*** Official *** - The Big One : Zimbabwe in South Africa

[stephen]

Zimbabwe are so bad now that I'm not sure they should have test status.

 

[cnerd123]

Can't wait for the ICC to spin this result into a sign that what we really need are 3 day Tests

 

[Second Spitter]

AB says 4 day cricket encourages positive game play.

It also encourages scamming fans out of two days of play by forcing your incomparably weak opposition to follow on.

AB is a credible authority on the future of Test cricket as much as Donald Trump is a credible authority on the subject of chastity.

 

[Bahseph]

Don't think there will be talk about them not deserving Test status right now. They were good against Sri Lanka and okay against the Windies. Probably should have beaten Sri Lanka to be fair.

Only on slow surfaces, they are dreadfull on any wicket that has some pace or seam movement.

Watch the Indian batting superstars getting rolled cheaply against this SA bowling, before passing judgement on Zimbabwean batting.

 

[Daemon]

Yeah it's the worst batting side against the best bowling side in conditions they aren't good in. Lets not call it curtains based on that.

 

[Heboric]

Zim did okayish in Sri Lanka, were competitive in that test match

 

[SeamUp]

Disappointing, expected more from Zim but they just could not handle the SA attack with so much movement for the pace bowlers.

Phehlukwayo batting needs to improve, can see he has the talent and striking ability to be a good number 7. I worry about his bowling because he needs to put that extra yard of pace on and just does not seem to be trying, had this issue for awhile now. With Mulder around and playing well, Phehlukwayo needs to really up his game to get in on merit in the next year.

Only way he can improve is time in the middle scoring runs and taking wickets. Just had a look - it seems like he will be able to fit in the final 3 rounds of Sunfoil Series when Australia are here. Will miss the 6th and 7th rounds during the India limited overs series.

 

[SeamUp]

It was brutal under lights for the Zimbo's

Robbed of a win by a terrible umpiring decision.

Just like England then
