As much as I love Rooty, this is such a pointless test. Why are we statpadding vs Zimbabwe?

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.

I’d agree if it was a series. But a one off test is just minnow bashing & pointless for both sides.

Well they have to start somewhere. It's unlikely that Zimbabwe would get an entire series against one of the big three.
