Zimbabwe vs Afghanistan | First Test | 26 December 2024 - 30 December 2024 | Queens Sports Club

Congrats to Brian Bennett getting a test ton so early in his career.

Game is interestingly poised. At this stage - still way too early - its headed for a draw. However, a collapse out of nowhere can change the dynamic. India were looking comfortable at 153-2, and suddenly slumped to 164-5. So anything can happen.

The game will surely go all 5 days though which is a victory in and of itself for the game.

Raza bigging up the selectors again. What's in it for him?

I hope he doesn't play the next game.

Can play instead of Mavuta for his bowling and can bat at 8.

What was the latest news on Ryan Higgins?

This unknown pie-eating umpire has made about 6 bad calls in a row. It must be a world record.

Which of the umpires is this?

When was the last time we had 3 centurions in a single innings, if we ever have had one?

Was a very good batting display. Just disappointed that some of the others couldn't convert starts. Haven't really been able to watch much without a stream, but sounds like it is a batting pitch. I think our bowlers will struggle a bit as they tend to get into that space where the longer things go, they lose direction and strategy.

The bowling was crazy soft, let’s be honest in the sense this 586 isn’t like regular 586s, BUT, every Zim team previously will have found ways to get themselves out and go on a mini collapse.
The last two days they showed discipline and took their scoring opportunities.
They did exactly what they had to do.
People say they should have decanted but I disagree.
The century was important for Bennett’s development.
And it was a n is offence boost for Sean and Craig whom people are starting to doubt, and they will take heed that they are still the backbone of our lineup.
We can always bowl them out twice if they crumble or go for a quick fire 2nd innings.

Everything’s playing out perfectly, something we rarely see in Zimbabwe.

Twice before we've had three centuries in an innings - 2001 v Bangladesh and 1995 v Pakistan.

So can Campbell. Raza needs to stay out of red ball, not needed and not wanted.
