[Match Thread] OnIy Test: SL vs ZIM

tail needs to wag

Much better session here.. can say we had the advantage in that one until PJ played that stupid shot. We need a big partnership and just a few targets. We should be aiming around 350 if our tail plays it's part. Ervine just needs a partner

[Jemisi]

350 would be massive from here. We will do well to get to 300.

I'm guessing all the non-Herath wickets were avoidable based on the Cricinfo commentary?

Frustrating to see almost everyone getting starts and not converting. But it could have been worse. If we had been bowling first, it could have been a platform for massacre already.

Hey fellas haven't been able to watch any of the match so far how's the wicket playing?

What's a good score batting first on this pitch ?

I think we made a clear error selecting Musakanda over Burl, just look at Burl's first class average 44.5 !!!!! Best in the whole country ......

[Jemisi]

400 would be decent up front. The pitch is great.

As for the wickets - Raza not too guilty, Hami not good technique but no brain explosion, Moor, Williams, Regis all naughty. Musakanda possibly ripped off and swishing outside off early in his innings.

Can we win with 350-450 Up, if Waller and Ervine add 130 partnership from here, Cremer can bat(thank god)

[PSR]

Waller looking in sublime touch..Needs to continue he good work

[PJMoor]

Can we win with 350-450 Up, if Waller and Ervine add 130 partnership from here, Cremer can bat(thank god)

Players like Ervine, are a blessing for Zimbabwe cricket, averages in the 30s, bar Tamim Iqbal, bangladeshi`s,SL or even NZ don`t have anyone with the guile of Ervine

[PSR]

Superb innings by Ervine
