[Match Thread] OnIy Test: SL vs ZIM

Damn, played all around it.

What's the minimum target we can set them to have a chance at winning this? 250?

Come on Musakanda, it'd be great to see him get amongst the runs. Tough situation against Herath though.

200 will be something to bowl at

Depends how much the pitch breaks up, at this point still a good deck I think we need 300 run lead minimum .....

I'd like to see Zim take their time building a total too. We don't need to motor along at 4 an over. If we take it slow and keep wickets in hand, bat deep into day 4 then it also leaves the draw as an option.

A 3-2 ODI series win and a draw in the Test would make it a pretty comprehensive tour victory.

I think it's runs. We need as many as we can get. Stay positive, keep attacking. We don't need to be kamikazes but we need to get them protecting the boundaries and letting us tick along like the middle overs of an odi.

That was a dumb shot

Tary v Herath worries me ......

[Jemisi]

Oh Tari wow

Probably needs to stay in the ODIs for a bit longer to learn his game. Need Mawoyo back in the Test team to bat out these situations.

This is why I said I wouldn't have put him in, first class average of under 25 now and never made a first class ton. The kid has talent but Burl was more deserving of a test debut .....
