I dont agree with Ed. I think we might see a declaration now. Why let your seamers tire themselves out?

From a SA point of view, play the whole day today and come tomorrow refreshed. Use the morning conditions, and you have two damn day remaining!

I think Illingsworth has had 5 atrocious decisions so far and its only day 3 :lol: :lol: :evil: I've not seen that for a long time. You'd have to go back to Hare, Harper, Bucknor and a couple of the Pakistani umpires.

Still a long way to go to match Paul Reiffel.

ICC want test cricket to remain relevant for the second tier sides, one fine way of doing that, aside from giving the players some actual cash that their boards cant get their hands on, is to throw in DRS for free.
If you could compile a list of outrageous decisions Zim would be so far ahead of the next team it would be embarrassing.

Hopefully this is the last time we ever go into any game in any format with 2 seamers. Eva!!!!!
We need an all rounder badly!!!
Here's the list- Evans, Evans, Evans, Higgins, Higgins, Higgins, Gimu, Myers.
Myers is a good call actually. Bats well and used to be a decent bowler, despite his back breaking action.

I'd think Gimu is in with a shout next game.
Out of Gimu, Gwandu and Nyamhuri Id be very inclined to have a look at Gimu. We all want to see him.

Not sure why Craig has only got one slip to Blessing? You've got to back him not to bowl drive balls.
