Test squad Zimbabwe (and let’s make it the match thread)

[Nasser Butt-Head]

Century partnership up. Fill your boots lads!
I know it's only Zimbabwe, but I love watching this England team when in full flow. Game just races along like it's on fast forward.

 

[Classic94]

Creepy could average 50+ after this innings.

 

[jaxaxe]

Too early to think of Crawley getting a ton ?

Or will e contrive to screw it up against this popgun attack ?

 

[Monument View]

Watching batsmen knock poor bowling all round the ground is not an enjoyable or entertaining spectacle.Now if it had been Cummins or Hazelwood that would be a different matter

 

[scotch]

Pleased to be playing Test ricket against other nations BUT this bowling attack wouldn't be good enough for County second XI

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

26 overs in a session is ridiculous

 

[MustardAndOnions]

It's a low bar

Unlike their average

Which isn’t low

Best in the world for me consistently

 

[HeroHurley]

26 overs in a session is ridiculous

Fat chance of getting through the extended 96 overs a day. Game could be over by then anyway.

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

Looking like a good toss to lose

Well they've just been beaten by what was virtually a County 2nd XI. Whilst I'm all for giving the lesser nations their game at Lord's surely our test regulars would get practise playing in the CC and playing future test hopefuls in this game.

And this one isn't even at Lord's

 

[MustardAndOnions]

good to see people as positive as ever on here.

 

[jaxaxe]

Zimbo bowler broken down

Driven off the pitch in a open-topped milk float

 

[Parkside]

good to see people as positive as ever on here.

Difficult for any positives to be gained from this game with the opposition so weak

 

[Scotty 1978]

It’s time for a league system for test match cricket, Durham would beat Zimbabwe comfortably, have 2 leagues with promotion and relegation

 

[Hongkongphooey]

Zimbabwe look like an average club team, the buffet is well and truly open with their bowling attack.

 

[Inside Forward]

What’s the point in a game like this?

 

[MustardAndOnions]

Great

 

[chopsfc007]

Nothing to be negative about either

 

[Parkside]

Great

Pleased someone is finding it so.
