[QUOTE="LittleGuy, post: 589874, member: 44360"] No, Southern Rhodesia is/was not Zimbabwe, just as Italy is not the Roman Empire. They may have occupied the same territory but the political entities are entirely different, and there is nothing at all similar between the rule of the region before 1979 and afterword. Nor to be even more frank is there anything remotely similar to the make up of the team that took the field against the AB's to a side that Zimbabwe would field now. Edit: Sorry I was wrong when the match was played it was Southern Rhodesia. [/QUOTE]
