Zimbabwe vs England | Only Test | 22 - 25th May 2025

This is so painful to watch. Erratic bowling. I wonder if the lads will make it to day 3, that’s when I’m going to the ground to watch

[Mr Twig]

Chivanga bowling at high 120s/low 130s. I think his fastest ball was 135 and even at that speed he’s spraying it. Not a good sign I was expecting 140-145

Probably going to declare after Pope gets his century or they reach 400 out of mercy

[Googly]

Ya OP gets his 100 and Stokes will call them off.

Bear in mind this is how we usually bowl, a pile, but amongst it we have some wicket taking deliveries. Today has not been our day. Blessing has bowled well.

Are we actually cooked?

Maybe after Root gets his hundred. He was the guy I was expecting to get a big hundred against us.

Chivanga bowled 140 kph in his second ball of first over.

Chivanga got one at 138 I guess. But he is far from his best. He peaked during that Ireland test and hasnt been back to his best since. One cant help but feel that even Nyamhuri could have put in a better shift here.

What they should be doing is recalling Evans for the next depressing game, but they won't. It is now surely clear as mud that he's what we need. Or Gimu? And talk to Higgins.
But we need some control amongst our seamers.
This has to surely be an Oh Fuck moment?

This game has highlighted our bowling woes, which have been well disguised with wicket taking deliveries in the past.
