The call for a two tier Test league gets stronger after each one sided test series.

Division 1 -

England
South Africa
Australia
Pakistan
Sri Lanka

Division 2 -

India
New Zealand
West Indies
Zimbabwe
Bangladesh

Ireland and possibly Afghanistan waiting in the wings.

It has merits but would skew the stats.

Zim one down in the first over following on.

Hard to believe that the kiwis struggled against them in their other test and that the Zimbots beat the Bangers.

With the Australia/India fiasco, thank goodness for the England/Pakistan series to show that test cricket still has a pulse.

by DJ_Smerk Sat 28 Jan 2012, 01:35

Zimbabwe 3/1 already after following on.

Jeez louise.

Ten different bowlers have taken one wicket or more in the first two innings of this test match.

by DJ_Smerk Sat 28 Jan 2012, 01:44

3/2.

Coldplay is all fired up. He's got a taste for Zimbabwean batsmen.

This really is the worst batting performance I've seen. Even INDIA could do better than this.

by DJ_Smerk Sat 28 Jan 2012, 01:49

Zimbabwe have forgotten how to bat. Not ideal when you're in the middle of a test match.

They're sh!t. Wouldn't mind them being suspended again.

epic lolz

7/3 in the second innings - oh dear

by skully Sat 28 Jan 2012, 02:24

Call an immediate ICC meeting to remove the Test status of these imposters. very angry

by skully Sat 28 Jan 2012, 02:33

4-12. They could "beat" their abysmal 51. Rolling Eyes

Innings and 400 run defeat is my guess.

by Blackadder Sat 28 Jan 2012, 02:36

Doubt the ICC would have the balls to act, will be up to the Zimbot board to act like last time.

Will be an innings and 300+ but atm, the interest is whether or not they can avoid the lowest ever score.

by tricycle Sat 28 Jan 2012, 02:47

20 run partnership Shocked

They're getting 300.

Nice woof...6/37 Razz

So the kiwis keep their proud record of lowest ever score.

Looks like Zim. will be remotely competitive away (pushed NZ, not too bad against Pakistan and beat Bang.) but struggle mightily away.

When do the first tier nations get to play them?

Bracewell is rivalling Pattinson and Philander for stunning early test stats.

Surprised the BCCI hasn't organised a one of match with them to get Sachin that elusive ton.

6/52...well they are on the improve. cheers

by tricycle Sat 28 Jan 2012, 03:25

This innings show why ICC should be patient with scrapping teams. 51 all out to 6/53, that's more than a small improvement.

by JGK Sat 28 Jan 2012, 03:35

Oh dear...

by Blackadder Sat 28 Jan 2012, 04:08

50 partnership for the 7th wkt.., if only the top order could have showed some fight

by tricycle Sat 28 Jan 2012, 04:13

100, they're nearly twice as good already.
