Can't judge Tiripano. Half batter Half Bowler ? Allrounder ? Bits & Pieces ? Gentle Medium, Military Medium, one who balls spin by running a yard

Am I the only one who thinks Tiripano hasn’t bowled well at all this match? Fair enough he’s gotten the wickets but I reckon he’s been pretty ordinary.

Funny game cricket, Tiripano bowled much better in the series v Sri Lanka but got like 1 or 2 wickets, this game he’s bowled trash but he’s gotten three wickets.

Blessing & Ngarava need some decent coaching, they both have the tools but they don’t know how to use them. We’ve said it a million times but Hondo really needs to go!!!

Innings defeat coming up I feel, especially if Prince can’t bat, Zim are already one down. Hopefully they can prove me wrong but I feel a really meek batting performance coming up.

I am banking on the rain which is forecast at 70% chance from around 12pm into the evening. That will buy us some time.

Well it did rain last night and it’s cloudy today. I’m hoping we get a morning session in these conditions then it rains from lunch onwards. That would be a perfect scenario

It won’t be easy going with the bat this morning

Pakistan might know the forecast and could declare overnight, or a few overs after start of play. That would pose a challenge then to push the game to tomorrow then, specially with Prince injured.

I agree that Zimbabwe's bowling attack in tests is weak and this is where Kyle Jarvis and Graeme Cremer have been badly missed, but for how long can they rely on Jarvis? Zim will have to unearth a few good bowlers, Blessing is one, they need a few more.

Read on Cricinfo that he was hit badly while fielding close in. Is he on the field today?

Two wickets in consecutive deliveries for Muzarabani! :W:
Finally, something to cheer about.
