[Prince EWS]

Deciding to bowl first is an interesting choice

Well its cloudy

 

[chris.hinton]

The road to Ashes win starts here, Can't see England being all out for less than 600 a chance for players to add to their test average. Australia will be worried

 

[Chubb]

They’ve already made a massive selection mistake that tail is abysmal and Welch was in good form and has experience in the UK.

I always avoid listening to pre match commentator bullshit, montages and feature interviews personally.

Didn't see their team. Welch shouldn't have been dropped

Curran
Bennett
Ervine
Williams
Raza
Madhevere
Tsiga
Ngarava
Muzarabani
Chivanga
Nyauchi

 

[Chubb]

Chivanga is a decent bowler but they should have kept the batting as strong as possible.

 

[chris.hinton]

How many cases has their been where Brothers have played for different test nations ?

Could have played Welch for Madhevere too I suppose

 

[chris.hinton]

Actually happened more often than i thought

Which cricketing siblings have played for different international teams?

The Currans became the most recent additions to the list of siblings who have played for different international teams

Pattinson brothers was the only one I could think of off the top of my head

Wish Tom or Sam played in this test.

Madhevere is in decent form.. Welch should have definitely played ahead of Chivanga..big selection blunder.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Zim will win

 

[CricAddict]

England batters are not going to Crawl like a Duck here. They'll be Stoked to prove a point to be deep Rooted to the crease and Gus through the day like a Brook with several Jammy innings. Even the Pope can't save the Zimbos getting Bashed. England bowlers will be wagging their Tongue at this batting line-up as well. Zimbabwe are Cooked here.

An original pj from me. Hope not too bad

 

[Chin Music]

I will confess I did not know that the test match was taking place at Trent Bridge and assumed it was at Lord's! That said, I have been to TB a fair few times over the years and like it as a place and a town to watch cricket.

 

[CricAddict]

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.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Annoyed Crawley is playing but expected it.

 

[CricAddict]

Watching the test match on TV right now. So far, the pacers have bowled well. Blessing is a good bowler.
