Zimbabwe did well to put up a fight today, they looked to be giving
up again earlier but made a game of it, well done to them
As for Nasser's boys, 3 on the trot and running, doing well down
here in Zimbabwe
This very young side is looking to be coming off rather nicely,
although they have been helped by an all too obliging Zimbabwe
side
The series is concluded, with the two remaining games purely
academic
