In contrast, Zimbabwe's stats in their 6 Tests since re-admission are:

Batting = 23.36
Bowling = 38.41
Ratio = 0.608

If you take out their win against us, then only does their ratio drop to 0.476, which is still not that much poorer than ours.

This indicates that we've been playing "well" on really flat batting tracks whereas Zimbabwe have played on far more sporting wickets at home, in NZ (seam friendly), and WI (spin friendly). Based on these numbers, the series should be closer than most of us expect, which is disappointing and scary at the same time!
