It also shows, once again, how far Zimbabwe have sunk. In truth they are barely the standard of a mid-ranking Associate.
So Cricinfo's stance on Zimbabwe is now official. Were they describing Australia's standard as barely that of low ranking full member when Zimbabwe beat them? Were they calling for West Indies full member status to be revoked when Zimbabwe comfortably beat them last year?
Newsflash to Cricinfo, Canada didn't win. Yes, Canada played like the better team (Zimbabwe played like the better team most of the time against Sri Lanka remember), yes, it should never have come down to a bowl out and yes, it was a very lucky "escape route" as they put it. But what the scorecard shows is that Zimbabwe won, and that was the expected result. End of story, no matter how they want to word it, Canada still lost.
