Zimbabwe's Test cricket debut in England after 22 years began under bleak conditions, leading to a day filled with disappointment and lost opportunities.

A tie is like kissing your sister, a phrase by Navy Coach Edward J. Erdelatz highlighting the ambivalence towards draws in sports. Football fans may not appreciate the concept of Test cricket where ties are ingrained.

"The most frustrating thing is it's an issue depending on where you are in the world and the style of cricket that's played... There is never an over-rate issue in Asia because of how much spin is bowled."

The foundation of your batting in Test cricket has to be defence. Probably a lot to do with playing on flat wickets in T20 cricket. The more T20 cricket is played, the less people will start defending. This shift in mindset is evident, and it’s impacting how our batters approach their innings during Test matches.

Azhar Mahmood stated that despite tumultuous changes, the team's approach remains the same, but recent shifts in the playing strategy suggest otherwise.

Chris Woakes, who recently took three wickets against Sri Lanka, remains dedicated to playing Test cricket abroad, expressing willingness to tour Pakistan and New Zealand.
