TELFORD VICE, Harare

SA’s win over Zimbabwe in the one-off test in Harare on Tuesday was one of Cinderella’s ugly sisters before midnight: made to look prettier than it was.

The home side, who resumed 113 runs shy of making SA bat again, were dismissed for 181 in the ninth over after tea. SA knocked of the nominal target of 41 with 13.2 of the scheduled overs not required.
