[Match Thread] Zimbabwe v Pakistan (Only Test)

[brmtaylor.com admin]

In familiar territory unfortunately

Next to pass are:

102 vs West Indies, 2000
102 vs South Africa, 1999
102 vs Sri Lanka, 2004

And with the three figures, at least we move away from "calls to revoke Test status" to merely "deeply embarrassing".

Sri Lanka made just 105 the other day, so it would be nice to pass that so Zimbabwe don't have the distinction of lowest score of the year.

Taibu=Jonathan Trott and Jarvis=Stuart Broad...oh, just remembered there were match fixers in that test...

Fingures crossed 1 away, with two wickets in hand...

It would be really good if we could somehow push this into the 5th day, but it would require not losing any more wickets for the rest of the day. 11 overs is a long time.

119 vs New Zealand, 2000 is next on the list.

It's a bit harsh of the commentators to critize Taibu for farming the strike with over a day to spare.

If Jarvis can face 39 for 11, there's no excuse for the other batsmen. It was all because of the mindset I suppose. Taibu's experience is showing a bit here.

Can we last to close of play? Will Taibu get a deserved 50? Fingers crossed....riveting stuff...why couldn't any of the top order do this, not all of them just a couple!!!!

Yeah, imagine even if it was just 3 down now. There'd be at least an outside chance of pulling off a draw. I certainly hope Zimbabwe can hold out until stumps... playing into the fifth day would be a good result now. Taibu deserves a fifty.

Any chance of rain in Bulawayo tomorrow?

Jarvis has lasted 20 balls vs Ajmal,including a 4! What is wrong with everyone else?
