Right, another 120 runs each from Taylor and Williams, and we're home!

is it just me or does it look like samuels is chucking

[grant]

how as bt given out? didn't look very convincing to me

12 months ago I would have said no, but under the "new regime": yes.

Yes, that was ridiculous. But it is something that seems to have crept in quietely over time: On-field decisions on catches, edges, gloves/fore-arms overturned on poor evidence while Hawkeye still needs the extra evidence of more than half the ball hitting to overturn a decision.

We definitely got the wrong end of the DRS stick today.

I agree

Williams I guess is playing one of the finest innings I have seen a Zim Boy play in a long time
Mangogo must be hiding under his bed these days

Had Taylor not been given out the way he was, we would have been in with a chance...I think we still have a very outside chance...We have the great Matsi :p

[grant]

oh dear, williams departs

[Ming]

Damn, Williams goes.

Matsi, we're counting on you!
