What exactly would Rainsford and Panyangara have done? Rainsford would have broken down with an injury by during day one and Panyangara would have sprayed the ball all around the place.

Not that I think they are the next best thing after sliced bread, but exaggeration the other way hardly does your case any good...and what kind of person talks about injury that way? I mean Jarvis had his fair share, how would we all feel if someone talked about him the way you talk about Rainsford's injuries...fairness and a bit of sensitivity please people, lets have intelligent arguments, either way...

If Zimbabwe can get to stumps with say, another 10 runs on the board and no more wickets falling - Zimbabwe's day?

Concerns about a player's fragility based on their injury history are valid.

:4: to bring up a half-century for Sibanda. As the umpires look keen to stay out there, perhaps a century is on the cards before stumps? :lol:

Good knock, well played :D

Well done Vusi, now let's get a big one, decent day overall, delicately poised, but Kiwis have the runs on the board...

We took 7-150 and managed 1-82. I think we probably won the Day. We lost yesterday by a good margin though, so still behind at this stage.

Good to see Sibanda make it past the 50 mark before stumps. Hami seems to be going ok. They need a big partnership tomorrow.
