Well played Cremer. One poor shot at the end shouldn't detract from what was otherwise a fantastic effort.

[Jemisi]

terrible shame. 90.3 fair effort. Umpires need sacking. Cremer demonstrates again why he was recently knighted.

[Ming]

All done.

Only three batsmen faced more balls than Mumba in that second innings. Some people need a serious arse-kicking, whether or not the umpire was crap.

[Jemisi]

Mumba deserves a mention in despatches. 62 balls undefeated. I like to see the bowler putting a price on their wicket even if they are crap.

[CrimsonAvenger]

There are 3 days to the next test. Taylor was in the stands. Taibu and Streak are in the system. Need we say more? Let's get the mother of all coups done before the second test starts!

Brain Freeze with our skipper the loss he must bare with the rest of th batsman

Batsman found wanting on local wickets with the LBW's. Tino Mawoyo got a rough one. Our second innings is seriously of concern shaking my head why a lower order batsman like Klusenr can teach top order batsaman

Of serious concern is our inabaility to bowl out a team which needs to be worked on.

Our bowling is crap. Vitori looked deadly in that match against Pak A, where he took 3 early wickets in the second innings. He is the type of bowler we need in the test matches. If Mpofu can play after 5 years then Vitori is ready too, ZC should just beg him to play in the next match. Tiripano has batted well, but his job is to take wickets. I would drop him and bring Chiniyou in the next game. I have a feeling they would drop at-least one bowler from this game and bring Muzarbani for the second test. Raza and Chakabva should come in place of Chari and Waller. We surely are short of 2-3 batsmen in the country as we don't have any players left to replace our current batting unit.

Chakabva, Muzarbani, Chinoya, Raza they are more useless then Waller, Chari, Tiripano. ITS ENOUGH OF USELESS, TIME TO BRING FRESH FACE - MUSAKANDA, MASVAURE, NATHAN WALLER, NAYUCHI
