Getting pinned twice and you’ll start feeling you’re being picked on. I didn’t see it but I believe it was a terrible blow. Hope he’s ok?

Has anybody ever had back to back double hundreds? Matthews needs to go or we’re getting beat here.

Paramedics (not team doctors) stretchered him off the ground, looked like he had the neck brace and everything. I imagine he probably was put straight in an ambulance.

Wonder if Brian Muz will replace him again. Suspect they may go for Maruma.brmtaylor.com admin wrote: ↑Wed Jan 29, 2020 10:08 amParamedics (not team doctors) stretchered him off the ground, looked like he had the neck brace and everything. I imagine he probably was put straight in an ambulance.

Pivotal point coming up.
If they can remove Matthews within the next 30 runs scored we are a real chance. I feel that we need at least a 50 run advantage after the first innings to be any chance here.
I told you if we were going to be in it, we would need Raza and/or Williams to do the lions share. Raza has stepped up with his wickets and drops off his bowling.
These two are probably our best two spinners in the country, whilst this is grim, it’s a selection blessing to bat deeper or get an extra few pacemen in.
The only problem is Raza is not Warne. He can’t do it all. At some point he will tire or they will figure him out. We are going to need our ‘quicks’ to clean the tail.

Cant believe dickwella has played so many innings and never got a test century. Need to prise these two out and the sri lankan tail isn't much to write home about
Re: Match Thread | Zimbabwe vs Sri Lanka 2020 | 2nd Test | Harare
An under 350 total must be the goal here, and it’s quite reasonable, realistic and attainable.

I wonder if ZC pay medical insurance and all that? It would seem logical, given their track record that they don’t pay many benefits or make many of the mandatory contributions. If he doesn’t go to one of the decent facilities here, and there are a couple, he won’t be well placed. You go to a government hospital if you’ve signed a euthanasia clause in your will, there’s only one way in and one way out. I wouldn’t send an orange Guinea Pig to Harare Hospital. I’d send all the board members for their Coronavirus jabs though.brmtaylor.com admin wrote: ↑Wed Jan 29, 2020 10:08 amParamedics (not team doctors) stretchered him off the ground, looked like he had the neck brace and everything.
