The answers will be posted on Sunday, August 16, 2009 by 10 p.m.(EST)

Pretty easy leading questions. Just a lil time on cricinfo will reveal all. It would have been better if you ask some treaky questions..i mean not the usual stuff-highest, lowest, first, max, lowest..etc

Thanks for your inputs and suggestions.

If you take a close look their is only one question on Highest and Lowest and very relevant in the context of BD VS Zimbabwe One dayers.

I put the first three easy questions to get the ball rolling and the last two specific ones which will not be easy unless one remembers or researches on the Internet.

This being the first one I deliberately made it simple so that readers are not put off with difficult ones.

I am not sure of the level of interest and passion of Zimbabwean cricket fans with regards to facts and figures.

So I thought it would be best to have a conservative start.

Once their is participation or satisfactory responses questions can be gradually made difficult or tricky.

If you are a keen lover of Cricket Quizzes I have posted tons of them in another forum called PlanetCricket forums. Just type Quiz in their search tool and you will find aplenty.

Those are of course of International flavor.

I have also posted Exclusive ones on Sir Vivian Richards and Sachin Tendulkar - pretty comprehensive ones.

So far no responses. Maybe because of shyness or taking time to dig out the answers which is understandable.

I will have a good idea by Saturday.

So Lets wait and see what happens.

Who is going to break the ice?

b)What was the result?

It was Tri-nation President's Cup, Narobi Gymkhana, 1997 where Zim hammered Ken and Bang in all of the matches. A.Flower was the player of the series and Crimson's favourite Whittall too cracked few 50's.
Zim won this by 48 runs courtesy flowery opening partnership of 150+.

b)What is Bangladesh’s Highest and Lowest One Day Score against Zimbabwe?

3a- 310/6 Dhaka ’99. Incidentally Zim has scored 300plus 4 times.
3b- 130 is their lowest at Jaipur, ICC trophy. That was perhaps Utseya’s 1st mt as capt where he forgot to tell the name of 2 other players inducted in playing XI at toss. Just like what Shakeeb did in 1st ODI here

Last mt where they scored 320/8 for the first ever time.
Lowest- 92 at Nairobi ’97 where Bryan Strang produced sensational spell of 6/20

Well, its pretty fresh in everybody's memory. Priceless Price’s 4/22 rattled hosts in that ODI

Mehrab Hossain 101 at Dhaka “99.

Additional Info
Zimbabweans cracking tons against Bang-

First Century- Alistair Campbell 103 in 2000/01. And funny thing is all Bangladeshi players scored exactly 103 in total.

Second- "Gobby" Flower cracked unbeaten 142*. Ashraful made his debut in this one. I think this series was named "Independence Cup" Not sure though.

Third one- D. Ebrahim 121. No bowler troubled him and hence he ran himself out in this day-nighter

And here's the new centuriòn- Hamilton Masakadza unbeaten 100* and still batting in third ODI
