Hope we hold on to take the match to the fifth day. That would be a decent job too after getting 35 wickets.

Watching Moor bat is now becoming something I really look forward to. It is reaching a stage of "I don't want to miss it". Always positive and aggressive but not stupid enough to overdo it on most occasions. A controlled version of Andy Blignaut, whose batting I enjoyed every bit...

No for me he is a more controlled version of Charles Coventry,

PJ will come good..he is still in that honeymoon phase..we will start holding him accountable in a year or so..

I will always say this even though many will disagree with me that Masakadza and Waller have to stick to t20s..we have to move on and give other people a go..they will never come good. I am over that fantasy of them scoring big again in a test.

Yeah that's probably a better comparison. But for some reason I was always more excited to watch Bliggie bat than Coventry or any other Zimbo for that matter during those times. It was so unpredictable - what to expect when Bliggie strode out, and an air of expectation. So, this was more from that angle - a personal preference.

I hope I don't put a curse on Donald by saying this, but his technique against Herath looks ten times as solid as Chari's.

Woaw, Bobby just clobbered Herath for six :6: to go to his personal best, and then calmly pushes one to long-on. Just when my stream seems to be gone for good. :cry:

... stream is back, so more of that please Bobby :D ... and ends on 20, incredible; all of a sudden he's got a Test average of 3.5 :D

This could have easily been 2-0 on our side had we prepared the typical seamer friendly HSC pitch. Lost opportunity.

Or it could have stayed atleast 1-0 had we batted first! And our no 11 got more runs than masakadza,chari,waller combined!
