Missed all the action so far, but looks like a decent state to be in and a lot of disciplined bowling. Hope we can continue this and create chances in the last session. (and hope Hope doesn't continue for long too)

It is indeed shocking to see Rieffel still officiating at the top level. Russel Tiffin is way better.
That's a massive indictment. :D

I see Mr Dhamarsena is umpiring this one. Nice one for a change, excellent umpire.

I though all we persevered is Paul Reffeil, indolent Englishmen and upstart Indians ones on tv. :oops:

Gosh that was poor from Williams.

Really hopped he could prove hhm wrong (Where is he by the way, after such a good session yesterday?), but was never confident myself.

Clearly mentally he is not strong, although of the whole lot maybe only Raza passes that test, and he is walking in now...

We just need one good partnership and we'll be fine. Lucky we bat deep... but geez there's a bit of pressure on Ervine to kick on now.
Masakadza looked the most comfortable at the crease so far.

So big question - who would you send in next; Chakabva or Waller?

I'd like to give Chakabva the chance to build a long innings.

+1.

He was batting at that position in Sri Lanka anyway, and Malcolm last. This should capitalise on some lusty hits when he bats with the tail.

Brain fade, after brain fade after brain fade. Even worse from the bench when we needed Chakabva to dig in and build with Ervine, they send the spin deficient Waller. :oops:
