Zim Vs Afg: Records Tumble As High-scoring First Test Ends In Stalemate
Queens Sports Club Bulawayo: Several records tumbled in the first Test between Afghanistan and Zimbabwe, which ended in a high-scoring stalemate at the Queens Sports Club here on Monday. Both teams posted massive first innings scores, which left them not much to do in the second innings as the match ended in a draw.
After winning the toss and electing to bat first, centuries by Sean Williams (154), skipper Craig Ervine (104), and Brian Bennett (110 not out) took Zimbabwe to their highest-ever total of 586 in the first innings of the Boxing Day Test.
The bowlers did not have much to offer in what was a game dominated purely by the batters. Afghanistan’s AM Ghazanfar was the leading wicket-taker in the first innings with three to his name, combined with two wickets each by Naveed Zadran, Zia-ur-Rehman, and Zahir Khan, which saw Zimbabwe post a big total, which they perhaps thought was enough to register a victory.
