[Match Thread] Zimbabwe v New Zealand: Test Match

[Jemisi]

I dont think the draw is too much of a factor unless NZ bat on and on for security. NZ are looking good for the win, though I think we still have a small chance if we can knock over this tail

Of the three departments, currently it is our fielding that is the furthest away from test class. We look worse than a poor Indian team in the field sometimes lately.

Finally we catch one!!

Well, we didn't quite manage to get their 20 wickets, but we went close. A decent bowling effort from Zim this test. Good, encouraging signs.

NZ have declared, now Mawoyo it's your turn now.

What's the best link to watch the game? My link at HitCric has advertisements running over the top of it constantly.

Was thinking the same. On our return to test cricket we have generally batted with patience, and for long periods (the collaps against Pakistan not withstanding - it has happened to better teams), and bowled with a lot of discipline, but our catching is nothing short of embarrasing. That drop by Regis was right out of the 'Kamral Akmal book of wicketkeeping'. And our captain is equally dropping sitters left right and center at slip.

I'm afraid a win is beyond us. But of course we can't shut up shot from the go. The instructions from the coaches will be to bat normally, whatever that means.

Oh, and I too have switched to cricket-365 when hitcric choose to entertain us with some Indian advertisement voice-overs.

Zimbabwe are currently the worst fielding unit in international cricket. Many on this forum are probably in denial about that but it is the truth.

Don't think anyone's denying that our fielding's woeful at the moment. It's costing us matches.
