*Official* New Zealand in Zimbabwe

[Flem274*]

At least we have a better attack than Sri Lanka. Marginally.

 

[Athlai]

Can't believe we're going to lose to Zimbabwe after how things were set up at the start of the day. ****ing hell.

hope you two aren't playing each other anytime within the next 7 years

 

[Tricia McMillan]

Why did I stay up for this again?

I'm all full of caffeine now so I couldn't fall asleep even if I wanted to.

Brendan Taylor has an average of 147 and rising in the 4th innings.

If they get to tea three down (and presumably about 100-110 to get) they're favourites. If it were any other nation - bar Bangladesh - you'd say it was in the bag.

 

[NUFAN]

I have this really strong feeling that Jeetan is about to get a wicket before the new ball is due.

 

[Daemon]

NZ regretting the declaration. Should've let Martin bat you ********.

AWTA. Have been worried about Patel all day for no logical reason.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Still reckon if NZ could winkle one out we might see a choke. Zimbas are practically Saffers, after all.

 

[_Ed_]

This is obscene. I've stopped watching, so hopefully that'll help.

 

[Nate]

Just seen the scorecard. C'mon Zimbos!

 

[Flem274*]

Seriously hate this attack right now. The extra batsman contributed nothing but catching practice and Guptill is bowling better than our supposed second best spinner in the country (he's not btw).

 

[Stapel]

This is simply turning into a great Test!

As has been said, the Zimbabwe tail is horrendous so that's always a possibility. They won't have won this until the final hour.

 

[BoyBrumby]

My word, Brownlie looks ordinary. Even for a fill-in.

Should see his epic quote about his bowling. Can't remember where it's posted.

 

[Prince EWS]

Was rated as an allrounder as a youngster in Perth, I believe, before he got injured and stopped bowling. You wouldn't know it watching though.

To be fair you can't afford to go into test matches without the likes of Southee and Ryder in the team as you haven't got the depth to cover the loss of them. When you are at full strength you will be back to being a tough side to beat who fight for everything. Not that that makes this game any easier to accept should you go on to lose.

 

[NasserFan207]

Don't see this being a draw. Zimbabwe will chase this down or collapse.

 

[Daemon]

Lovely backfoot punch.
