da apostebet： Zimbabwe Cricket Union Media Release06-May-2003Zimbabwe captain Heath Streak has welcomed his side’s win in its tour opener against the British Universities at Edgbaston.”It’s a very positive opening for us and gets the tour off to a good start,”said Streak after Monday’s 10-wicket win, achieved on day three of thescheduled four-day match.”Our last international cricket was in Sharjah, so there is a great contrastin the conditions we played in over there compared to here, in an Englishspring. We only have three first-class games before the Lord’s Test, so itwas important to get off the mark with a win and to see good performancesfrom a number of players throughout the team,” said Streak.Coach, Geoff Marsh, said it was an encouraging team performance, highlightedby a number of strong individual contributions.”Having arrived in the country on Thursday, we have acclimatised quickly toplay well and wrap up the match in three days. We’ll be looking to build onthat in our next game against Worcester on Friday, which will provide uswith the sterner test we need as we approach the Test.”Among the batsmen, several of the guys have spent valuable time in themiddle. Grant Flower will be pleased to have started off with a solid hundred and Carlisle, Vermuelen, Streak and Blignaut backed him up with runs. Those that missed out here will be looking to make up with strong form at Worcester.”Bowling wise, Hondo did very well for a player making his debut in Englandand is improving fast. It was a pretty flat wicket so we did well to bowlthem out twice in three days,” Marsh added.
