*Official* South Africa Test Tour of Zimbabwe 2025

It's great but damn this attack is horrid on a pitch not offering that steep bounce on a good length like in the first test. Especially with Blessing looking stiff from over one.

Agreed. It also does not cast a great look for what De Zorzi and Senokwane dished out in the first 30 minutes.

 

[Stefan9]

Pretorius out for 78. Got a bit impatient.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Yeah he really threw it away did young Pretorius, hundred on a silver platter gone a begging

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Well it's the highest score by a Test Batsman on captaincy debut. A 56 year Test record broken

 

[SeamUp]

How much time is left? Probably not enough time.

 

[Heboric]

I think Mulder is now top of the pops when it comes to highest score in first match as skipper

5pm SA time or 5.30pm with extra half hour

Ah damn Mulder gone

phew no ball

 

[SeamUp]

Crazy the size of that new ball after yorking Wiaan.

 

[Stefan9]

250 for wiaan. Well played

 

[SeamUp]

Wiaan Mulder has just made the 11th 250+ score by a South African. Recently his fellow St Stithians team mate, Ryan Rickelton, achieved the same.

Fun day at the cricket for Mulder.

Unbelievable, feel a bit sorry for Zim , they even put us into bat !

This is test cricket. Don't be sorry. Pile on. You guys are the world champs!

Seems to be a favourite habbit of captains putting the opposition in on flat ones.

Good chance for Mulder to break the highest score record then. Throwback to Hayden's 380 after being sent in to bat.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

We might get The Prince returning to our test squad soon then.

I hope they don't be silly and declare on Mulder, nobody will remember South Africa trouncing Zimbabwe by an innings, but having the chance to break a world record will have people all over the world talking about SA test team , that's the sort of publicity a side looking to play test cricket needs .

He is the skipper.
