Bit gutted that Jarvis' pace was down. I guess the Jarvis of 2009/11 is well and truly in past.
You'd like to think that, with a bouncier track, he'd be a bit sharper.

I think the danger may come from the part time offies of Chase and Braithwate after lunch. Mire and Masakdza looked uncomfortable with the ball spinning into them with a short leg and leg slip.

They hadn't seen much if anything of them, so let's hope they can work out a way to combat the threat.

Mpofu has been a good servant for zim cricket but maybe time to move on. Ngarava and chatara either or could play next test

They just need to take it session by session. Good start so far but there is still a monumental effort required For us to stand even the smallest chance. We can only lose about 3 wickets max today. It's still very interesting because of the amount of time left will make sure there is a result even if we are scoring at 2 an over and not losing wickets for the next 4 sessions

Yet you attack Phehlukwayo who's faster than Jarvis. I don't think you know what you want.

Both Chatara and Shingi are faster that Jarvis from the looks of things.

Jarvis not much faster than Panyangara on average now.

To think he's younger and taller one has to worry about the level of investment put into him.

And out come the reverse sweeps.

Do I sniff a bit of early desperation in that review?

Phelukwayo isn’t a good domestic player. Stats prove that. He’s rubbish.

This Alan Wilkins is now talking about Shannon Gabriels inflamed tonsils when appealing! Hahaha
