Only Test: New Zealand v Zimbabwe at Napier Jan 26-30, 2012

[skeepe]

The big question is will the Zimbots reach 50?

 

[Meth]

Matizwa gone, b Martin. 8/2

 

[Meth]

Taylor to the crease. He's the hope of Zimbabwe

 

[skeepe]

3 down now.

 

[Meth]

H. Masakadza gone. c Brownlie b Boult for 0

8/3

 

[skeepe]

These two have faced 14 balls in this partnership now, making it the longest of the innings.

 

[Meth]

So who replaces Taylor for the ODI's?

 

[skeepe]

I really don't think the Zimbots will reach 50 here

 

[Meth]

Guptill is one of the best slip fielders in the world.

 

[Meth]

19/5

This is absurd

 

[Earl]

5/19

NZ have 3 slips and 2 gully's but the way the Zimbots are edging them they still don't have enough in the cordon

 

[skeepe]

Take nothing away from New Zealand, but Zimbabwe clearly should not have test status.

 

[Earl]

Brendan McCullum must read these forums cause they now have 4 slips and 2 gully's. No gaps.

They must have heard you, another slip in now.

 

[Wooden Spoonar]

Be a tough choice whether to enforce the follow on for the Kiwis.....

 

[African Monkey]

I'm prepared to cut Zimbabwe a bit of slack as it is their first test away from home in 10 years so it was never gonna be easy for them and they have shown good signs while playing at home. You could tell by most of their dismissals that they never play out of Zimbabwe.

 

[Squeezer]

Have any of the Zimbo batsmen cracked double figures yet?

 

[Twizzle]

5/20

highest score is 9

 

[Meth]

No. Taylor top scored with 9

 

[JJ]

33/6 they are recovering now
