It's been awhile since the last Ervine vs Matsi debate ...

i'm not talking Matsi ... no reason to flog a dead horse (regardless of who killed it!)

Well one thing is for sure, Jarvis is better than Rainsford.

of course you would .. in Zim cricket the grass is always greener

What's with the obsession with run rate on the commentary?

I couldn't care less what the run rate is as long as these two make it through to stumps. It's all about time and survival. Odds are we'll need a Faf du Plessis like 2-day-effort in the fourth innings to save the match, so every over we bat now is one less we have to worry about later.

I think we are going well. If anything, Taylor and Waller proved that its not the run rate that counts but staying on and building a nice partnership..

The grass certainly is greener when your current grass is fat and useless.

Got nothing against Dion Ebrahim, but Taylor needs to at the very least overtake him during this innings for us to stand a chance:

Peterhouse U14C 4th change bowler and no. 10 batsman (but only because Aaron didn't have a bat).
