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.

Re: Canada vow to beat Zimbabwe!!!!!
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.
A talented batsman but a modest, hardworking character, Stuart Matsikenyeri is the third of three school friends from Churchill Boys High School, Harare to represent Zimbabwe in international cricket. - Cricinfo.
