Two three-match home series were arranged, against Sri Lanka and Pakistan, and Harare Sports Club became the first ground in history to stage four Test matches during a single season. There were strong hopes that during the season Zimbabwe would record its first-ever Test victory, but the victims were expected to be the weak Sri Lankan team rather than the powerful Pakistanis. Zimbabwe were also invited to participate in the World Series Cup in Australia, where they gained experience but little success.

This season the nucleus of the Zimbabwean team for the rest of the century started to come together. With the exception of Dave Houghton and Eddo Brandes (the latter missing through injury for most of the season anyway), the experienced players were either retiring or fading out of the game through their inability to take part in time-consuming international cricket as well as hold down full-time jobs. There was a promising group of young players coming through, but naturally they were as yet inexperienced.

Heath Streak, who had performed with great credit in Pakistan the season before at the age of 19, broke through with some superb bowling performances which by the season's close had propelled him to fourth place worldwide in the leading international ratings for bowlers in Test cricket. His 35 wickets in the six Tests was a reamrkable feat. Bryan Strang, left-arm medium-fast, had a superb debut season in which he took 51 wickets and also broke through into Test cricket. His elder brother Paul had already made his Test debut as a leg-spinner who was a determined batsman and brilliant fielder.

But perhaps the most significant occurrence, with the long-term future in mind, was the emergence of Zimbabwe's first black Test player, Henry Olonga. At the age of 18, he had had little first-class experience but had the potential to bowl genuine pace. Born in Zambia with a Kenyan father and Zimbabwean mother, his citizenship was hurried through just in time for the First Test against Pakistan, which most appropriately became Zimbabwe's maiden Test match victory. There were inevitable accusations of window-dressing from some, but coach John Hampshire was one of those most impressed by his potential.

Widely talented in many areas, Olonga was a fine role model for the young, but he had a defect in his bowling action which was to mar his debut match. He had already been no-balled for throwing in the first-class match against the Pakistanis immediately before the First Test, and in view of that it was perhaps unwise to select him until the problem had been rectified. He took a wicket in his first over, but was later no-balled and then forced to retire from the match with a side strain.

He was omitted from the next two Tests, the official reason of injury being denied by the player, so the omission was probably as a result of the throwing problem and also the availability of Bryan Strang, at that stage a better bowler. He later had his action rectified, mainly through coaching by Dennis Lillee, and it has never been a problem since then.

First, though, came the series against Sri Lanka. Zimbabwe were confident of winning against what was at that time weak opposition, but were denied victory through several factors. The pitches proved too good for two teams short of top-class bowlers, and the Sri Lankans appeared to have adopted the policy to avoid defeat at all costs. This was evident on the first day of the series, when they ground their way to 157 for one.

Even so, Zimbabwe had a good chance of victory at the Second Test in Bulawayo. This was the inaugural Test at the Queens Sports Club, the old Currie Cup venue, which had taken over from Bulawayo Athletic Club where the facilities were quite inadequate for Test cricket. The Queens ground appeared almost derelict at this time, but in the next few years a great deal of hard work and money restored it to its former glories.

After a magnificent innings of 266 from Dave Houghton, good Zimbabwean bowling and poor Sri Lankan batting enabled Zimbabwe to reduce them to 96 for six, when bad light and rain intervened on the third day. This interference by the weather may well have robbed Zimbabwe of victory, for it enabled Sri Lanka to regroup on the final two days and save the match, despite being forced to follow on. A result was never likely on a flat pitch in the Third Test.

A close one-day series followed, with Sri Lanka gaining a 2-1 victory probably due to their greater experience. The side batting first won in each match. Sri Lanka owed much to some fine batting from Aravinda de Silva, who scored 239 runs for once out after looking completely out of touch and confidence in the Tests.

This series was played without any contribution from the experienced Eddo Brandes, who was suffering from a niggling injury. He would probably have missed the Australian tour for the World Series Cup as well had he not turned in a magnificent match double of 165 runs and nine wickets for the Zimbabwe Board XI against Griqualand West at the last moment. However, once in Australia he broke down again after playing in only one match, and many thought his career was over.

In view of the expected lack of drawing power of the Zimbabweans, the Australian authorities included a fourth team besides England, Australia A. The innovation was not a success and was not repeated; Australia A actually beat Zimbabwe twice and England once, and won through to the finals against their own senior side. Matches played by Australia A were not considered to be official one-day internationals.

Zimbabwe also lost both matches against Australia and one against England to finish bottom of the table. Their main weakness was their batting where only the flower brothers, opening the innings and impressing the locals by their superb running between the wickets, performed to standard. But the team's highest total of 205 in six matches was rarely going to be adequate, although it did prove to be so in their first match against England, where they repeated their World Cup triumph of three years earlier by bowling England out 13 runs short. This was really their only memorable match of the tour.

They returned home chastened to play Pakistan, with little hope of victory despite Pakistan's just having lost a one-off Test heavily to South Africa. The Pakistanis, though, were without injured pace bowler Waqar Younis and with a disunited team whose differences were soon to be exposed with accusations of bribery and match-fixing, and the captain Saleem Malik said to be heavily involved. The sheer size of Zimbabwe's victory in the First Test, though, made it clear that this was a win on merit.

