SL chased down 380 odd last time we played them, so we need to clean up this tail fast and then put up another really good total.

Some chin music from Mumba please.

I'd get a silly mid on in for Raza too. Crowd the bat.

I'm here for you bro, but...is it ok if I multitask?

Given the turn Raza is extracting I'm a bit worried about how our batsmen will fare against their spinners. We really need to wrap up this innings quickly and give ourselves a big buffer.

Don't choke from here... we've got Mathews out, just bowl good lines.

To be honest if Burl was in the squad I would drop Raza for him. He disappointed me the most over the last 5 days. We have to start taking a hard stance on some people. He really should have done better.

Look I'm not trying to troll TapsC here and this isn't entirely targeted at you mate, but it really frustrates me when people call for the established players to be dropped after one poor outing. Zimlover also wanted Jarvis dropped and today is a great example why you should always back your big guns to fire and come good.

It may take longer than you like sometimes but these guys are the ones who are going to win Zimbabwe Test matches.

Raza has 72 runs & 5 wickets so far not bad at all

I'm not 1 to moan when we are doing well. He knew he was under pressure and he delivered and that makes me happy.

What the hell happened there lol

We can't let them get passed 300

What’s up with Zimbabwe and South Africa rounding up school kids against their will and making them wave flags at test matches? Given a choice between algebra and religious instruction they’d all take school over sitting in the hot sun every time.

Nerves. They are panicking because they didn't expect to be in this situation.
Wouldn't surprise me if one of these no-hoper batsmen cracks a ton

We've done this with an awful bowling attack too. Imagine if we had any of Jarvis, Chatara or Williams bowling today?
It's basically been the Raza show with a bit of economical support from Tiripano.

You just can’t have an international keeper missing those.
Form 1 keepers would have picked that up.
