I guess if John Davison cuts loose anything is possible.

Dream on Canada, you've never beaten us, even in 2006 when we had possibly the poorest side, we still amassed 300 twice in an ODI series. They've not got a chance !

Bwahahahaha!!

...uh, no. Even with John Davison. As Sloandog says, Canada have never even come close in ODIs - and last time we played, they were stronger and we were weaker.

I say that, though, but remember Uganda. The guys need to take them seriously and deal with them seriously. No complacency allowed.

Kenya and Zim are realistic targets for Canada considering we they are two of the weakest teams in the group. I dont think Canada can beat us, or get anyway close to that because they just cant play spin. Zim will be a lot tougher to beat in the sub-continent were there are slower wickets than if we had been playing in Europe or Africa.

He is pretty past it now.

Canada had a good Twenty20 in the Caribbean but Zimbabwe are a far better side than when we last played canada.
