[Match Thread] OnIy Test: SL vs ZIM

[Tom91]

Come on Graeme get some runs for the boys

Great work from Ervine a test ton in Sri Lanka v Herath is a great achievement. Shame none of his mates have backed him up ......

[foreignfield]

Not able to watch anything today, so thanks for the summaries guys.

Good stuff, Ervine. With the captain and the Don he has two solid bats to work with and turn this into a big one.

17 off 60 balls, showing good fight here. No need to panic just rotate the strike and play the long game. As long as they don't get bogged down hopefully they will hang in there.

I think we won't get much out of the last two wickets, despite Tiripano's pedigree. These two need to put on another 50 or so to have something to bowl to

[Lostart]

Lots of starts, only 1 player in single figures. Why do we just not convert starts to more runs?

[Jemisi]

300 will be good from here

[Lostart]

I guess Ervine will have to play some shots here, Tiripano can sure hit a ball but i don't see him lasting all that long. And we know the quality of Mpofu's batting

[foreignfield]

Tiripano = We are here (something to add to my list of explanation of Shona names, thanks Ed

Let's hope he is here to stay. Donald always fills me with a lot of confidence with a bat in his hand

[Lostart]

Oh my apologies to Mr Tiripano................. reverse sweep for 4
