[Match Thread] Zimbabwe v New Zealand: 1st Test

[eugene]

I hope Eugene is watching, because there's a bit of elegant, sweet-timing Ervine porn on show.

I love Craig Ervine. But this game is depressing so I am spending more time watching the Lions v Highlanders Super Rugby Semi. Go Lions!

[eugene]

Are Williams and Chakabva really not going to bat? Only Zimbabwe could lose two batsmen to injury in a match.

[Detective RDS]

Craig Ervine finishes the day with 49 not out. Hope he gets to triple digits. He is the best !

[Jemisi]

The sick blokes has better bat tomorrow. You can bat with flu.

Changes for 2nd test, mawoyo must come in for chari and it was evident that you have to play 4 frontline line bowlers in test match cricket so I would bring in nyumbu for chamu. After watching that innings from raza I think he should open he looks more comfortable against the new ball because opening bowlers pitch it up and it allows him to attack them putting them under pressure! Coming in, in the middle Order unset against a fresh Wagner bowling short he looked awful!

His my line up.

1.tino
2.raza
3.Hami
4.ervine
5.Willi
6.Prince
7.Regi
8.joe
9.donny
10.nyumbu
11.ncube/vitori

Two people get the sniffles during a test and can't play. What a joke.
Not one, TWO.

Williams is always injured for someone who doesn't play alot

I like that lineup.

Peter Moor needs to come in for Chari. Chakabva just needs to be ditched altogether.

They obviously never heard about a flu-ridden Michael Jordan leading the Chicago Bulls to an NBA championship.

I would like to have pj in the team but it's hard to fit him in there! Definitely should be next in line! Chari should not be given another go until he averages close to 30 in first class. In the bowling department we are really missing panyangara and chatara!
