Bangladesh by a fair distance really. The difference between Bangladesh and the rest of the "minnows" is probably about equal to the distance between the Australian test team and the rest of the pack.

Zimbabwe.
The fact that teams have been playing and beating a Zimbabwe D team should not hide the fact that Zim could get 11 good cricketers on the field and be by far the best of this group.

TBH i reckon half the guys that are playing in the current Zimbabwe side would make a full strength side. Guys like Blignaut, Streak, Taibu and Ervine would make a pretty big difference, but i reckon the Bangladesh side would be able to match them. The likes of Flowers, Goodwin, Johnson etc probably would have retired or in Grant Flower and Johnsons cases been surpassed.
A possible full strength side: B Taylor, V Sibanda, C Chibhabha, T Taibu (wk), S Williams, E Chigumbura, S Ervine, H Streak, A Blignaut P Utseya, A Ireland I probably missed a few names, but it doesn't look like the greatest side in world. Bangladesh could match this side pretty easier and more often then not beat it.

My side would probably look more like this-
Taylor Masakadza Wishart Goodwin Rogers Taibu (wkt) Ervine Streak Friend Brent Price/Utseya Masakadza and Wishart are the more debatable selections and maybe I should have found a place for Andy Blignaut Hondo and Vermeulen are obviously ruled out due to their injury/illness issues. Young guys like Strydom, Rainsford, Coventry, Williams, Sibanda would provide depth for form issues and injuries and other guys like Gripper, Mahwire, Chibhabha and Cremer could be brought in if required for any reason. Looks a decent team to me with decent depth. |

If you take out Murray Goodwin from that side i would still say Bangladesh are better. Guys like Wishart, Friend, Rogers, Price aren't much better then the current lot, if better at all. They would have a bit more depth, but it would just be the same type of player replacing each other.
The reason why they were strong back in the late 90s is cus they had six or so world class players. Even at full strength they only got about 4. |
