15. Here's an attempt at a question from my side.

List all the cricketers who were born in Zimbabwe but have played Test cricket for another country, making their debut after Zimbabwe got independence.

I'm not sure if I know the full list, but this could help get the list updated appropriately if I don't know all of them. Like Jemisi, I'll award half a point to the one who adds everyone in the list I have minus 1, and half to the one who adds the remaining name, if it happens that way. Of course, a full point is awarded if everyone is listed in the same answer.

That's exactly the list I have, so here's the one point added.

CrimsonAvenger: 5.5
foreignfield : 5
rusty17 : 2
MidWest Rhinos, eugene : 1
cricket_22001 : 0.5


16. And true to Jemisi's spirit, here goes the next question. Much easier. Name all the Zimbabwean test players born outside Zimbabwe. Same rule of 0.5 and 1 point apply.

I think foreignfield's list is definitive. Kind of surprising we even had a few more over the years, there must be a number of South Africans with Zimbabwean connections out there who might have considered playing for us in the 90s at least.
Neil Johnson, Alistair Campbell, Murray Goodwin, Andy Flower (w), Grant Flower, Dave Houghton, Guy Whittall, Heath Streak (c), Andy Blignaut, Ray Price, Eddo Brandes
