*Official* New Zealand in Zimbabwe 2025 (Tests)

[_Ed_]

Duffy's on the board!

Anyway, I hope a couple of Zimbabweans can get through the hard overs and put up a score here. They've looked unreasonably dreadful against the new ball at 135kph (which I guess is to be expected when you're senile or club-level, though).

It’s ok for South Africa to be thrashing Zimbabwe a short while ago, but NZ should have sent a development team. Seems like a double standard.
The point of the tour is to get the test outfit together under Walter and keep the muscle memory ticking along in this period we have to get through before a big run of tests in 2026.

Brian Bennett bags a pair for the match.

South Africa did send a development team lol.

Maybe those matches shouldn’t have had test status.

Some **** batting from raza

i think I have said on here that the NZ SA series at the start of last year with an SA not even second string XI was a joke as supposedly test matches. Can’t see much different in criticising games v Zim.

Zim have been pathetic ..
And it's justified because they are an old team, but their senior players have played like amateurs..They are lucky NZ are nice guys

I think that's about to be broken.

Biggest win for anyone after losing 3 wickets in a test is an innings and 264 runs (Pak v Bang 2001)

In 4 games, teams have won after only losing 2 wickets

 

[SteveNZ]

The live win predictor on Google says Zimbabwe are a 0.6% chance of winning. So if we played 200 Tests out from this point, 390 runs behind with 2 wickets to go, they'd win one of them. That'd be a day, wouldn't it

I never thought CW would be the place I heard about that. I thought that must be a joke, or a meme, or something. My god

That's an unbelievably poor prediction lmao.

Google obviously doesn't rate our team - 3 bowlers on debut and an old batting lineup
