*Official* Zimbabwe in England (One Off Test)

[Chin Music]

Feel like it's a good decision by Zimbabwe to bowl first. They have nothing to lose. If they can somehow avoid the follow on, they can put England under time pressure to set an achievable target since it is a 4 day test.

Realistically, they need to take wickets this morning as it is likely to be more batting friendly in the afternoon.

Almost had the Nepo Baby twice there.

It's a good crowd for a Zimbabwe test. Credit to the English audience.

Does Crawley usually end up so far across when he's playing the ball? His back leg is either on off or further across when he's meeting the ball today b

Too easy, England will come out without helmets

TBF England should go for 1000 runs and break the record. Going at 4-5 an over we should do it in 2 days and have 3 to bowl Zimbabwe out twice

No worries....Sit back and enjoy people, The new era is happening and its going to be fun

Is this a stat padding session?

I don't mind if it gets Duckett clear blue water ahead of 40 as he should be averaging well above that anyway. Crawley and Pope are going to statpad though.

The record for the highest opening partnership at Trent Bridge is 329. Geoff Marsh & Mark Taylor vs England 1989

 

[mackembhoy]

England highest opening partnership is 359

Hard to see them not getting it

Already turning into a bit of a useless mauling, this.
