*Official* Zimbabwe in Sri Lanka 2017

[Daemon]

Waller did better against SL than Singapore. SG bowling attack > SL confirmed.

Good day again from Zimbabwe, should be favourites from here.

 

[DriveClub]

What a day for Zimbabwe cricket

 

[weldone]

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

don't know how I'm controlling myself from cracking a 'black hole' joke

 

[weldone]

How is the pitch looking?

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Zimbabwe going strength to strength this tour. Test win here will be huge.

 

[fishyguy]

Really hoping Zim wins this one!

 

[Black_Warrior]

Incredible fightback this from Zimbabwe. 4 down for nothing against Herath and to come back from there to set up the match

 

[Black_Warrior]

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.

There should be 3 tests against Pakistan in October

 

[Burgey]

What a great effort by the Zimbobs. These test matches where each side makes 300-400 first dig are often the best.

How many more do they need to feel comfortable with two full days still to go?

 

[Black_Warrior]

With 4 down, I would say as much as they can get..wouldn't even consider a declaration here

 

[cnerd123]

I was so excited that BD could do something so special like beating SL in SL

And here are Zimbabwe doing it and they didn't even need a Test to warm up first.

Extremely impressive

 

[cnerd123]

wtf was the point of Perera bowling the first over if Herath was going to come on to bowl the 3rd anyways?

SL are weird af

 

[DriveClub]

If zimbabwe can add another 100 they will be favs, now since the pitch looks like it's eased up match might be in the balance

 

[cnerd123]

Nathan: "Did they want Herath specifically from this end? Because since he bowled the last over yesterday he couldn't bowl the first from this end today which might explain it" --- Seems like it, yes.

that seems like it

Maybe they're better than Bangladesh.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Maybe they're better than Bangladesh.

Judging from test performances in SL they're definitely better than Australia.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

How does Raza look technique and style wise?

 

[quincywagstaff]

Judging from test performances in SL they're definitely better than Australia.

Looking over their home Test results this decade Sri Lanka have been surprisingly patchy and ordinary overall, which just makes Australia’s efforts there last year even worse.

Oh dear, that sounds like a horrendous shot from Waller. After all that good work.
