Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod]
As predicted by many, South Africa won the 2nd test match against Zimbabwe with 1 innings and 236 runs. i.e. they made 236 runs more in a single innings than Zimbabwe made in two innings. Zimbabwe is no match for South Africa and it is going to be a long humiliating series for them. Zimbabwe might be happy playing against a strong team but with such large difference in playing style and capacity, they are not going to learn much from South Africa. They should have chose easier test teams like Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan to play with.
After seeing result of 1 st game, everyone predicted that South Africa would win 2 nd test game as well. 2 nd test game was ended yesterday and again South Africa team won the game and successfully beated Zimbabwe team. Zimbabwe team won toss and they elected fielding first and gave batting line to South Africa team. South Africa team made 626 runs in 1 st turn and batsmen played very great. Opening of South Africa team was not good and both opener batsmen Tony and Lesego made few runs. Wiaan did not lost his wicket and he made great progress and made three century in sungle turn, total he made 367 runs in 334 balls and hitted 49 4s and four 6s. Zimbabwe team made only 170 runs only in 1 st turn and scored 220 runs in 2 nd turn and batsmen played their both turns under pressure. Zimbabwe team lost 2 nd test game by big margin 236 runs and South Africa now won test series.Wiaan was really something else on that match his performance was really intriguing , imagine 367 runs .
The fact that they have won the two matches shows that Zimbabwe can't really withstand pressure. This was really a great defeat on the side of Zimbabwe.
