*Official* Zimbabwe vs Westindies 2 Test : Feb 04-16, 2023 at Bulawayo

Great spirit from Zimbabwe, who we must remember are missing a few important players.

The pitch wasn't the best advert for cricket but both teams tried their best to make something happen.

Unfortunately we're not in the position to force test matches at the moment, we're in "becoming harder to beat mode." The presence of Reifer and Chase in the team continues to perplex, are we really going to play them in South Africa?

For the second test they should bring in Gabriel for Roach and Bonner for Reifer. I bet they won't though.

Hanif M./ Shoib M. ( Father / son ) joined by Shivnaraine.c /Tagnarine .C

Only twice happen when father & son both hits test DBL not such by other father / Son in test

Tag need 5 innings for DBL but Shiv need 135 innings for DBL

Roston Chase shuts the mouth of his critics with 6/3/9/2 wkts including Ballance

Zimbabwe blown away. Was the wicket especially taxing or did the Windies play at a higher level?
