Can we win this test match?

We pushed the match towards a draw, but Zimbabwe still managed to lose. Can't say I am happy about the negative mindset our team management showed during the match.

I guess our team management where pretty sure that Zimbabwe would lose their way at some point even if it was 65 overs

But with teams like Zimbabwe you can accept but against top ranked sides with better batsman you need to have about 100 overs if you really want to go for the kill

I think we are criticizing the management a lot. The idea of 4.5RR for the Zimbabwe was not a bad idea. May be they have declared 2/3 overs late but who don't want to be in safe side?

Looks like they were positive of bowling ZIM out lickity split. It was a big gamble that paid off. Against top sides we would have played to draw as a win against them is totally unlikely, though now maybe slightly more possible given our improved bowling strength. But ZIM are making our bowlers look a good bit better than they really are.
