Tino Mawoyo becomes the 7th Zimbabwean to earn 150-run mark – Cricket News Update
Day 2 turned in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Tino-Mawoyo-c2683’s favor after the batter finally earned 150 runs, which landed him the distinction of being the 7th Zimbabwean batsman to reach the mark in Test cricket.
The achievement came on the proceeding one-off Test match between the Zimbabwean hosts and the Pakistani tourists, at the Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo, on Friday, September 02, 2011.
Forced into batting by the Pakistani skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Sibanda-c2740, took on a worthy start, retaining their stumps till the closing moments, just before the lunch break.
However, with the arrival of the 23rd over, owned by Pakistani star spinner, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Zimbabwe-c3045 suffered an opening loss after Sibanda walked off following a stump out dismissal. Much disappointment came for the batsman, who exited the pitch just 5 runs short off his half century.
As for the highlight player, Mawoyo, managed to lay a concrete footing on the crease, delivering a fair batting display, as the procession went on.
The batsman went on to aid the following Zimbabwean line-up, who came and left, delivering some decent numbers for the team.
On the other hand, disappointment came for the Green Caps, since the side’s fresh roster of bowlers, failed to deliver much on the field, with Ajmal carrying out the major damage to the opponent.
Losing an additional 3 players on the squad, Mawoyo was then accompanied by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Craig-Richard-Ervine-c51733, who too, took not much time get accustomed to his home pitch.
The pair finally wrapped up opening day’s play, piling up a safe 245 for 4.
With the arrival of Day 2, the batters resumed the session, but failed to go on, after the duo parted following a knock off http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Junaid-Khan-c77037’s delivery, sending off Ervine to the pavilion at a disappointing 49.
On the other hand, Mawoyo went on to prove his might with the bat, after the opener finally earned his hundred runs mark.
Coupled with lower order batsman, much relief came for Mawoyo since the Zimbabwean finally trotted into scoring a mighty 150 off an elongated play worth 422 balls.
