Zimbabwe's tour of South Africa

[LiveLoveABD]

First ever four day test played under lights with a pink ball today.

This might be the way forward for tests.

It also marks the return of SA's legends to test cricket in Abraham Benjamin De Villiers as captain and Dale Steyn!

I'm as excited as hell.

 

[Yash.]

I just want Zim to give a great fight!

I'll take an innings defeat and a century from the great man, thank you!

 

[Markkkkk]

I can see Bavuma getting another pointless 100 and cementing his place for the next 20 tests because of it

Good aggressive captaincy and a perfect decision to declare than waste time. AB De Villers is beast no doubt and is similar to Rahul Dravid, keeps, captains and bats.

 

[LiveLoveABD]

Very pleasantly surprised with de Villiers!

 

[LiveLoveABD]

AB keeping, captaining and batting!

So the 4 day test ends in 2 days. I did expect Zimbabwe getting thrashed with the attack SAF had but this is not what I expected. I hoping India performs better.

I think you can safely presume the Indians will be better. It's very hard to do worse than getting skittled for 180 odd in 2 innings. I think SA should be flexible and play an out and out pace attack on a spicy wicket. I remember the wickets that were given to SA when they toured and it's about time someone gave India a taste of their own tonic.

Why would any side go into a test match with just seamers? I mean the over-rate would be crazy!! plus, on a 4-5th-day pitch, you definitely want a frontline spinner, especially someone like Maharaj who has performed exceedingly well in the last year or so.
