You're very generous. Very generous!

Craig 7 - Virtually made this a Test match single-handedly. If he didn't turn up, this was going to be a 3 dayer.
Raza 6 - Sri Lanka gave Zimbabwe a chance with their poor 1st innings, and he made sure Zimbabwe took it to some extent.
Cremer 5 - Expensive bowling with on average 2/3 decent balls an over. Poor captaincy 0/10 as a captain. His thinking, or lack of it affected the match greatly.
Tiripano 4 - Not his fault the captain didn't use him properly, but was excellent and assured with the bat.
Malcolm 4 - Was brought in to bat and bowl. Batting at 8 he didn't cash in when he needed to, plus didn't bowl at all.
Chakabva 4 - in Terms of Tests a senior in the side who was foolish to agree to open 2nd innings. Spectecular keeping followed up by substandard keeping.
Mpofu 3 - Also not his fault the captain didn't use him properly, but was as good as Sri Lanka seamers when called upon.
Moor 2 - Should never have been part of the XI. Failed to cash in after getting a good start.
Hami 1 - A senior of the side. Allowed himself to be pushed around without asserting himself both in demanding the right batting position or demanding to bowl.
Musakanda 1 - Looked the best bastman on this tour during the ODIs and easily Zimbabwe's best batting product in well over a decade but was wasted.
Williams 0 - Was mediocre. Simply didn't care with his batting effort and his bowling. Went about through the motions without adding value.

Coach Heath Streak 0 - Had no plan, team setup was [athetic, and whatever he discussed with the players each time overnight must've been junk.
