[Match Thread] Zimbabwe v New Zealand: Test Match

[Jemisi]

Of the three departments, currently it is our fielding that is the furthest away from test class. We look worse than a poor Indian team in the field sometimes lately.

Was thinking the same. On our return to test cricket we have generally batted with patience, and for long periods (the collaps against Pakistan not withstanding - it has happened to better teams), and bowled with a lot of discipline, but our catching is nothing short of embarrasing. That drop by Regis was right out of the 'Kamral Akmal book of wicketkeeping'. And our captain is equally dropping sitters left right and center at slip.

I'm afraid a win is beyond us. But of course we can't shut up shot from the go. The instructions from the coaches will be to bat normally, whatever that means.

Oh, and I too have switched to cricket-365 when hitcric choose to entertain us with some Indian advertisement voice-overs.

Oh. Yes. It did remind one of Kamran.

I'm off to bed folks, happy watching, and go Zim.

That was a terrible lbw decision on Sibanda.

[foreignfield]

Does anyone else think that this match is another advertisment for DRS? Although the bad decisions seem to even themselves out, as was the case with Sibanda here.

[eugene]

I can't understand why anyone wouldn't want the DRS.

[maehara]

If only ZC could afford it...

Pay the players, buy DRS... Pay the players, buy DRS... No, wait, can't afford to do either. Nuts.

Unless he will be considered for the new zealand tour based on form for the australian club side, Hope this is not due to pay, if it is dam you ZC you have chased away one of our best players. I suppose Duffin could fit into the openers slot but I dont want to see Sibanda leave international cricket, Hope some ZC fans tweet Senator coltart and get to the bottom of it, Im sure its not down to improving his skills he is playing at the highest level

Hope ZC make a statement on this to aleviate our fears

[zimfan1]

Incidently this is Tino's highest score in any form of cricket since his 100 against Pakistan

[eugene]

ZC desrve everything they get i fplayers walk out on them. The ones who don't deserve this are the players and the fans.
