This week in Zimbabwe Cricket - Edition 1
ODI Series vs West Indies
After a promising start to the series by winning the twenty/20 match and taking out the first ODI in good fashion, Zimbabwe were unable to continue their momentum while the West Indies were able to get their act together after a poor start to the series and win four ODI matches in a row. While it was a poor result in the end for Zimbabwe, they did show good signs throughout the series and were able to maintain pressure on the Windies in the best part of the series.
The Standouts
Elton Chigumbura was Zimbabwe's leading run scorer in the series, scoring 148 runs at an average of 29 and also had reasonable succes with the ball picking up 6 wickets at an average of 24. It's not surprising to hear that he was able to earn himself a contract with Northamptonshireas he is a goodl all round talent.
