Grant Flower optimistic about Zimbabwe cricket in post-Mugabe era

"Just from a general perspective, there's a huge sense of euphoria," former Zimbabwe batsman Grant Flower told ESPNcricinfo. "Obviously not everything's going to go back to how it was [prior to 2003], but it's a great start."

Flower, who landed in Harare on Friday, had booked his trip to Zimbabwe well before recent political events - an army-forced change of the country's leadership - plunged the nation in uncertainty.