Pitches in this series were, on ZCU instructions, prepared to ensure results. Zimbabwe, batting first on the first morning of the series, were soon in deep trouble at 42 for three, with the Pakistani pace bowlers doing virtually everything but make the ball talk. Those who suspect that Pakistan were bribed to lose this match did not see the play on the first morning. Andy Flower began to seize the initiative for Zimbabwe with some fine well-judged aggressive strokes, while his brother Grant concentrated on survival.

Their policy worked, and as the pitch eased they put together 269, a new record partnership by brothers in Tests, beating that of 264 by Ian and Greg Chappell for Australia against New Zealand in 1993/94. When Andy was finally out to a tired stroke, another double-century partnership ensued as Guy Whittall reached his maiden Test century and Grant continued to pass 200 before Andy declared on Zimbabwe's record Test score of 544 for four.

Pakistan put up a good fight in their first innings, with Streak bowling superbly and the catching brilliant. The return of Streak prevented Pakistan from avoiding the follow-on, and they batted with little heart in the second innings, with the exception of Inzamam-ul-Haq, who was destined virtually to win this series for Pakistan.

Pakistan soon put matters to right in Bulawayo, where the pitch favoured the bowlers so much that the match was over in three days and Mark Dekker and Dave Houghton both broke fingers. There was also much unpleasantness on the field, instigated by the Pakistanis who indulged in a great deal of ‘sledging' as they were desperate to regain their lost pride.

Zimbabwe would have won the Third Test in Harare were it not for a superb match double of 101 and 83 from Inzamam. Even so, Zimbabwe's target was only 239, but nerves and inexperience got the better of them.

The one-day series was drawn, and it was clear that the bribery scandal was affecting the Pakistanis' performances. Zimbabwe fought back well in the first match to take the last four Pakistani wickets for 10 runs and ensure a tie, and looked like winning the second before another superb century by Inzamam, aided by Ijaz Ahmed, snatched the match from their grasp. They made no mistake in the final match, though, when the Pakistanis were clearly dispirited and put up little fight. Without Inzamam, Zimbabwe would almost certainly have won both the Test and the one-day series.

Despite the effect the distractions had on the Pakistanis, it was felt in Zimbabwe that a major breakthrough had been made and that the team would be inspired with the confidence to win more regularly in future. Unfortunately it was to be several seasons of frustration and a great deal of ill luck before that potential really began to be realised.

The prevailing lack of depth in Zimbabwean cricket was emphasised during a tour by a strong South Africa A team early in the season. The highly efficient and motivated tourists overwhelmed all opposition in the six matches they played, including an innings victory in the match against Zimbabwe A, which contained several Test players.

One major achievement by South Africa A players was the creation of a new South African ninth-wicket record, and the second-best in cricket history. Paul Strang's leg-spinners had caused a middle-order collapse in the Mashonaland match, but John Commins and Nicky Boje added 268 together, leading to an innings victory. Their hardest match was against a Matabeleland Select team, when they rested their front-line pace bowlers and only just won in time. Home captain Wayne James became only the second player for a Rhodesian/Zimbabwean team to score two centuries in the same match.

The Logan Cup competition also emphasised how Harare was tending to monopolise the country's talent, as the two Mashonaland teams dominated the competition and played out the final, in which Mashonaland beat Mashonaland A by 165 runs. All the teams found it impossible at times to play full-strength sides; many leading players below Test level were unable or unwilling to make themselves available for the competition.

This year all matches produced positive results, except for the league match between the two Mashonaland sides which was abandoned without a ball being bowled owing to a waterlogged outfield. There was no need to consider a replay, as the two teams topped the log without it. Many of the matches were again played without the degree of ‘edge' desirable in such an important competition, and in many matches the batsmen did not appear to apply themselves until the second innings.

In the UCBSA Bowl competition the Zimbabwe Board XI finished fourth out of the six teams in its group, winning one, losing one and drawing three matches, more draws than any of the others. They began well with an innings victory over Griqualand West, thanks largely to Brandes' remarkable all-round performance, but the bowlers failed to finish off the weakest team, Western Transvaal, and they were unable to take advantage of a superior position against Natal B. Then came a fairly dismal performance resulting in a loss at home against Northern Transvaal B, and finally an even match against Western Province B was drawn.

Better form was shown at the end of the season against two visiting counties, Northamptonshire and Glamorgan, who were both beaten. Northamptonshire had dominated their match against a Mashonaland team until the final innings, when suddenly the home side's batsmen came to life and made easy work of the 417 needed for victory, the highest target ever chased successfully in the country's first-class history.

In a season containing a record number of first-class matches, Grant Flower set up a new record with 983 runs at an average of 57.82. Altogether 23 batsmen scored more than 200 runs; others with more than 500 were Andy Flower (768 at 59.07), Guy Whittall (762 at 42.33), Dave Houghton (627 at 62.70), Glen Bruk-Jackson (532 at 38.00) and Wayne James (510 at 42.50).

Bryan Strang in his debut season took most wickets, 51 at 22.43. Also taking more than 30 were Heath Streak (49 at 19.77), Malcolm Jarvis who also enjoyed a successful return to international cricket before retiring (44 at 25.40), Paul Strang (40 at 29.42) and Guy Whittall (35 at 29.51). Strang, together with Olonga and Darlington Matambanadzo, attended the pace bowling academy at Madras to receive coaching from Dennis Lillee.
