What a Test Match

After a debacle in Bulawayo, we will be looking forward to a much better show in the up coming Test which starts today at Harare Sports Club

Well it's me again, writing from the bustling city of Bulawayo

As most of you probably have gathered, our participation in the Coca-Cola triangular tournament is now at an end

After winning the toss in the First Test and deciding to bat, we needed to bat well as it was a very good wicket, and a poor start would put us on the back foot straight away

Well the time has come for us to get stuck into our winter programme

The dust has long settled on the Bangladesh Tour, and I have had the opportunity to take a 10 day break with my family on the Natal coast in South Africa

As all cricket followers expected, and as we needed to do, we beat Bangladesh convincingly, 3-0 in the recently concluded one-day series

After a long lay-off - from writing that is - I am back to take you through our winter of cricket

We've finally managed to win our first one day series away from home, which feels really good, and the manner in which we did it was superb

Well I guess that I should start with Happy New Year to everyone and hope you all had a very good Christmas and an even better New Year's party

India was a great experience: Well our Indian sojourn is over, and in sitting here I'm my hotel room overlooking the beautiful town of Christchurch

In my last report, at the beginning of the one-day series, I alluded to the fact that playing in India is like a cauldron and wondered whether we would be up to taking the heat

We are a better one day unit than a test unit : We lost the Test series 1 - 0 but apart from the result there were some very positive things gained

It has been a very hectic week since my last report with an eventful Test match and a visit to the Taj Mahal
