Zim 'A' Tour of Bangladesh June 2026

[zimbot]

Not relevant to the thread, but I have always wondered if Greek Zimbos get along with the Anglos.

The Anglos and Afrikaaners have been at each other's throats in the past, but their political views align for the most part.

It seems the Greeks have a different way of thinking from the other groups of white Zimbabweans. Quite a number of Greeks seem to lean left. There's that Haritatos guy who is a minister in Mnangagwa's government. Then there is Brian Raftopoulos, Alex Callinicos, Helen Lieros etc. Safe to say Adam Theofellatio is a lefty as well.

Probably unwise to paint an entire group based on these examples. I can't help but conclude that the Greeks may be white, but they have their own way of doing things that is different from the Anglos and Afrikaaners.
.
Just my observation.

Zanu PF have always liked the Greeks, and vice versa. Mugabe once called the Greeks ‘native’/indigenous somehow, and suggested they be treated differently from Brit/Afrikaner whites.

There were quite a lot in Kadoma/Kwekwe/Gweru decades ago but basically none at all anymore. Probably only a couple of hundred actual Greeks left in the country.

They are almost all exceptionally wealthy. Hellenic pretty much the best school in the country at the moment.

Matthew Campbell looks good against spin

Anyone know anything about bangladesh - is this their genuine A team? They seem to be called 'Emerging' so I assume it's an academy or C team.

I would say fairly string

Zakir Hasan, Shahadat Hossain Dipu, Yasir Ali, Khaled Ahmed, Jaker Ali Anik, Rakibul Hasan have all played international cricket.

I watched most of the batting.

Inno looked good until he didnt.
Matt looked very comfortable.
Antum and Roy got themselves bogged down too much.
Maru i dont think is a number three.

Wes looked good the whole innings. I'm glad he didnt run out of partners and got his 100
