*Official* Zimbabwe in Sri Lanka 2017

[Prince EWS]

Would be something if they win here. I can't remember the last time they won outside of Zimbabwe or Bangladesh.

They've only ever done it once I think - in 1998, against Pakistan.

Omg this was so good. One of the best runouts ever

Cremer finally has his bowling average below 50. I feel like he has the tools to finish his career in that 34-36 type bowling average.

Looks like herath going to bundle out zim for 100, will be pretty easy to beat sl in sl after heraths retirement

 

[Daemon]

fatty y u do dis. Was hoping for 250 to be set like what happened against Pakistan.

Herath is worth his (ample) weight in gold to the SL team.

 

[Black_Warrior]

Scored with the bat too

 

[Daemon]

best all rounded player

Just noticed Kusal Mendis doesn't have a bowling style listed for him, not sure I've seen this before (not for an international cricketer, anyway)

 

[_Ed_]

Bloody good test, this.

 

[Bijed]

I can see they've got a 3 test series against India coming up, but does anyone know what other tests SL have got lined up after that? Just thinking that since he's 39, Herath might not be playing for much longer (hope he goes on for a while yet though) as was just looking to see how far up the career wicket rankings he could feasibly get.

 

[vcs]

He's 39 in normal years, in Fatty-years, he's actually 25, since he bends space and time around him with his Roundness.

 

[DriveClub]

A target of 250 could be interesting

 

[Fuller Pilch]

If these two can bar out the day, I'd say Zim are favourites

 

[vcs]

This has been great by Zimbabwe. Hope they can set them 300.

Yea that's top notch. I guess it won't happen very often because it's usually a lot easier to just get up and throw it to the keeper. But to do all that in one quick movement is impressive.

 

[fredfertang]

Is this being streamed on youtube?

Would much rather watch it than this tedium at Trent Bridge

 

[OverratedSanity]

This is a pretty fantastic partnership. Fatty needs some support.

 

[OverratedSanity]

I'm not watching the game but the cricinfo commentary makes it seem like SL have gone defensive with no close in catchers for Herath. That's not the way to go at this stage surely?

Thought Zimbos were gonna choke the third innings. Instead they've fought back brilliantly. 300 definitely defendable, hope they do.
