[MATCH THREAD] 2nd Test Afghanistan v Zimbabwe @Abu Dhabi

[CholeZimbo]

Before days play like in the epl, we need questions like, " coach , what is the strategy for your batsmen today?"

Williams not going to be a blocker

At least Williams seems to understand we need runs.

Good stuff by Tari and Williams, Zimbabwe lost out because Sean was out early in the first innings.

Good to see some runs being scores, it starts to put the pressure back on the fielding side. Crucial 2nd session now, Zimbabwe cannot afford to lose more than a wicket. They still need to bat 3.5 sessions to save this test.

Wouldn't matter. Our coaches probably don't know themselves.

I like the look of the Afghan left arm quick. I wonder how he would've gone on that pitch from the first test.

That is something a coach would have taught. Pulled Sean aside and said, "They got you out on the short stuff in the first innings. They'll probably try to do the same. So anything short don't worry about it. Leave it. Make them change their game plan."
