Zimbabwe Pitches 1988-1998:

Just two test grounds to consider in Zimbabwe Harare is a batsman’s venue, sometimes a little slow paced and often giving just a little help to the spinners late in the match but also providing a true surface on which to accumulate runs. Bulawayo on the other hand usually gives the quickies a little help on the first morning and also helps the spinners in the later stages. Frequently the bounce is erratic also, so batting is not that easy here.
