[Match Thread] Zimbabwe vs Sri Lanka: 2nd Test, Harare

Regis in tests but what to do in the shorter formats?

It's a problem. I was thinking that might be one reason they've persisted with Moor, so that he can get some practice and become a decent enough choice in the ODIs where Regis has never flourished. I kind of hope that might be the rationale, otherwise I don't think there was much justification for not bringing in Regis for one of the other batsmen in this match.

To be fair, from his one game to date Murray has shown some promise. Top scoring for Zim

I think Cremer will get Herath out soon.

The trouble is that a Twenty20 match and a Test are two entirely different animals, bring an 18 year old in and he drops a couple of chances, what happens? the jackals are on him straight away and may well destroy his career before it's even started

I agree about Herath, if he keeps watching the scoreboard he may well hypnotise himself seeing the numbers go round so quickly and miss a straight one

Yeah I'm not saying he should have played this game or anything. But if it's another year before we play a Test and he has a decent FC season then why not. We desperately need a young talented batsman coming through the ranks.

It's a worry that we've got no Taylor's or Chigumbura's coming through, let alone the next Andy Flower.

From 4/112 to this is mighty disappointing.

How nice would it be to have Ray Price and Graeme Cremer bowling in tandem?

Taibu suggesting Moor is a short term option selected for his batting

[CrimsonAvenger]

Taibu and Streak are actually giving reasons for some selections and non-selections in the squads and XIs. Totally unheard of transparency finally in Zim selections in eons

Finally

No partnership for once

Good for Tiripano, the workhorse of the team.

"The (real) Donald has scored!"

Another "good bloke" for sure.
