Antum may not find playing for Zimbabwe as appealing as it was an year ago. Things have changed drastically for ZC in the last one year approx. I won't be surprised if Antum has given up, I never really wanted to bank on him unless he actually becomes legally eligible.

Coming to the Bangladesh series, if you compare man to man, Zimbabwe are probably are edging ahead yet they looked miles behind in the first T20I, it's probably all in the mind. Bangladesh have a lot of younger players, experience wise Zimbabwe should be giving them a tough time.

Coming to the coach part, I'm absolutely sure not many high profile coaches would have shown interest otherwise we would have heard at least something, Houghton is their best bet.

Their seamers bowled a helluva lot better than ours. Some fantastic yorkers and more pace.
We have a much vaunted opening combo of Blessing and Richie, but in international terms they're military medium, neither land their yorkers that consistently either.
Theyre still good, don't get me wrong, but there are so many good guys out there.

He'll get away with an investment visa so long as he shows face every season, I reckon.
He looks a bit awkward when he bats sometimes, pushes his leading knee out a bit and leaves a gap there, surprised he hasn't taken a few more groin shots actually, he is a good player though.
