[Cricket] England vs Zimbabwe, One Off Test at Trent Bridge, Nottingham, May 22nd-26th 2025

The people moaning about this test being a waste of time presumably switched off and missed Bennett’s century.

Personally think this is good for the game. More tests against the strongest teams (and England, arf) will help Zimbabwe improve and, in time, get somewhere closer to the team they used to be.

Exactly. England can’t spend their entire time playing Australia and India, because test cricket won’t last five minutes if they do that.

England could tour Zimbabwe before 2031

England will receive an offer to tour Zimbabwe before 2031, with a new ground near Victoria Falls earmarked as a potential venue.

Sounds like a good trip! I went to Victoria Falls in 1994 and bizarrely bumped into, and had a picture with, Timothy Spall who was filming there! Also went on the scariest small plane ride of my life over (and ‘into’) the Falls, breathtaking for the bits I had my eyes open at least!
