The opening pair of the Zimbabwean team was the most reliable in this Test match, but the batsmen did not perform well later on and were eventually bowled out for just 210. It will not be possible to stop the Zimbabwe team with a target of only 210 runs, in this case the Ireland team has performed very well. 
Every player in the Ireland team put in a good bowling performance, with Andy McBrine and Barry McCarthy dismissing the formidable Zimbabwean batsmen. Ireland will surely win this opportunity with Zimbabwe team, if the batting performance is right.

The match between Zimbabwe and Ireland was in progress but not right now, the first day of the test has finished. In this match, we saw too poor performance by the Zimbabwe team. They were able to make only 210 runs.



Their full team is all out today, the bowlers of Ireland is very good and doing bowling with amazing strength which totally caused the loss of Zimbabwe’s team wickets so far but if the Zimbabwe team bowls as well then it would be great for them.
I have a feeling that Zimbabwe team in the bowling department is also no so capable. They would do the same pathetic bowling as they have done today in batting so tomorrow they might do it same with the bowling because their current condition is like this. No Surprises.

Zimbabwe did not played well in the bat in their first innings and here you are right that we can expect in the next innings of this match their performance might be poor too.

By the way, also this time their squad is not too good, no Sikandar Raza and this time we are seeing some new players in the squad. It is the tour match and after this, no match is there for them, I mean no Interational match we will see in this series, that may a reason why Zimbabwe send a new team to play at Belfast. The openers of the Zimbabwe team is good with Joylord Gumbie and Prince Masvaure (who gave 91 runs opening partnership) but the middle order is poor and failed to capitalize on the start.

Really pathetic performance from the Zimbabwe batsmen. They were 193/4 and then collapsed to 210 all out. And this time they had a number of very experienced batsmen in their playing XI, such as Craig Ervine and Sean Williams. Sikandar Raza was absent, but he can't rescue the Zimbabweans every time in need. Andy McBrine triggered the collapse when he nabbed Sean Williams and Clive Madande in consecutive balls. And then Mark Adair and Barry McCarthy cleaned up the tail.

[Out of mind]

The Zimbabwean team scored 210 runs on the first day by batting all out. Although the team did not score too many runs, Ireland bowled well due to which they easily bowled out Zimbabwe. If the batsmen are not able to bat well in the test match then it is definitely harmful for the team as the runs will be very less. However, on the second day, the island team will go on the field to meet the target of 210 and they will meet the target and give Zimbabwe a big lead again. And I think in this test match maybe Ireland team will be much ahead compared to Zimbabwe because Ireland team can perform much better than Zimbabwe.

England vs West Indies

So today England and West Indies will played their third match.
As we know they have played two matches already. And England has won both. And I think they will win the third one too. In the first inning of the second match West Indies performance was very admirable and they were showing that they can win this match but unfortunately in the second inning they didn't play well but they show that they can give a tough time to England.  So let's wait for the match start. May be West Indies will give a tough time to England.

Yes the last test match of the test series between West Indies and England is going to be played today and only few hours left for the start of this match. The England team's performance against the West Indies in the first two Tests looks like they will continue that performance in the third match as well. The performance of the first two Test matches will make it clear to everyone how strong the England team is and how well they have performed. To say that in this test series, England team is playing completely dominant against West Indies, England is not giving any concession to West Indies.

If West Indies can't improve their performance then it goes without saying that they might be beaten by England in the third Test and lose the series 3-0.

West Indies and England have met twice in Test matches, and England in the first and second matches. And England team won by a huge margin, so England team is definitely more likely to win this test match between these two teams today. 

Because the England team has enough experienced batsmen, especially in today's match, both the teams will perform seriously.  In two of those matches, the West Indies team performed well in terms of batting but could not perform well in terms of bowling. So if they want to win today's game, they have to seriously bowl and batting performance.

A completely irrelevant test match is taking place at the Civil Service Cricket Club in Stormont, between Ireland and Zimbabwe. I don't understand the point in having just three teams in second division test cricket. Ideally there should be at least 8 teams. Apart from the existing ones (Zimbabwe, Ireland and Afghanistan), they can add Scotland, Netherlands, Nepal, Namibia and USA. Anyway, at this point, Zimbabwe has got a good start. They are at 65/0, without the loss of any wickets. Prince Masvaure and Joylord Gumbie are at the crease.

After a long time we are seeing Zimbabwe playing Test cricket. Zimbabwe finished their first innings game against Ireland yesterday where Zimbabwe scored 210 runs at the end of the first day and at the end of the first innings. Ireland will be batting in their first innings on day two and will definitely be looking to finish day two ahead of Zimbabwe. The outcome of the match depends a lot on the first innings of the opposing team. If Ireland can be ahead of Zimbabwe in the first innings then Ireland will win this match but if Zimbabwe is ahead at the end of the first innings then Zimbabwe will bat again and they will try to give Ireland a big target. All the best to Zimbabwe as they don the jersey of Test cricket after a long time.

