One man, one team

[tooextracool]

Looking at matches like this, it's pretty convincing to cast Andy Flower in this role. His peak years as a batsman coincide nicely with Zimbabwe's years as a competitive Test team, though a lot of credit would also go to Heath Streak.

Edit: Done some research on this - Zimbabwe won 6 and drew 9 of their 28 Tests from October 1998 to November 2001. During this period Flower scored 2530 runs at 76.66 with 7 of his 12 centuries, top score 232*. No other Zimbabwe batsman scored more than Whittall's 1126 runs at 34.12.

Murray Goodwin.

I would actually suggest that Zimbabwe was by and large a one man side post Goodwin's retirement, from mid 2000-late 2002 when Andy Flower was the only test match quality bat they had.
