Mire is not a test opener, doesn't mean he won't have some successes but test opener he is not.

That being said, other than Mawoyo we don't have any test openers.

True. The answer could be in the XI already though - Mire and Raza swap places?
Providing Mire ends up being a Test quality batsman of course.

I don't know. These two could form a good partnership across formats, I reckon.

Nice conservative SIX there in the final few balls.

A great day for Zimbabwe. Why don't we play more tests, they may be our strongest format.
