Phelukwayo isn’t a good domestic player. Stats prove that. He’s rubbish.

This Alan Wilkins is now talking about Shannon Gabriels inflamed tonsils when appealing! Hahaha
I clocked that as well :lol:

I disagree that he's rubbish. I think he's got a lot of value in the limited overs formats because he can keep it tight and he can hit a long ball.

I just think, until his pace gets up at least, he'll be limited to those formats. He's not a test bowler, I don't think. He doesn't really move the ball much.
Jarvis does though, Pariah, and that's why Jarvis is test match quality bowler.

Damn. If someone had to go, I'd have preferred Masakadza kept batting because he was looking in great touch.

Well, the game starts in earnest now. Who is going to stand up? For us to get close we need someone to make 150.

Jee wiz that was a soft dismissal wasn't it..

Time for master Ervine to show his class. Well done though to these two, they nearly put on 100 alone.

Zimfan1's prediction has come true

These two need to put 100 on as well. If Taylor walks out to bat at 2/200 we might have a game on.

Mire with another two boundaries. Looks solid as a rock in defence. What a snaffle this guy's been

21 years old. The sooner you understand that the better!!!

It's a pity he didn't play in English conditions. You missed out of his ability to swing the ball in the flesh.

Well it was good while it lasted :lol:
Mire's definitely got something. He won't be a traditional opener but he's shown that he can provide something different at Test level.

Well, that's probably the game gone. But let's see how Taylor does now.

All the pressure on ZIM's best number 3 Craig, as well as the Messiah now.
