Question for HHM, when was the last time a black guy took a fiver for ZIM? The team could use 3-4 more "Pakis" and a couple more whites.

Re: MATCH THREAD! West Indies vs Zimbabwe 2nd test @ Queens Bulawayo
Let me guess...
1) Vusi
2) Vusi
3) Vusi
4) Vusi (C)
5) Vusi
6) Vusi (WK)
7) Elton
8) Utseya
9) Elton
10) Elton
11) Panyangara
The two opening Vusis would score 43 runs per innnings combined...the 4 middle order Vusis would score 29, 3 Eltons would score 63, Utseya would add 15, and Panyangara would a very handy 17.
So the batting team would put up 167 runs per innings + lets say 10 extras for a total of 177 per innings.
The bowlers would probably concede 500 in a day, lol.

Re: MATCH THREAD! West Indies vs Zimbabwe 2nd test @ Queens Bulawayo
I’m still raging about that decision from Dharmasena. It completely changed the game, that was absolutely outrageous. Aside from it being plumb, bananas and peaches as the Windies commentator admitted, the umpire knew the batting side had reviews left so he could have given it out and left it up to them to review it, which they would not have. I’ve lost count of the times we’ve been robbed by umpires. It’s time the third umpire can quickly review decisions like that and overturn blatantly wrong calls. The review system has dramatically improved the game, but it’s still incomplete. Why should this even be a debate?
Re: MATCH THREAD! West Indies vs Zimbabwe 2nd test @ Queens Bulawayo
The third umpire should just intervene in such scenarios. No reason in this day and age to have blatantly wrong calls being made.

The worst is yet to come. I guess they'll go about 200+ ahead and we will capitulate and lose by an innings, within the fourth day. Sad because we put up a great fight from 14 for 3, but some ridiculous selections and abject captaincy especially in the second test made us handicapped.

Re: MATCH THREAD! West Indies vs Zimbabwe 2nd test @ Queens Bulawayo
Current Test Performance are enough to show, why ICC grouped Zimbabwe in Tier 2 Test Cricket.
1) Batting Worries in First Test
2) Fielding Worries in Second Test
3) Bowling Worries can't finish off the tail in Second Test.
Consequence : Reason which is going on over last 10 years, that ICC Providing less test opportunity for Zimbabwe

Re: MATCH THREAD! West Indies vs Zimbabwe 2nd test @ Queens Bulawayo
Cremer tried so many options, still none of them could stop Holder & Dowrich. It will great to see Chakabva and Moor to start the proceedings in Day 4 with some off spin and finish off the tail.
Robo to rule
Re: MATCH THREAD! West Indies vs Zimbabwe 2nd test @ Queens Bulawayo
Spare a thought for Chakabva who has been crouching every now and then behind the stumps for 150 overs and still more to go today. He would be more than happy to hand over the gloves to Moor/Taylor/Waller whoever is getting bored...
