The humiliating 2-3 home series loss to Zimbabwe was "one of the lowest points" of Mathews career.

"It's one of the lowest points in my career, and a hard one to swallow. Everything went against us, from the toss to misreading the wicket. But there are no excuses. At the end of the day we were not good enough to beat them. They played better cricket."

Graeme Cremer's troop had not got the better of a Test-playing nation away from home for the past 16 years until this historic win. Despite losing six wickets for 38 runs in the fifth and deciding ODI, they managed to overhaul Sri Lanka's insufficient 203-8 to mark Angelo’s last match as the captain of the team.
