Yeah, loved that chatter by Mawoyo

Good day's effort boys!

Best possible result tomorrow morning is probably 5 or 6 maidens on the trot before taking the final wicket.
We don't want to concede any more runs, but we also don't want to be batting a whole lot during the notorious first hour while the ball is swinging around a lot.

The bowling attack looked very good today didn't it. The inclusion of Jarvis would have probably warranted more wides and no balls and four balls, despite his added pace and wicket taking ability.

That would be brilliant! In fact, we must force this. Hamilton with the ball first up in the morning

Got to say that Shingirai Masakadza was outstanding today, he ran in hard all day and kept it tight from one end and got his deserved wickets in the final session of the day.

If Pakistan had any sense they would declare overnight and have a go tomorrow.

Once again Zimbabwe do well when Im not watching lol and good news for themI wont be able to watch untill the w/e ......

Looks like the boys bowled really well but I think they always bowl well its just today they took their catches .....

The only bad thing if the boys do well it covers up slightly the problems we have atm .....

btw congrates to BRMT on the baby boy Mason Taylor future star of Zimnbabwean cricket ( hopefully ) .....

It's a shame BRMT and Williams aren't playing because we're in a good position but we will be relying on Hami n Vusi for runs I cant see Tino making many since he has had no cricket in months, I fear if Vusi and Hammie fall we're in big trouble .....

Batting last will also be difficult with the 3 spinners .....

How long is the break between innings? That should temper some of the first hour swing

[CrimsonAvenger]

Elton Chigumbura has to stand up and be counted in this test match as a batsman. His bowling is all gone, and he has to make telling contributions with the bat.
