*Official* Sri Lanka vs Zimbabwe 2019/20

[NUFAN]

Second Test has started.

Zim, nought for 4 off 7.3 overs.

 

[Prince EWS]

Straight outta hospital to score a Test ton with bronchitis? Ain't nobody got time for that.

Nobody but Sean Williams that is.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Have Zim ever scored more in a day's play? That's brilliant. Really hope they can get another 100+ runs.

 

[jimmy101]

Great stuff from Williams & the other Zim batsmen. Particularly severe treatment of danger-man Embuldeniya by the looks.

 

[OverratedSanity]

The big question is was this enough to impress weldone.

 

[Shady Slim]

there’s so much promise on this zim team... i’ve always said teams touring a country with a nearby minnow should just do away with pointless warm ups against lancashire u21 2nd xi and just play a test or even a four day game against the local minnow, because with the exposure to worldclass attacks the minnows will only exponentially grow in their skill level

teams going to south africa can play zimbabwe
teams going to england can play ireland
teams going to australia can play nz
teams going to india can play afghanistan or even a four dayer against hong kong
really think it would be great for the game and there’s no negatives to this only positives genuinely

They coming to the West Indies, they can stop by the Fort Lauderdale ground and play the US.

 

[jimmy101]

Opening the bowling with Raza was an odd, yet surprisingly effective choice.

 

[TT Boy]

Tiripano‘s figures are outrageous.

Uh you had to write such a long post just to trash NZ!

 

[NUFAN]

Sikandar is the new Shakib of the world.

This is a mighty inpressive effort from Zim. Hope they focus again when they bat.

 

[Howe_zat]

I was very excited by the score, hoping some new Zimbabwe bowler had cracked the Sri Lankan batting

Turned out they all just got out to Sikander Raza which is kind of a disappointment

I'm expointed

 

[slippy888]

Are Zim a better test team than South Africa currently

 

[marc71178]

Are Zim a better test team than South Africa currently

No

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Lead of 175 with 9 wickets left. Can they bat SL out of the game? Just need to bat for 2 and a bit sessions.

 

[jimmy101]

Viva La Raza! Sikandar Raza, of course.

 

[cnerd123]

Raza is a gun

 

[weldone]

Ahead by 292 with 5 wickets in hand on lunch day 4. All 3 results are still very much possible. This match has started so much better than the last one. Hope it has a tense ending like the last one too.

Rain going to spoil it
