Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod]
Ireland won the toss and sent Zimbabwe into bat, they had so far reached 85 for no wickets by the lunch break. Joylord Gumbie took a personal 49 just one run away from his half-century and is doing well on his debut. From the point of view of experience, Zimbabwe has played Tests much earlier than Ireland, so I will definitely put Zimbabwe ahead in the only Test match. Ireland have some good bowlers in ODI cricket and they playing today, but their experience is not useful now, they must use the experienced to take control of the match. The match has just started today and it is not clear which way it will go, but for now Zimbabwe are in a good position.
1 st day and 3 rd session is continuing in pitch and start of game, Ireland team won the toss and got a chance to choose bat or field first and choosing right decision. Ireland took field first and this game was held on Civil Service Cricket Club ground. Zimbabwe team scored 187 runs in 60.3 overs by losing 4 wickets. Player of Zimbabwe team playing great and also showed brilliant effort. Gumbie scores 49 runs in 99 balls and hitting seven 4s. Prince also batted outstanding and he made 74 runs in 152 balls and hitted eight 4s. Ervin team leader performed very poor and scored 5 runs and same d.myers scored only 10 runs. These are all dismissed from pitch and right now, Williams and Bennett both is playing their inning in pitch hope zimbabwe team grab good runs in 1 st dat and 1 st Inning.
Well, Zimbabwe is currently facing a big tragedy in the field. Zimbabwe was in a very good position. But between scoring 193 to 198, Zimbabwe had lost four wickets. So Zimbabwe lost their eighth wicket at 198. This does sound pretty unbelievable, to be honest. I was thinking that Zimbabwe is going to play out the whole day and maybe even play for over at the start of the next day. But now it seems like Zimbabwe is not going to play out the first day. There is a very big chance that they will be all out before that. Zimbabwe has been able to get to 200. But I was thinking they are going to get close to 300 before ending their inning. But now 250 looks like a mile away & with 210 they got all out. Great job by the Ireland bowling unit by the way. It was a great comeback from them from a pretty difficult situation. Now they will look to finish the job as quickly as possible.
