Golden Era of Zimbabwean Cricket.. N Johnson, M Goodwin, Flower Brothers, S Carlisle, A Campbell, Whittal Brothers, Champion Heath Streak, H Olonga.. Imagine current crop of ODI Teams having to face this Zimbabwe in SAF/Eng or even SL.. Those times all 9 Test Playing Nations could beat each other. Australia were way ahead of others.. but even they could be beaten. England were appalling though but still good enough at home
@@aniruddhaborkar4952 Whittalls are COUSINS but still brothers. Guy Whittall was my favorite still makes me nostalgic. I remember I was 12 when Zimbabwe team once played with 3 pair of brothers and 2 whittalls. I was thinking there are only 3 players (Heath streak, Alastair Campbell and Henry Olonga) who did not have a relative playing in the same team.
Well Mr Shankar, Neil Johnson wasn't the first but as per my knowledge Indian all rounder Manoj Parbharkar was the first who did it in limited overs game for his country. May be someone else did it before him but I know Manoj Parbharkar for that, he did it during mid 90's, when he was at peak of his career.
@@mtag883 Yes I do remember reading it. But not sure consistently he did? Even Gavaskar once opened bowling in India in tests, when india played with 3 spinners and a pacer and then ofcourse opened batting
@@princenarayana He did it from 1994 to 1995 era, same like Johnson, who started it from first champion's trophy 1998 till 2000. Few times Lance Klusner also did that for his team but Klusner was second attack bowler with Shaun Pollock while Manoj Parbharkar and Neil Jhonson both opened as first opener and first attack bowler... Means both faced first ball of innings and bowled first ball of of bowling innings... Pakistani Muhammad Hafeez Also did same but for few matches in 2012-13 during his own captaincy era but only in T-20 international's...
Great Zimbabwe side during that era. They were a strong team that time, miss that Zimbabwe team so much, childhood memories. Great players like Neil Johnson, flower brothers, Goodwin, carlise, Whitehall , Campbell etc
One of the great odi teams of that time.....in around that season they toured eng, aus, sa, ind and displayed great cricket especially in the limited format.....the target was to grow as a great side for the 2003 wc at home ..... But the whole thing went upside down as luck would have it with zim.. but a great match with some best cricketers zim had ever produced.... also was the start of a regular annual summer tri series in England, the natwest trophy
The likes of Whittal Brothers, Flower Brothers,Neil Johnson,Murray Goodwin, Strang Brothers, Alistair Campbell,Heath Streak and Henry Olonga should have represented Zimbabwe in 2007 World Cup.Tatenda Taibu's captaincy was one of biggest jokes in the history of cricket.
correct infact i would say that the cricket which used to be played during this era was real cricket not todays where the game has titlted towards one sided.
In those days Zimbabwe was a big team not the minnows like nowadays... But those days commentators... Richie Benaud, Barry Richard's, holding... Some of the greats...those old days cricket I still love... Now a days cricket more or less like a circus... Not many good bowlers, small boundaries, huge bat made cricket looks so funny in now a days...
That was golden era of Zimbabwe cricket! There were so many good cricketers if they could continue then Zimbabwe would have been in so high level at world stage.
I think Neil jhonson is the only cricketer ,to open both batting ,& bowling for a team in entire history of World Cricket ,in any format?!?????? any one clarify if I am wrong????
Alistair Campbell, Stuart Carlisle, Andy Flower, Grant Flower, Neil Johnson, Heath Streak, Paul Strang, Guy Whittall. Look at that line up. The good, old, strong Zimbabwean team. It was a treat to watch them playing back then...I used to love it when they win matches against BIG BIG teams!
Oh Murray Goodwin century!!! Now, I remember, on that day, I went with my family to my relatives marriage, they couldn't serve us feast as we came late. Disappointingly we came home, at 11 pm tv headlines and came to know that Zim has won. Felt amazing!
WI greats like Sobers, Lloyd, Viv etc will probably hang their heads down with shame to see Minnows like Zimbabwe defeat them. WI batting was good but bowling and fielding was really bad, almost as if they have no interest. Bowling full tosses, missing stumping, run outs. During Clive Lloyd time, they had such a formidable pace attack. top class pace bowlers with ability to defend even a total of 140.
Niel Johnson, Andy flower, stuart Carlisle, grant flower,Murray Godwin, guy whittel, Alastair Campbell, heath steak, paul strang, henry olonga, travis friend 90 kids never forget this team very strong & talented
In those days. , Zimbabwe was a dominant team in cricket. But I have a question, if british decendants plays for Zimbabwe, then why should not they plays for us?
they are Zimbabwean by birth so are their documents and other details and I don't think if they refer themselves as British they denied Britain in 1965
Ye vo time tha jab 🇿🇼 Zimbabwe bohot achhi team hoti thi.... India 🇮🇳India ko bhi hara deti thi.... Heath strick.... Andi flower... Grant flower... Hanry olanga jese khiladi Hua krte the.... Team m... Jin ka ko tod nhi tha 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 white logo k Jane se Zimbabwe cricket bilkul dead ho gai
Both the teams have plunged from what they were in the past.. Windies without their legends and Zimbabwe without their multiple match winners.. really sad.. when England can rise and peak, why can't others.. really sad
Jersey during those days were so attractive. New designs were used for new series and that made it look very attractive. These days they use same jersey design again and again, makes it look so boring.
Zimbabwe was most improved side,those days,they managed to achieve the status,through their hardwork,if they could continue,they would have been better side than Sri Lanka and west indies today
that was the begaining of dark era for West Indies Cricket .... last of their great fast bowlers Curtly Ambrose and Walsh had retired, many potential cricketer like Chanderpaul and Hooper were in and out of team and underperforming, Bowling was below average and so was batting .... the great Lara was overindulging in pleasures.... WI cricket has still not recovered and doubt it will become great again...

