I made a mistake guys. I thought Asim Kamal was a keeper. I put him on the team using Line up editor. later when i finished 85 Overs of my 4th Innings i noticed that he had taken wickets. So i poked into the mystery and found that Danish Kaneria was the keeper. That was why Danish Kaneria never bowled a ball. I will post the scores soon. But i havent finished the match. I hope to keep it tense and interesting to see the outcome
It?s 5:12 and the sun is getting prepared for it?s glorious setting. In the field Zimbabwe are 158 for the loss of 6 wickets. They still require 211 runs, which is impossible to achieve. But can they pass the time? Can they draw the match? The end can prove to be quite interesting.

Zimbabwe require 211 runs with a few hours left to win the Test
No chance of a win. But there is a hope for a draw. But the bowlers are too good and I am afraid that I might be bowled out before the end. What will be the final twisting end?
The match has ended. The match was an interesting one with both the teams competing well in Batting and Bowling. In the 2nd innings batting, Flower (46) and Friend (37) did their best. And for bowling Afridi (3-12) and Asim Kamal (3-40) were the stars. The result is a suspense.