Zimbabwe scored 210 runs which I think not a good score. Ireland is looking better in this game. Means we can see how they perform in bowling. Andy McBrine and Barry McCarthy collected 3,3 wickets. I hope they will do well in the batting line too. If Ireland will make a lead of 200 runs so this will a good score. And this will be tough to cross. If Zimbabwe will make a lead of 100 runs in the second innings so this will not be good and Ireland will win easily. By the way we can't say anything at this time let's see what will the Ireland do today.

I think the Zimbabwe team had to play slow that time, I am pretty sure if they would not play fast and -play slow that time, then might their team would have been alive in the test and would bat tomorrow and give a good target but they have all out just because of one mistake.



As we know, the Joylord Gumbie  and Prince Masvaure gave them a very great start but they have to maintain it, the openers has done their responsibility but when the middle order was started then back to back wickets were falling. To manage that Prince Masvaure started to play fast but he lost his wicket too so we cannot blame to Prince Masvaure  because he made the highest score in the team.

Yesterday we saw the second day of test match between Pakistan and Bangladesh team, it is the matches of  A teams from both teams.
From the Paistan team Sahibzada Farhan is leading this series and in this first match, he made 66 in 88, good performance by him as the capain of the Pakistan A team.

Sahibzada Farhan ios a very good player, he also performed amazing at the Pakistan Super League but after that he was not selected for any series but this time he is leading and hopefully, he will make his place in the national team. Sahibzada Farhan the best player ever produce by
Pakistan team.

By the way, this test match was ended in a draw. Pakistan A team made 467 runs for 3 wickets down and then they declared the innings. After that Bangladesh made 203 for four wickets down and the match was ended with no results.

The game is not drawn yet day three is stumped and Bangladesh made only 20 runs. Pakistan A made 467 runs loss three wickets and declared the first innings and Bangladesh A team all out in 266 runs. Pakistan A Setting big total of 428 runs for Bangladesh A team to win first unofficial test game. day 3 stumps off excellent batting by Omair Yousuf Scored a brilliant hundred and out after scoring 100 runs while Mubasir Khan made 95 runs and contributed a few runs to miss his hundred. 

Bangladesh A team played seven over today they made 20 scores without lose of any wicket. Bangladesh A openers are on the crease and they will start the morning session of the 4th day if they save their wickets in first session then they will put pressure on Pakistan A side. Bangladesh A team that failed to deliver in the first inning of the game now needs 408 runs to win this game.

As we are all known to the fact that Muhammad Amir has came back into the International team. Also you may know the A team series is running between Bangladesh A and Pakistan A but on 21 August, they will be a series between Pakistan and Bangladesh original teams.

In that series, Muhammad Amir said that he took retirement decision back from the International cricket so he can play this test series too against Bangladesh. Also you may know that he took his retirement from the test since 2017 or 2018 but now we may see him back through the test matches and with his magical swing in this test against Bangladesh in Rawalpindi and Karachi.

In the third Test match, West Indies decided to bat and who they might play well to win the match against England. Two matches have been played and between these two matches England have not been able to equalize the West Indies game, we already know that England has qualified enough to win the series by winning two matches. The West Indies team is currently batting very well and their game is not that developed due to which they are constantly losing matches, although they are not very strong. West Indies team did not play very well against England due to which they lost badly in every match, today's match will probably try hard to win. But I think this third test match today England has one more and may beat West Indies in this match too.

[Sithara007]

Surprisingly, West Indies has got a good start, with Kraigg Brathwaite and Mikyle Louis looking quite comfortably out there. Also, the good news for West Indies is that Gudakesh Motie has recovered from his injury and is a part of playing XI for this match. And West Indies have also won the toss, so they don't need to bat last. But the priority for now is to survive against the pace trio of  Chris Woakes, Gus Atkinson and Mark Wood. Anything above 350 would be a good total for the first innings.

After the decent start that West Indies actually got, They had lost the first wicket at 76. And after that they have been losing wickets at regular intervals. In evening when I tuned their playing they had scored 187 so far and they had lost 5 wickets that process. Actually they had lost the fifth wicket when they were 115. So there is a good partnership was going on between Jason Holder and Desilva. You know they are the last recognized pair who can actually handle themselves with the bat in hand. After this there was not much batting left for the West Indies. So those two would have to go to at least 250, but they failed. At night when I tuned again their score is 270 within 9 wickets, 300 is expecting not more then. The bowling from England has actually been pretty good. They looked to break this partnership quickly. So far the fast bowlers have been pretty successful in this match.

But I think this third test match today England has one more and may beat West Indies in this match too.

