Cremer should hang around a bit.

388 to chase pressure on Lanka.
Cremer is the key man for Zim.

ZIM is showing the inexperience - almost 400 to defend and they are allowing Lankans to rotate strike at will.

Shaping up to be a good final inns here, Zimbabwe need to dry up the easy runs to try and force mistakes through pressure to get wickets at moment.

The pitch seems to have eased up, Lankans batting comfortably.

278 more runs needed with 8 wickets in hand
I think advantage Zimbabwe. Tomorrow is the 5th day so can't expect much from Lanka batsman.

I think Sri Lanka will win by 4 wickets, but the Zimbos have done better in SL than Australia did a year ago.
Give them back:
Brendan Taylor
Garry Ballance
Kyle Jarvis
..... and they would be a serious team.
Can't happen though: they're the wrong colour!

What is that supposed to mean
they left their country for a better life elsewhere, the Zimbo board is corrupt, their cricket development infrastructure is non-existent and their players are all paid peanuts; which is why the names you speak of preferred a guaranteed money contract as it ensures their financial security and that of their family's.
Jarvis was quoted as follow when he announced his retirement:
"I have held off a few opportunities over the last few months but my decision was made about a week ago when the pay disputes arose and I felt my time to leave had come."
Ah, so this is what it feels like

Day 5 should be a thriller.
Zimbabwe will win by 40-50 runs.

In for a thriller of a conclusion. Current partnership is key, if Mendis and Matthew can play themselves in they will score at a good rate once set. If Zimbabwe can pick up a wicket early they'll believe they can win this.
I'll go with Zimbabwe to win this game.

Well played Zim hats off! Deserve the win here played some great cricket thus far. Our lot depending on just one or two guys as has been the case last couple of years even at home. Shows where our cricket is at. When Herath calls it a day that will be the final nail in the coffin.

Mathews dug his own grave here. In 4th innings big chase, batting at 35 SR is criminal. He just shut himself out of scoring.

170 runs to get with 5 wickets left, advantage Zimbabwe.
Winning the test match after the ODI series sweet sweet victory.
I was dissappointed by Zimbabwe off late but they have proven us wrong. I think they are probably the best minnow side right now in ODIs and Tests, ahead of Ireland and Afghanistan. This is good for their cricket.
Just yesterday Malcom Waller was signed for BPL. This series will help these Zim cricketers a lot
But pity of Lanka. They have gone from bad to worse this year and I am being honest.

18th July 2017, 05:53 #112
Apart from T20s it will be a one sided contest like it was last time around. Zim lost 5-0 in ODIs and 3-0 in tests and only one test match was close.
Better for everyone if Zimbabwe invites us. Will be a good contest and our boys will learn to play in alien conditions. Right now even Zimbabwe is more alien than England or Australia.

I have a question- I have watched that replay in 65" 4K Tv for 5 minutes from both angles & I am not sure if if one of his spikes or a millimeter of sole touching the ground behind the line, which happens to be a day 5 wicket, when the bail was completely dislodged from it's grove. It's not a DRS umpire call - it's a stumping decision.
Now, I don't know if CricIfo people or 3rd umpire is watching better quality picture or not, but based on what I have seen, I can't be sure if batsman is confirmed out or not - so, benefit of doubt goes to batsman. I don't think, ZIM's underdog status deserves some pity sympathy here.

I guess the 3rd umpire thought "This looks out, but you can't be sure that some micrometer of his boot isn't behind the line so benefit of the doubt goes to the batter."
Had this been an ODI or a T20 (unless a major world cup game) it would prolly have been given out.

Zimbabwe are not ahead of Afghanistan. They have played each other a lot recently and Afghanistan have won pretty much every game and have won every series in ODIs and T20s against Zimbabwe both in Zimbabwe and in UAE. Afghanistan are the best minnows, followed by Zimbabwe, then followed by Ireland.

Sri Lanka [346 & 391/6] beat Zimbabwe [356 & 377] by 4 wickets in the one-off Test
That´s the problem with weaker sides, in particular in Test cricket. They dream before they achieve and lose focus in the process, contributing to dropped catches and missed chances. Another equally important factor is that, not necessarily from the fans or the crowd, but a match situation like this puts them under huge pressure from within their own minds that this is their game for the taking and only they themselves can lose. So a combination of it all leads to mistakes out there, especially from the fielders.
Was watching live today the last session and was so hoping for Zimbabwe to get their act together; not to be! Test cricket,... the chances of the stronger team losing are always very slim.
Either way, an excellent comeback by Sri Lanka quite late in the game. Dickwella has of late been quite a consistent performer, and Gunaratne mostly chips in when the going gets really tough. I really like that guy.

The zimbabs spent their runs like they were sons of millionaire.
No building of pressure, same two bowlers bowling all the time. They never posted a short fine leg for the sweeps. Hope they'll learn.

True - I also thought so. But, the other side camera wasn't conclusive, probably because of the boot angle. These are those few cases where Umpires are going to lose always in either decision. In general understanding is, one should give a batsman out only when he is confident & confirmed.
Cricket rule favors batsmen, because it's the most perfectionist job - one mistake & you might be specialist fielder for 5 days & I am fine with benefit of doubt going to batsmen. Problem is, now they have started to twist law to give batsmen extra edge (like the Free hit - basically penalizing bowler twice for one crime; but they do call back batsmen on reply, if Umpires fail to call a NO ball) & they have tampered the playing condition to give batsmen like 6 handicap.

What's more conclusive than his foot not being behind the line??
Lets just not give any LBW decisions anymore because who knows what if a sudden strong gust of wind comes changing the balls path to not hit the stumps. It would be a good rule because it can never be conclusive until it actually hits the stumps.
Does cricket survive off of it's money or does it survive for it's money?
