We back for good, Zim can only get better. It is one test at a time, i am excited, we not much worse than the teams we playing, but we just need game time and consistency.

Bennett is overrated, I wouldn't worry about him too much. Can be dangerous when he gets it right, but when his rhythm was off during the Pakistan series, he just bowled wayward stuff in the mid 120s...
Bennett is a very exciting prospect...
He's quick, he can extract great bounce from a dead wicket, and his action seems to be making it uneasy for the batting side. He ripped through Kenya like ripping a piece of paper. Although he's not Shane Bond material (yet ;) ) I reckon he's got a huge career ahead of him as a strike bowler for New Zealand

The Zimbabwean batsmen tend to be like deer in the headlights when they face a bowler of pace or someone with a somewhat unorthodox action.
