Dion came out well from a traumatic debut against the Sri Lankan tourists, when the inaugural Academy team was dismissed for 44 in the second innings, then the record lowest total by any Zimbabwean team. He was the only batsman to reach double figures in both innings. Although he lived in Harare, at the end of the 1999 calendar year, he was posted to coach and play in Matabeleland.

Dion returned to Harare for this season and was selected for the Mashonaland A Logan Cup side. At the selectors' request he started opening the batting in mid-season, and although he did not really enjoy this position it proved to be his opening into the Test team.

Dion again found Sri Lankan pitches difficult, and after failures in the oneday tournament preceding the Test series he was omitted from the first two Tests.

Dion looked set for a Test century, which would also have been his first in first-class cricket, when he was the victim of a dubious lbw decision.
