[Match Thread] OnIy Test: SL vs ZIM

[grant]

Williams gets Dickwella! We're still in the game! Some hope finally!

[pariah]

Cricinfo handle:

Asela Gunaratne might have saved Sri Lanka from an embarrassing loss with that innings! A fine fifty

N Dickwella c †Chakabva b Williams 81 (118b 6x4 0x6) SR: 68.64

A twist in the Test! Dickwella messes a reverse-sweep, and is caught-behind off Williams 324-6 chasing 388

I know we definitely should have brought Tendai Chisoro for this tour & played him in this match .....

Word. It didn't really see the point of bringing M'shangwe, to be honest, but Chisoro would have been a handful. Wouldn't have minded Welly either.

Guys please help with any streming.

Both Welly and Chisoro should be in the ODI side for sure. Same with Madziva.

Mushangwe did well in FC so had to be selected. On this dead pitch his leg spin would have been far more valuable them any offspin or left-arm spin.

Chisoro's value is in the new ball. What Cremer tried to do with Raza(becaus ehe;s too cowardl to do it himself and be pummelled into losing his confidence) is the role Chisoro was most suited to.

But again, Zimbabwe continues to suffer because a lot of these batsmen are not being played up the order and they justifiy it by saying they are "allrounders". The day Zimbabwe decides to play those privileged boys higher, is the day unfairly marginalised players like Chisoro, Wellington and Madziva finally come back into the national team. I posted their stats in another thread and all 3 should be in the ODI XI. That's a fact!

The team does seem unbalanced but everyone is making a contribution and can certainly hold onto their place. If these three are to come then who would be dropped? Am sure their time will come. What the team really needs some serious pace bowlers any idea on those?

[Conant]

Sri Lankan commentators, who pleaded reasonable doubt when they supported the third umpire's decision, keep harping on about Zimbabwe's missed chances (all only difficult half chances) to assuage their guilt at that rank stinking daylight robbery.

Oh, Regis for fuck's sake!