I would say West Indies lost the first two matches because of bad batsmen. We were not at all prepared for West Indies' terrible batting in the first match. The West Indies team was defeated by a huge margin. However, West Indies' comeback in the first innings of the second match was very commendable. But in the second innings again we saw bad batting from West Indies batsmen. And as usual West Indies faced defeat again.

My expectations from West Indies were a bit higher in today's match. I thought West Indies would collect big in their first innings. While the top order did not play well, Holder and de Silva batted responsibly in the sixth wicket partnership. But in the first innings, West Indies managed to collect a total of only 282 runs.

[Sithara007]

Anyone watching the test match between Ireland and Zimbabwe? There were a lot of twists and turns until now. At one point Ireland were 165/3, and then they collapsed to 206/9. This is a carbon copy of what happened to Zimbabwe during the first innings. They were 167/3, and then collapsed to 210 all around. Look how similar the scores are. Then at the most crucial moment rain happened. So we don't know yet who will get the first innings lead (which doesn't matter as far as the outcome is concerned anyway).

I can't say that 282 is a good collection on this pitch. Had the West Indies managed to score more than 350, the match was likely to be competitive. But now probably we will see only England's dominance in this match. Because in the last two matches, we have seen that England's batsmen are in very good form. And in both the matches England's batsmen batted responsibly.

Gus Atkinson bowled well in this innings. Gus Atkinson took 4 wickets. Besides, Chris Woakes took 3 wickets and Mark Wood took two wickets. However, if the West Indies bowlers can bowl well now, the match is likely to be competitive.

West Indies and England have met twice in Test matches, and England in the first and second matches. And England team won by a huge margin, so England team is definitely more likely to win this test match between these two teams today. 

Because the England team has enough experienced batsmen, especially in today's match, both the teams will perform seriously.  In two of those matches, the West Indies team performed well in terms of batting but could not perform well in terms of bowling. So if they want to win today's game, they have to seriously bowl and batting performance.

West indies team Vs England team 3 rd game was started now and today day 1 was played and stump. Past two games of their teams, England team both won these games with good effort hope in last 3 rd game England team again showed brilliant struggle in innings and make possible to win this game and also whitewash the west indies team with 3 wins. West indies first won the toss and selected batting first. This game is playing on Edgbaston stadium. West indies again performed poor just like in past game in first inning. West indies made only 282 runs in 75.1 overs, Kraigg batsman played good ans he scored 61 runs in 86 balls. Holder and Da Silva both also played excellent effort and both scores total 117 runs. England inning also started in 1 st day and bit Thier inning was more poor and worst than West indies team. They lost 3 wickets in only 8 overs and made 38 runs. Seales bowler took down 2 wickets and other 1 wicket was down by Joseph bowlers I know this is the start of inning and England played also good in past game when everyone believe that they lost this game. I still believe that their remaining batsman will do a great comeback in game and beat bowlers of West indies team and set good trail runs.

West Indies scored 282 runs in the first innings. I did not expect a better innings from this team. West Indies' batting order is quite strong. But their main problem is that the performance of the batsmen is very erratic. The squad has a lot of talented players. But they are not able to bat consistently. This is why the West Indies team is lagging behind.

I expected better batting from England's top order. I expected England to score 400+ in this innings as well. But the England team lost wickets very quickly. But England lost 3 wickets to collect only 31 runs. At the end of the day, England collected 38 runs after losing 3 wickets in 8 overs.

Test match is kind of funny cause you can often see unexpected results, after scoring 282 it looked like a small score for ENG and they thought they could post a big 1st innings total so they can have huge lead but it turned out to be wrong, Windies right back on the top by taking 3 wickets in just 8 overs for stumps so they are on the top now but Eng has to concentrate now and focus on reducing their trail now.

West Indies played worst cricket in thier previous two matches against England and lose both of thier matches by giving advantage of 2-0 lead to England, it's true that especially test cricket at current time didn't suit West Indies played because of thier aggressive mindset and behaviour so that why they really lost most of thier matches they should keep patience build as much as possible partnership and keep as much as high possible wickets in hand. Anyway according to scoreboard West Indies batting order failed like usually they did and scored 280 around target I taught it gona be another disaster for west indies but surprisingly while England batting they not only restrict them and put them under huge pressure but took three important wickets of them still they have plenty of wickets and I ma sure they will recovered as much as possible damage but I am really impressed for west indies they way they show his intent

Yes you are right West Indies again show that they are not better than England team. They played their first turn and they made only 282 runs and all team got out. But here is surprising things is that England has also lost 3 wickets on 38 runs. And they are also looking little bit weak.
If West Indies will bowl well today and collect the remaining wickets before 150 runs so I think there will be chances of winning of West Indies. And in this case West Indies will win due to the bowling otherwise batting line is weak and they need to improve. I hope West Indies will do better today.
