Henry Nicholls and Rachin Ravindra already touched 150 runs milestone and it was a 2nd day, now kiwi skipper has a chance of doing something funny and bat long, very long. People will call it statpadding but who cares?

Give their batters a chance to break individual records. Would be funny if both not out batters goes to score 400. Grin

Even if they score 400, what is the use? Their innings will not have any value as it came against a team that is worse than the gully cricketers in India and Pakistan. The only positive for Zimbabwe to take away from this match is the comeback of Brendan Taylor. He was probably their best batsman for the last 10-15 years, before he was shunted out from international cricket. I don't know what will be the future of Zimbabwe, without all these expat cricketers such as Taylor, Brian Bennett, Nick Welch, Sean Williams and Craig Ervine. Maybe they can import a few players from India and Pakistan, similar to the case with Sikandar Raza. Abhimanyu Easwaran would be a good addition, IMO.

10-20 years down the line no one will care if it was against Zimbabwe or some other team. Individual record is record, no matter the conditions or opponent. Scoring 400 runs is rare even in first class cricket, otherwise every specialist batter had this stat under their belt in list A games.

If Rachin or Henry actually cross the line then its going into history books.
