If the West Indies want a result in this test they need to score a lot faster than this. I genuinely feel we are going to lose a few sessions to the rain

The rest of the batting lineup play quite aggressive so they will pick up the run rate.

These 2 openers just bat really conservatively.

To Zimbabwe's credit they've kept it tight and haven't given any freebies. A couple of quick wickets can make that scorecard look a lot different.

How have we ended up with the 2nd choice keeper for the worst domestic team in the country, keeping wicket for the national team in a Test match?

Test cricket is dead boring if wickets don't fall or if the contest is extremely one sided.

This game so far appears to be meeting both the criterias. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Typical Mavuta finally found his stride and bowled a great over with chances….then the rain comes :roll:

Our only hopes for a draw gets more likely with this rain. Always wanna see more cricket but this is helping us a lot.

Surely that Mavuta delivery was out in the final over before the rains??? We didn't even appeal properly. Looked plumb :?
