[Conant]

Greg Lamb? EDDIE Rainsford?

[dilannaik007]

My sources tell me that the score is:

Pak 230 all out greg lamb 4 wkts njabulo ncube 2,eddie 1wkt
Zim a 30 fo 0,
chamu chibhabha and xxx Batsman on crease

This is stumps on day one. However, i cannot be 100% sure that this is the score but im pretty certain it is.

Hi all Iam from Pakistan. I am also a member @ pakpassion.net and we are confused whether the Pak score is 206/3 or 230 all out.
Can anyone PLEASE go to the stadium and provide updates?
We would be very grateful

Many thanks in advance

Under country fixtures, it seems Pakistanis were 222 all out and zim 30/0

Ed Rainsford back from injury! That's fantastic and Greg Lamb also in the mix. This should make the selection for the Test interesting.

[Boundary]

I like that Ervine is playing, it seems that everyone acknowledges he needs time on the crease but since Mutizwa and Waller are also playing, is that a shoot out for the Test spot? Mawoyo is playing as he needs game time before the Test but otherwise I think this is a genuine B team (ie. a proper Zim 'A', getting myself mixed up ). But it's good to see more names in the bowling mix, like Tiripano. We've got a few of these fast mediums, I hope we start to rake up the speeds bowled to 90 mph, but hopeful indeed.

Good to see Gregg Lamb grabbing 4 . Seems this would be the alarm for Mr Elton to step up his bowling and batting .

[Flower power]

Having Chibhabha show us what he has can also change our dimensions .

[Shasha]

This lineup's interesting we've got Rainsford,Waller,Ncube and Ervine all battling for a test call-up...
