Kasuza has a bit of Taibu/Chakabva in him in the way he uses his wrists to get to the pitch of the ball. Nice to see a couple of new faces get a chance and hold their own. Shows that we do have more than 6 batsman in the whole country.

There’s a nice active stump mike that we can all hear and no sledging? What a wasted opportunity to hear the slanging

Not sure about the bright red numbers of the back of the shirt. Feel they should be green to match the colour of the helmets. Every innings I have seen Masvaure play at international he has looked comfortable. This innings is no different.

Chawaguta is quite a distinguished looking dude. Zimbabwe’s Idris Elba.

I noticed Dafabet are sponsoring this series, that’s a good sign!

Pitch looks flat as I’d say 250 is way unders in the first innings,
If the pitch stays like this, and it might due to the rain & lack of sun a draw looks a good bet

What's Dafabet?

We've followed this team long enough to know anything can happen
Angelo Mathews will probably come on to bowl for the first time in 20 years and take an 8-fer.
So I'll stick with 250, anything beyond that is a bonus given how long it's been since we've played a Test

The Batsman With No Name has got a shit plank.

Haha that would be so Zimbabwe. Remember Dilshan taking five wickets with his non-turning off spinners a few years ago.

Impressive stuff from Prince. Really like his technique, has lots of time on the ball. Kazuza straight away looks a whole lot better than Chari. Do these boys not have sponsorships?

Not that last shot that he nearly chopped on. I think the mistake is feeling like they are "in", they need to just keep playing slowly and accumulate. The bowling is not great.

I don’t think so. The batsman with no name just steps down the wicket and uses his hands, working so far, but he just needs to keep doing what’s gotten him to 30. No rush.
