Good bowling change, Martin takes a wicket fourth ball.

Not really, just a basic off-side line.
Would have been nice if he threw in a few bounces, but just some good tidy bowling.

Ferreira on a well-paced 44-ball one

Classy strokeplay.

 

[Shane Warne]

What a joke this is.

 

[andyc]

Classy strokeplay.

Must just be playing himself in. Surely after another few hundred balls or so he might start lashing out with a boundary or two

 

[andyc]

my god. really hitting out with four in six balls!

 

[_Ed_]

He's really put his foot on the accelerator now, yeah.

 

[andyc]

What a joke this is.

agreed. in two days we've seen the best and worst of cricket

 

[Chubb]

This is a terrible match but Ferreira is being sensible. There is no point in going after anything outside off, that's how he got out in the first innings. He is learning to play at this level. Good luck to him.

 

[meatspx]

Nothing wrong with a little bit of the old school.

 

[andyc]

i really hope they can last out the day

 

[Chubb]

Ferreira gone, from this test I'd say he's a poor man's Gripper, who is himself a poor man's Richardson.

 

[_Ed_]

Masakadza playing some very good shots.

 

[crickhowell]

84-6 i know this match was a forgone conclusion months ago but did anyone expect it to be this comprehensive?

 

[NZTailender]

I didn't expect it to be this comprehensive. I thought Zimbabwe would've at least reached 200 in 1 innings.


Vettori...1 more for 200!!!!

 

[_Ed_]

It could quite likely end today, one more wicket and the captain is allowed to take the extra half hour at the end of play.

that last wicket might not come though, streak can be a real bugger sometimes in positions like these and Taibu isnt a bad bat either, i actually think they could both bat further up the order

 

[_Ed_]

That's true, but neither managed to do much in the first innings.
