With the senior side currently in such dire straights , the Zimbabwean selectors are sure to watching carefully the progress of the `A' team in Sri Lanka

Whilst the format of the game may have changed the end result remains the same

Kevin you must be very disappointed with that performance

Zimbabwe lost the final unofficial test in Matara by an innings and 21 runs after a spectacular collapse before and after the luncheon interval

For the third test match in succession Zimbabwe enter the final day fighting for survival

A fine unbroken 64 run partnership between Thilan Samaraweera (12*) and Indika De Saram (64*) means that Sri Lanka finish on top at the end of day two in this third and final test match

The start of the third and final unofficial test match at Uyanwatta Stadium, Matara, was delayed due to a leak in the covers and then prematurely curtailed by a thunderous tropical storm

Hemantha: Yes

In the end Zimbabwe's death in this second unofficial test match was quick but certainly not painless
