ICC Sim League XI

[jimmy101]

Not a bad effort from Zim. With Murray injured they were just one wicket away from exposing the tail at the end there. A few more runs would have made a lot of difference.

[AndrewB]

The runs (plus extras) in the Zimbabwe second innings add up to 276, not 244 (or 274 as the FoW suggests).

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Zimbos also batted the exact same number of overs in both innings. Is this a first in Test cricket?

 

[AndrewB]

Also, the NZ second innings should be 139-3, not 199-3.
