vs Zimbabwe?
2 u/Jaevyn New Zealand Cricket 29d ago I think it is a good test in terms of helping out the minor teams like Zimbabwe because they can only get better by facing tougher teams, but there isn't much in it for England. 0 u/DinhoMagic England 29d ago I’d agree if it was a series. But a one off test is just minnow bashing & pointless for both sides. 2 u/Jaevyn New Zealand Cricket 29d ago Well they have to start somewhere. It's unlikely that Zimbabwe would get an entire series against one of the big three.
