Match Thread: Afghanistan v Zimbabwe 1st Test (2nd-6th March)

Hard

This is a fantastic victory for us but Jesus how toothless has Afghanistan's batting been? I still can't get over the shot their skipper played. Such a terrible shot for a test batsman. Well done to the boys for not relenting. Hopefully they can all have a few beers together and share in this victory

2 day test win, what a game for us! Williams absolutely superb, bowling attack doing brilliantly as well. Our pacers are actually quite good when the conditions are in favour of pace bowling instead of being dry dust bowls huh

I'll be doing my player reviews once the game has actually been won but how unbelievably good has Sean Williams been this game! Taken wickets, scored a century and taken an absolute screamer of a catch

bit of an early swipe

That was the most LBW of LBWs for Kasuza there. How did he not give that out?

[Jemisi]

yikes glad we're not chasing many

There was another one when Wes was bowling. The Afghanistan bowling one may have been going over but they need drs.

My word these two batting are looking edgy.

I think Wesley's LBW at the end was even more plumb. A shame for him not to get that. Overall, though, I think the umpires have been good sans DRS. Not too many howlers at all.

How poor have Afghanistan been?? Real darlings of cricket too. Lovely to see the ugly step child of the game giving them an absolute thrashing. Two days!!
