Although the Zimbabwean team is considered weak, but if this team plays at home and with its full strength, then it is very difficult to stop it. Something similar was seen in the Bulawayo Test where Zimbabwe scored 586 runs in the first innings of the first Test against Afghanistan. This score of Zimbabwe is the biggest record in its test history. The big thing is that in this huge score of Zimbabwe, three batsmen scored centuries.

Shaun Williams scored the highest score of 154 runs, while captain Craig Erwin also played a century inning of 104 runs. 21 year old young batsman Brian Bennett also played an amazing innings. This player scored an unbeaten 110 runs in 124 balls. Brian hit 4 sixes and 5 fours and he also made a special record in his name.

Brian Bennett made this record

Brian Bennett became the youngest Zimbabwean player to score a century in the Boxing Day Test. This player accomplished this feat at the age of 21 years and 46 days. The record for scoring the youngest century in the Boxing Day Test is in the name of Carl Hooper. The former captain of West Indies had made this record against India in the year 1987.

Three batsmen scored centuries in Zimbabwe's innings. This has happened only for the third time in Zimbabwe's Test history.
