He scored a ton in the U19 World Cup of 2002 against Nepal.

Thanks! Great to watch. Nice to see there were quite a few kids there, liked the interview with the potion-maker and the rapper, though I couldn't understand what he was rapping about...

I write the odd article for cricketweb- its a very good general cricket site, the forum is excellent- although I prefer this one to talk about Zim because there, I'm the only regular "Zim...
