What do you reckon a target that we can defend is?

Gavin Rennie reckons "nothing less than 350"

Surely he means a 350 lead, not a second innings score?
If he means lead, I think Dirk has his maths wrong. Even if we get to around a lead of 200 tonight, we wouldn't batting 90 overs tomorrow for 150 more runs.

...concentrate on getting to lunch tomorrow. Whatever the score, it should be enough...300-ish lead?

He did mean lead so you are right - his math is wrong! Still, really, 350?

Bet365 now have Zimbabwe as favourites. $2.40 to Pakistan's $2.62. Draw $3.60.
I don't think anybody could have predicted that happening even just a couple of hours ago.

Poor analyses from nothing less than a failed opener. Under estimates the abilities of this present day generation, as usual, who have much more ability than that Andy Flower lot

If there is one thing that this Test series has proven, it's that it's complete madness that ZC haven't moved Heaven and earth to keep the SL series on the table.

Now is the ideal time to have continuous Test matches for this team.

Your kidding right? I must have missed all of the victories of the current generation.

Nice 50 from Mawoyo

he is well and truly a special player and gold-dust for Zim

[eugene]

Great to see Mawoyo in the runs again.
