Sikander Raza must replace Vusi now and we should bring back Williams

Nah, we need to stick with Sibanda. An opening combination of Maruma and Raza is pretty frightening.
Sibanda is one big innings away from hitting top form. It's a real shame he didn't push on in this innings though, considering the match situation there should be less pressure now than the first innings.

LOL, "bowling for wickets" says the commie.

Williams needs to come back for one of these players, but I don't think it should be Vusi. Elton or Maruma. Timycen has the chance to make some here and get himself another game.

Geez, Masakadza out now.

Need Taylor to put another big score together.

calm heads required now, no need to panic. vusiz form is really troubling, average plummeting by the innings. if we manage to score 150+, the game is safe, hope we give our bowlers a fair chance

Yeah, geez I hope Zimbabwe don't implode here. As you say, they only need a pretty modest total to make the game safe. But if we get bundled for 60 or 70 or something then it leaves the door open...

What I meant was Raza-Masakadza as openers

[Jemisi]

Holy Moly. Not a good start from two of our big three.

[foreignfield]

Well, we managed to transfer all the pressure back onto ourselves in no time.

[TheBradDevil]

oops, same old same old. these guys just wanna keep wrecking your nerves, cant stay on top for 2seconds. we need a good show from our middle order

[TheBradDevil]

batting again was the correct decision, we need to back it up by batting out at least 2 sessions, leaving 4-5 for the bowlers
