The Zimbabwean batters have given a good account of themselves. Some respectable contributions from everyone in the top 6 across both innings.

I know Weve lost by an innings but we haven’t overly disgraced ourselves. Most of our players showed good glimpses at times. Plenty to work with and hopefully we will see a further improvement at home against SA and NZ.

For the first time in a long time the bowling is more of a worry than the batting.

Curran has looked highly out of sorts, I'm not convinced at all by him, but grinding it out and battling is a real skill and he seems to have it in buckets. Hope he keeps fighting this afternoon.
He isnt that good at all but can apply himself

I wonder if that’s the last we see of either Craig or Raza in Tests? Hopefully not.

There's definitely positives to take away from this game from a batting POV, Brian is pure gold, Willo is aging like wine but the fact is that we've had two innings defeats in our last two Tests and that is just woeful.

I mean really Williams. Ervine and Raza should have been allowed to retire by now. They and we need to look to the future over the next ten tests. Players like Bennett, welch, any other fast bowlers , that leg Spinner need to be looked at as the future.

Ervine needs to retire
