Rating England's Test record against all Test-playing nations

Zimbabwe

It was James Anderson's debut Test series when England and Zimbabwe last played a Test in 2003

Played – 6, Won – 3, Lost – 3, Drawn – 0, Win Percentage – 50.00%

It will be hard to recall when England and Zimbabwe last played a Test match against each other. Nevertheless, records have it that it was just after the 2003 World Cup that that had last happened – a time when Nasser Hussain was England’s captain and James Anderson was on Test debut in the first match of that series.

Little has happened between the sides ever since even in the other formats, and a refusal from some of England’s players to tour Zimbabwe in 2004 brought Kevin Pietersen his international debut (the rest, as they say, is history).

In total, only 6 Tests since their first meeting in 1996 shows the lack of competitiveness between the teams, with three draws and three England wins completing the set.
