Likelihood Zimbabwe loses Test or ODI statis?
Cricinfo - No more smoke and mirrors
Zimbabwe is 8-49-26 in Test cricket and four of those wins were against Bangladesh. They haven't played a Test match since 9/05. They are 81-243-5 in ODI cricket, including 13-50-1 since the beginning of 05 and 3-20-1 since the beginning of 07.
With this all taken into account, do you think there is a possibility Zimbabwe could lose either their Test or ODI status? Should they?
I'm of the opinion that removing a nation's ability to play high level international matches does much more harm than good developmentally. Therefore, I believe Zimbabwe should keep their status, regardless of performance, but I'm interested in what other people think, particularly in regards to the possibility of such an unprecedented move.
