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

[eugene]

Advertising for pace bowlers in the Gokwe Herald I don't think will work.
Having bowling clinics in Muzarabani will not unearth a 140 bowler unless he gets bitten by a tsetse fly on his scrotum in his delivery stride.
It's almost like advertising for a quality Test batsman in Gwanda.

This may be the post of the year.

uumm what were u guys expecting ?

Cumon ...its day 4 & we are still playing, get the
champagne out HooHooo. thats the spirit

Guys even if we are patriotic & emotional about our
team lets face it that is a full strength nz side boult,
southee, williamson, taylor, guptill,santner, watling
latham against zimbabwe... no matter what team we
could have fielded jarvis, balance, taylor, burl, taibu
price etc we would have been out of depth still so
lets savour the moment we are still alive in day 4 considering
the circumstances Yeeeeaaaaahhhh

Hope ervine keeps his cool ..was looking good there

Ervine gets his 50.

Make it a big one Craigy!

Edit: He's gone

Replay suggests he didn't hit it.

I seriously want to know on what basis these umpires are able to gauge whether these faint caught behind nicks as out standing 22 yards away Simply folding to overzealous appealing

God we have had some unlucky decision go our way! Williams in the 1st innings now Craig in the 2nd. Also I recon Prince was pretty unlucky with both his lbw decisions.

50 for Williams

We're showing some fight here. Good to see.

Anyone else hear BJ Watling over the stump mic to Williams? Went something like:

"Where are you going to go as a test nation if you're not playing any cricket"

[clikcspeed]

Finally a good session for Zimbabwe. 100/1, Williams showing his quality, Cremer hanging in there + the 50 for Craig.

I hope Williams can convert. We just need to improve on little metrics, so far 2x 50+ partnerships, 2x 50+ scores, runs/wicket slightly improved over 1st innings.
