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

Well I don’t think the Nameless One had to play at that, but it was a damned good ball. He’s got forearms like Popeye.

Is there a batsman in world cricket that doesn’t try and turn a ball on middle and leg to square? It was missing but just.

Did anyone say this was going to be a dull day? Lakman hits the pads with every second delivery here.

Mudzi gone, that was coming.

That looked outside the line to me. This is the worst start to the day and this pitch is about to assist the bowling

2 of Zimbabwe's best batters in now...this is going to be a hell of a day's play!

I liked the idea to bring in Tiripano as a sort day watchman; maybe we'll see him later as a lunch watchman.

Surely we don’t collapse in a heap on this pitch.

😂 😂

It’s happening!

Did we ever have all of our top 3 as left handers? and 4 in top 5 lefties? Very very unlikely.

😂 😂 😂 Who’s the legend who’s created the ZCF twitter page?! Who ever it is has just taken a massive swipe at Frank Mawoza! 😂 It’s made my day


Is it you?

That comment sounded like Sloandog or jaybro.


I wish it was me, I’m not on twitter but I might make an account and support who ever did it!

Ya I get around a bit on business, don’t make much money, but I do get to travel.

Whilst I’m reminiscing Zim is crashing and burning.

This is going to be a serious ending. Fasten your seatbelts belts.

120-5 🥺 Terrible start to the session. Time for somebody to stand up

Regis is best when he gets his head down and doesn't worry about the scoring rate. Raza needs to get us into the lead and then some.

Oh no, it looked like these two would guide us to safety with ease. Williams with all that talent averages in sub 30s in tests is a frustrating thing.

Taylor and Williams both should have cashed in better on a pitch like this.

I'm not panicking yet. As I said yesterday, the aim is:


So let's say 1/20 at stumps.

3/90 at lunch.

6/170 at tea.


Which we are on track for, and we can afford to lose one of these guys at the crease. I have tremendous faith in Tiripano.

If we have one more guy make 30 or 40, I think we'll be safe.

Googly seems to watch cricket for a living, England one week, South Africa the next and finally one in Zim! Maybe he’s an England selector?!


That’s gold.

SL would back themselves to chase 150 off the final session at 5 an over. To get there, Zim needs another 180 runs off 25 ish overs.

Given those numbers, the only way ZIM avoids defeat is by batting till stumps.

This has the makings of an unbelievable ending.
