Looks like Nyauchi, Ndlovu & Kasuza are in, probably means Mumba is out

Disappointing although the pitch doesn't look like its a green monster, looks pretty good for batting so a good 1st innings score is important

Zimbabwe won the toss batting 1st


Where's the link dude?

I was about to switch off because I’m so bored watching and then Noochi snags a wicket! :W:

Ndlovu is a passenger in the side

Just read Dean Du Plessis’ tweet about him being turned down for a commentary stint. You need to “learn respect” Dean.

Spiteful useless muppets. Such a great word... completely without use 😂 😂

Yep. I don’t know why they don’t just persist with Mavuta, every team needs a leggie in their side imo.

How fast you guys think Nyauchi is? These guys need to mix it up a little more, I’d like to see a slower ball and a cross seam. Curran is good at variations when it’s not doing much for him.

The commentary has been poor. Just the same 3 guys with Sibanda making an appearance yesterday.

I haven’t seen Ndlovu until now. Has he got a googly?

I think the commentary is very good with Tino and the local specialist and Dirk supporting him .

I think the commentary has been on point,

Compared to what the guys in Bangladesh have this is perfect

What’s wrong with Dean? Listening to the same three guys for 4/5 days is like being in a throat slitting polygamous marriage.

Nyauchi is starting to look the part,his bowling has improved and looks like he is international standard
Veteran
That’s a lucky break, captains luck

Lucky wicket there but they’ve bowled well so they deserve some luck, not sure why they waited another to take the new ball.

Here we go need to make this new nut count if Zimbabwe want a 1st innings lead, if they don’t take 2-3 here you feel Sri Lanka will coast past the 358 and try and bat Zimbabwe out of the match

Couldn’t possibly take him to Bangladesh

I think they will take Burl to Bangladesh based on his bowling in the BPL.


Take Chisoro too, IMO his bowling will really suit the conditions there

We were all expecting Jarvis to be a handful with the new ball and cause all soughts of problems.

I am still hoping he proves me wrong

Wait, what?

I think the problem with Jarvis at the moment is that he has become too much of an automatic pick.

I don’t see him fighting for a spot to play in the side,I

Think he needs the competition to motivate him!

This right now is the point where we need some luck. In Mathews and Dhananjaya de Silva, they have their two best players in the middle and they can take the game away from us in a session very quickly.

I don’t think that’s the issue. He seems to be bowling well.

Bowling. It’s like Poker. Play well,Some days it works and comes off, other days you can play your socks off and it just doesn’t happen.

Bowling better measured over time and visually how much of a handful you are or not to the bat.
Veteran
Jarvis, Nayuchi & Tiripano depends on seaming condition and pitch to pick wickets. They doesnt have express pace to get reverse or a bouncer to trouble batalsman which becomes effective in this type of slow flat deck

Zimbabwe attack doesnt seems has the quality to take 20 wickets and win test matches.
Veteran
They need to bring Noochi back on.
