Great days play I still feel it's even money atm but a couple of quick wickets early tomorrow and Zimbabwe are back in business ....

I remember when the 1st ashes test was on a few people here commented that they didnt blame young Zimbo's for wanting to be a part of matches like that, well I think this match is the closest thing Zimbabwe will get to that. It's been tight sea sawing cricket of a high standard thrilling to watch even though the run rates have been below 3 an over for most of the match ....

Go Zimbabwe can't wait for tomorrow .....

You could almost sense the Pakistani approach to 4th innings, an aggressive beginning to ensure they get a load of runs and deflate the Zim bowlers in confidence. Thankfully Manzoor and Hafeez perished, but did Younis and Manzoor do enough damage already? Adnan Akmal looks in the same mood too. We don't have much left to defend, so must hope for early wickets tomorrow.

Nerve-wracking, but absolutely glorious stuff. I hope a few people will turn up at the ground tomorrow to witness whatever is in store.

But what absolutely infuriates me is the fact that the wider cricketing world isn't paying any attention. I think we are presently not even featured among the top stories on Cricinfo, not to mention other mainstream online sports media (in the UK -- but I guess it's not big news in Aus either, although the prospect of Pak loosing might be of slight interest in India???) -- of course it is way more important that tomorrow there's a superfluous ODI to be rained off and Andrew Strauss needs a job. :x

Go Zim!

Doesn't even look like Zimbabwe is paying much attention. There must have been about a crowd of 100 today.

I think this match will come down to the wire with either side winning. Its really 50-50 right now. PAK could easily collapse within the next 50 runs. If you guys can snare Misbah early tomorrow before they add 10 runs to the total, it will be definite advantage to ZIM.

Zim will surely take this match no doubt. This tour has show that we are worthy of a spot amongst the test nations.

Lets go Zimbabwe.

I like him coming around the wicket; it's not an angle that batsman would face all that often. If he could get a few to swing in too he'd really be in business.
