[Match Thread] Zimbabwe vs Sri Lanka: 1st Test | Harare

[Jemisi]

6 sessions to 2 after that one. Record partnership down the order to rescue us from some dodgy middle order shenanigans.

Cremer's driving has been as good to watch as any batsman worth the name.

The Moor-as-an-opener movement might gain momentum after that knock. Chari out, Chakabva in. Moor promoted?

Cremer's average up to 13 now. Interestingly, since Zim's Test resumption his average is 22 which is reflective of where I think he's at as a bowling allrounder.

[Jemisi]

Yeah, Moor and Tino together with Regis at 7.

Or leave Moor where he is to counterattack down the order and get Raza to open with Tino.

I have long called for Moor to open, although since he his flourishing down the order I would be reticent to move him.

The one name we've all neglected to mention so far is Daniel Jakiel.
He could plug two holes... gun opening batsman and awesome speedster.

His meteoric rise is such that if he was thrown the gloves he'd probably excel at that too.

[Jemisi]

Bit worried by his response to those short balls.

[Jemisi]

Moor that is, not Jakiel. Jakiel would put them into the stands of course.

[Jemisi]

Tiripano brings up the 300

[Mr Twig]

Moor failed opening in the ODIs. Keep him down the order

If Chari fails in the 2nd innings, Raza and Mawoyo to open

This is a batting paradise. How did Chari/Ervine/Williams/Waller fail to cash in on this track?
