[Match Thread] OnIy Test: SL vs ZIM

[Jemisi]

Cremer you beauty! Nice take Regis

[Jemisi]

Can we keep up some pressure?

[jaybro]

Great start after lunch all of a sudden the pitch looks like it's playing a few tricks

[Conant]

Really, really pleased for Craig Ervine! Will stop criticisms of him henceforth; this has been an innings of really great character!

And Donald Tiripano! What a chap. Batting better than many of our top order batsman against the spin. He will die for his team.

Immensely pleasing work then -- the best day of Test cricket we have had in a years, given we were in the doldrums before lunch.

Totally proud, my heart is swelling, well done boys!

You saying kind words about Craig?

Hell has frozen over!

My criticisms of him have never been about race, trust me. Its mainly because he's always languid and slightly lazy and has looked all at see against spin (somewhere on this thread Eugene says "mastery of spin"!), and the selectors further infuriating by playing him (and Chakabva) in T20s when he's t unequipped to. Now the selectors for once look like they know what they are doing.

I saw some insisting that Mire should have been in the Test. These Givemore Makonis, we should never let them anywhere near our selection panel!

Bit of luck there

[Jemisi]

The Don is in everything atm

[Jemisi]

Where are their heads at? Another wicket here and things could really unravel.

[PSR]

Need to break this partnership ASAP

[Conant]

Alas


Alastair Campbell says the ball has "gone through his fingers". After hastily insisting Musakanda was out yesterday, I'm doubting this oke's nationality, a fong kong Zimbabwean he is!

I see sense took over when Streak decided Chakabva would keep, because PJ Moor would certainly have missed that catch! Excited!
