[SillyCowCorner1]

Unrelated, but worth mentioning,

Shiv on his captaincy debut got a double century— 203*(370)

Tage made a double century as his maiden century

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Watchful start from Kaia and Makoni

More attritional cricket

Been busy and totally forgot about this test being on, just WOW from the WI openers.

Gary Ballance hiding at 5 behind nobodies. Should have fronted up and batted at 3 to save the match for Zimbabwe.

Captain Kraigg

That’s a big fish

I just realised there's a Wellington and Hamilton Masakadza and am disappointed their brother isn't named Auckland.

y not Christchurch?

y not Christchurch?

South Island, innit.

Could nearly make a Zimbabwe-NZ theme line up. After all, John Ballance was Prime Minister of NZ. Add a few letters and you might be able to include Innocent Kai-tai-a and his brother Roy.

Tag's Dad, Debut in 1994 but it took him 52 test innings & 36 mos to reach maiden hundred (137* vs Ind) in test while his son need only 5 innings & 2 mos to reach Maiden even DBL hundred milestone!

India's 537/3 Declared in 177 over at chennai

135 overs > 413
42 overs > 124 runs

Possible

I need link to verify koz 135 overs if true than its World record because shewag/ Dravid batted 76 overs ( 410) & Smith/McKenzie 94 overs (415) KB / Tag 114.1 overs (336)

Here it is

Marven Attapatu (207 not out)& Sanata Jayasurya (188) 1st wicket batted 114.2 overs some 23 years ago put on 335 runs ( vs Pak at Kandy ) in partnership bats 1 ball more but one run less than Tag/KB!

Impress the way both Debutant ( McKoni 33) & innocent k (59*) batted

Zim 114/3*
180 ovs remain

Zim 114/3*
180 ovs remain

I wonder can they bowl more than 180 overs over the course of the next two days?

 

[G. S. Kohli]

The simple method of calculating follow-on runs in a five-day Test match is subtracting 200 runs from the first-innings total 447-200

i doubt Zimbo can reach 248 'cause new ball with-in 24 ball away.

 

[ashley bach]

Pretty dull innings that from Wellington but guess the slow 45 run partnership has gone some way to giving Zim a chance to avoid the follow on,
which may well be enforced given there is some rain forecast tomorrow. Another grinding 40 run partnership could be required.

 

[Prince EWS]

Mavuta's really improved his batting so the next partnership could still get them over the line.

 

[CricAddict]

Not sure why Ballance didn't bat at 3 when he could bat this well. Still pissed off on that.

Plus Raza and Williams missing the rare test cricket.

Ballance still there.i think first time 2 Debutant Zimbabwe player hits 50 in same test !

D.Houghton only Zimbabwean who scored test century on Debut (121)
