Please come back Graeme cremer. You always need a leg spinner in your test side to offer something different and a wicket taking option. Ndlovu neither has control or is particularly penetrative

Or we should at least persevere with Brandon Mavuta. Far more upside than Ndlovu.

Good day for BD. They are in the driving seat.

Zimbabwe are missing Cremer badly. He was a really good bowler.

Bad day for us. Give Tshuma the new ball. He might do some damage. He is getting more confident as the game progresses. Nyauchi and Don are too similar for me. Ainsley struggling. Tomorrow will be tough

[TapsC]

Looking back at our innings the turning point was BT giving his wicket away. I dont blame him for what he did because had he succeeded we would have scored big. It just didn't pay off this time.

Two different captains and neither are giving Ainsley many overs. Back in the day someone would have pulled that card faster than Billy The Kid. It’s a not very subtle way of telling Makoni’s gophers that they’ve made a poor selection.

Fantastic 265 all out

I didn't expect too much when I saw our batting line-up included three number 11s!

Again this shows how stupid the selectors are, or that they don't care about the result. At Logan Cup level both Raza and Williams bowl before Ndlovu, that's telling you something.

They should have swallowed their pride and picked Chisoro, just like they should have swallowed their pride and picked Moor instead of Maruma, Zimbabwe play such precious little Test cricket it's frustrating that in these few chances we have to see them play, they pick the wrong players.

Again another simple error in selection that we all saw before the 1st Test v Sri Lanka that the selectors haven't been able to address in 3 Tests!!!

Mumba and Chisoro would have given the batting extra depth, playing with three No.11s is suicide
