A great fighting performance from Zimbabwe to come from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 with African champions Algeria. The Warriors totally deserved the point, if not all three. If they play like this in the remaining two qualifiers, they should be heading to the finals!

Good going for Zimbabwe in the cricket, beating Sri Lanka by 22 runs in Pallakelle. Craig Ervine hit 91 as the Chevrons made 302/8 and Tendai Chatara and Blessing Muzarabani took 3 wickets each. It's 1-1 in the 3-game ODI series.

A great win for Zimbabwe in their opener at the ICC T20 World Cup in Australia, beating Ireland by 31 runs. Sikandar Raza hit 82 as Chevrons made 174/7. A great chance of reaching the Super 12 stage for the first time โ€“ a win over West Indies on Wed or Scotland on Friday will do.

Went to Lake Chivero outside Harare today. With all the rain of late, the lake is 100% full and looking great. #ZimBho

Isaac Mpofu has absolutely smashed the Zimbabwe national record for the Men's Marathon as he finished 10th at the World Championships. His time of 2 hours 7 mins 57 sec takes nearly 2 minutes off Cuthbert Nyasango's 2 hours 9 mins 52.

Greetings from Lake Mutirikwi near Masvingo! Staying at Lake Kyle National Park, amazing location with a lovely game park. Sadly the Harare-Masvingo highway is in a deplorable, dangerous state though, so getting here wasn't easy. #BeautifulZimbabwe

It came too late, but a big performance at #AFCON2021 for Zimbabwe, beating Guinea 2-1. The already-eliminated Warriors held off second-half pressure for a deserved win, Musona and Mahachi scoring. Guinea ranked 15th in Africa, Zimbabwe 31st. Well done to the Warriors!

Catfish is my favourite dish so far here in Cote D'Ivoire! Had this one as part of preparations for commentary on today's #TotalEnergiesAFCON2023 games here in San Pedro. We've got Namibia v Mali and Zambia v Morocco, and probably another night of drama as groups E and F end.

The Warriorsโ€™ campaign is back on track! A big 3 points with a 2-1 win away to a poor Zambia gives Zimbabwe 4 points in #AFCON2021Q A vastly improved performance, 2 Billiat goals and Musona having a good game. Next matches are Aug/Sept 2020 against Algeria, away and then at home.
