The Ireland Vs Zimbabwe Test match has been full of comedy of errors and unwanted records being created.

First, it was the Zimbabwean keeper, Clive Madande who made the record of conceding 42 byes in a single Test innings. Now, another Zimbabwe player has been in the spotlight, but for wrong reasons.

Chatara makes mess of a simple chase

Tendai Chatara, made a mess of a simple ball chase and allowed the batter to take 5 runs, which doesn't happen everyday in cricket. Richard Ngarava bowled a short of a length delivery outside the off and Irish batter, Andy McBrine stood tall and punched it through the covers.

The fielder, Tendai Chatara gave it a chase from the cover region and it looked like he'll stop the ball on time.

However, he made a mess of it as he somehow stopped the ball from crossing the ropes, but got dis-balanced and crossed the advertising board, allowing the batters enough time to complete 5 extra runs.

Talking about the Test match, Zimbabwe scored 210 in their first innings and in reply, Ireland slammed 250. Zimbabwe were knocked over for 197 in their second innings, setting up a modest target of 158.

At the moment, Ireland are fumbling in the chase, having lost 6 wickets for a meagre 132 runs. They still need 26 runs to win with 4 wickets remaining.