Paul Strang leg spinner
Pomi embangwa, Craig whishart, Eddo branddis
Days when Zimbabwe was real deal.
I miss this Zimbabwe🇿🇼 side. My childhood memories
Neil Jhonson is the first and one of only few players who used to open both batting and bowling regularly.
Now a days Shakib al Hasan .
Well Mr Shankar,

Idk how you can forget about lance klusner opening with Gary Kristen then opening bowling with Alan Donald.

@@aadil4007 Some close matches during that time v India in India- 2000 Dec and 2002 Mar ODI Series was very close though India won it.
Wow Zimbabwe on top in points table
Thats the real Zimbabwe we so loved! How we miss it!
Loved Zimbabwean team😢😢😢
I wish my country will produce this talent once again
Zimbabwe cricket team very well strong early 2004 miss the golden day's 😍😍😍

Undoubtedly Golden Days of Zimbabwean Cricket 💔
It's a marvel that chris Gyle is still playing...!!!
Days when zimbabwe was a force to reckon with

Now a days Bangladesh is so so team.
Golden Era of Zimbabwen cricket.👍
After left flower brothers zimbabwe cricket died..
U r correct
THAT'S TRUE
Hm..right
I think srilanka cricket will also die after some year
It was President Mugabe's policies towards white people that led to initially white players quitting & then Zimbabwean Cricket dying
That was golden era of Zimbabwe cricket! There were so many good cricketers if they could continue then Zimbabwe would have been in so high level at world stage.
This was the really powerful team of Zimbabwe,Neil Jonson opener batsman and bowler,
I think Neil jhonson is the only cricketer ,to open both batting ,& bowling for a team in entire history of World Cricket ,in any format?!?????? any one clarify if I am wrong????
@@indiaone9485
M Jaisima ,Manoj Prabhakar
Lara makes batting in sunglasses look like a sunday park match lol
that's why they lost
Golden days off the Zimbabwe cricket 💫💫💫💫💫💥💥💥💥💥💥
I am already fan of this cricket team
Endless galbaat Bai g
Alistair Campbell, Stuart Carlisle, Andy Flower, Grant Flower, Neil Johnson, Heath Streak, Paul Strang, Guy Whittall. Look at that line up.
The good, old, strong Zimbabwean team. It was a treat to watch them playing back then...I used to love it when they win matches against BIG BIG teams!
I am Bangladeshi .Zimbabwe team is good but Bangladesh team is now better.
And marra godwen
What a Zimbabwean team was it. Such a class.
Chris Gayle at No.5, later he became one of the greatest openers in all 3 formats.
Believe me the talent,the skill & experience the zimbabwe team had that time could have beaten any present top ranking cicket team.
What an amazing era of zimbabwe cricket ❤️
love u Zimbabwe cricket team ...I still watching in 2018👍👍
Golden Days of Zimbabwe Cricket with full of match winners.
I remember watching this live. I was happy to see Zimbabwe chase 280 odd runs against a strong WI bowling line up. 280 then is like 350 now.
No 400
@ghostinshell100 Hiii, are u from Zimbabwe?
@@secretm4a1rifle68 got to qualify saw it live on TV.
@@ghostinshell100 I asked r you from Zimbabwe ?
@@secretm4a1rifle68 no i am not
GreaT Zimbabwean Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 Love From Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Modern cricket fans simply won’t understand how difficult it was to chase down a target like 287.
In 2000 most of the Zimbabwean
Cricketers were white. But now most of the Zimbabwean cricketers are black.
And the team is also black🤙
#kalu
Too much sun would have made them black
Politics. All the whites are leaving the country

Good old days when things and cricket both were beautiful 😢

Oh Murray Goodwin century!!! Now, I remember, on that day, I went with my family to my relatives marriage, they couldn't serve us feast as we came late. Disappointingly we came home, at 11 pm tv headlines and came to know that Zim has won. Felt amazing!
Murray goodwin my favourite player at that time. 1999 world cup team was their best ever I think.
Once upon a time, there was a team called Zimbabwe.........
Flower brother is always legend of zimbawe cricket
Zimbabwe was world's no.1 team at that time and Andy Flower was a real Legend...
Zimbabwe's team was good but not no 1 bro
Andy flower was the best wicketkeeper batsman ever
Before IPL cricket was beautiful.

Look at the inexperienced Gayle Nobody would have expected those days that Gayle would become the big hitter 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂17:40
The time when hitting a 6 was a big deal :D
Why was it?
@@tatendazuze because those days boundaries were longer, bats were smaller
Shame to icc because of the Zimbabwean cricket died
It's their president Mugabe who killed it
