Zimbabwe A finished day 2 of their first four-day match against the touring Pakistan Shaheens on 112 for the loss four wickets, still 409 runs behind in Kwekwe.
The Shaheens made 521 for the loss three wickets before they declared. Omair Yusuf made an unbeaten 250.
But what did we learn about Zimbabwe A?
Here we go:
1. The bowling effort is forgettable
The only wicket to fall on the day was that Kamran Ghulam who fell for 26,h having come in with an overnight score of five. Tanaka Chivanga trapped him leg before. Yusuf was joined on 161 and was joined by Hussain Talat who made an unbeaten 51.
2. Dion Myers has something
Dion Myers was for many a surprise inclusion for the side. But he is a talented player who averages over 36 in red ball cricket so far. And he is a player who has a great technique and action about him. He made 56 before he was caught at slip, but selectors will be excited with what they saw in him. Myers’ 64-run partnership with Tanunurwa Makoni was both guts and class. He will need to start converting those starts into tons more often, a thing many Zimbabwean players struggle with.
3. The silly runouts
Joylord Gumbie was a player many were excited about. He went out early, to a an unnecessary run-out. And so too Wessly Madhevere who was looking untroubled before he was gone trying to get a second run. With a match still with two days to go after this, it showed poor maturity.
Day three starts at 9.30am with updates on The Zimbabwe Cricket App as well as livestreaming on their YouTube channel
