No man no no no... why the declaration 😭😭😭
So much time left in the game. Could have told him he's got 5 overs to go out there and smash it to try and get to 400 😭😭 pic.twitter.com/ovu0hMfMgI

"Massive Rain Forecast'
Massive rain forecast in Bulawayo over the next four days, which is why South Africa seem to have declared with Wiaan Mulder batting on 367. With 11 sessions to go, SA are afraid there might not be enough time to bowl ZIM out. Makes sense👍 pic.twitter.com/7WkOyu1bMn

'Example of Selflessness'
South Africa declared on 626/5 while Wiaan Mulder was on 367* and few runs away for creating the history but as a captain of Proteas he decided to declare,,, what an example of selflessness #ZIMvSA #SAvZIM pic.twitter.com/EAuDV8w7eO

'What A Declaration'
WOW What a declaration from Captain Himself
Wiaan Mulder has declared South Africa's innings on 626/6 with only 33 away from Brian Lara's World Record 400*
That's some sacrifice you'd say with enough time left in the Test, South Africa have Batted on 4 sessions#ZIMvSA #SAvZIM pic.twitter.com/CMy57OImOk
