Big Mike steaming in and causing chaos as usual. The guy is nearly 40! Unbelievable
Would anyone be averse to Big Mike being the third seamer behind Blessing and Richie and the upcoming test matches?..

Haha, I love the guy and have known him for over twenty years but it's probably a bit too late now to be honest.

Criminal that he only ever played for Zim a couple of times. Quality player.

These test matches aren't exactly for building for future tournaments, in the way that white ball bilaterals are.

Would anyone else do a better job?

Some test match wickets in England, then retire?

I would love to see Mike in Zim colours. So deserved. Heart of a lion.

Silly runout for Chiorah got himself out. He was really playing well today.

Ya he is.

I remember him taking a 7fer and then opening the batting and scoring about 70* for KweKwe High School against us back in the day.
