So when was the last time we featured in the final of a tri-series that didn't included an Associate side?
Must be Sharjah, same 3 sides, SL was beaten black and blue by both Zim and India, Ranatunga resigned and retired soon after. Zim even beat India once, but faltered in the finals
The Olonga magic....and i was at the receiving end in the finals. I was allowed to sit in the middle of TV room of my hostel and every1 was hurling comments as he was being hit by Tendlia

This is great news that Zimbabwe are in the final. It's also handy that the next match is a dead rubber... if we lose the toss and bat first, we'll get some experience of the morning conditions which has seemed to trouble sides (and if we do badly, we'll know what to improve on). If we win the toss and bat second, then hopefully we can continue our good form heading into the final.
India have played very badly this tournament, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe deserved to progress. At times it felt a bit like the ICC World Twenty20 a few years ago where England and Zimbabwe were the two in-form teams, but Australia still progressed due to a lucky win over England. Fortunately this time around the two best teams made it through.
