A few quick wickets that gets us into this tail could really liven this test up.

IDK why, but I feel like Ndlovu could take a wicket any time now. Maybe I'm just anxious. Or maybe its because Jaybro has been hyping up how bad Ndlovu is.

I’ll keep doing my bit, he’s average you have nothing to worry about

Maybe he was talking to some Zimbabwean coaches and players who told him ‘you’ve done your job if you get 50’.

I was just thinking about that. The leading ZIM batters actually have a decent number of Test tons now:

Taylor - 6
Ervine - 3
Williams - 2
Raza - 1
Chakabva - 1

You have factor that they have played very few Tests, so those numbers are not bad.

They also have decent averages...Taylor, Ervine, Raza all average around 35 and Williams now averages 30 I think and rising. Yet Zimbabwe rarely ever scores 400 in an innings, forget about 500 (which is actually tough to do even on a flat wicket against a poor bowling attack). Why?

The reason is, for some weird reason the ZIM batters rarely bat as a unit. They only score runs one man at a time. Its remarkable really.

That's not too bad from Tshuma. One or two wickets before close of play puts us on equal terms. But it'll be hard.

Thought Mushy was in trouble there. That was really close.

Tshuma looks good.

Tshuma starting to really get into some rhythm now

Ndlovu has bowled one good ball where he went through Shanto, but he’s bowling flat darts not looking threatening at all

How come Mudzinganyama is fielding?

Prince got hit on the hand when Ndlovu bowled a half tracker

What is it with our openers and getting injured on the field?! Can he bat next innings?
