[Match thread] Only Test - Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh

[sillymid]

A score of at least 450 wil put BD under pressure. We simply have to restrict them to least 300 and build on that lead second innings. Aussie A attack was way tighter than BD i watched both 4 dayers and those guys bowed with such descipline than i saw today. The Aussies never had more than 2 fielders outside the ring no matter the circumstance. They were hitting good areas and didnt set fields for bad bowling. They also priced their wkts highly, i think we stand a good chance of winning this game if we get the basics right. Flat as the pitch might seem- i have seem demons appearing from everywhere once you put the other team to bat. Its not only the bowling that BD messed up, their fielding and morale was low- so if we score a good total im sure our confidence will affect our fielding positively. nning this game if we get the basics right.

To see Zim play so well on their test return is such a relief. Cannot wait to see the new-look attack in action but happy to wait another run-filled day to do so.

When we bowl, I would love to see Kyle Jarvis with that new Cherrie..
How long has it been since we had a 90Mph, white fast bowler opening the bowling in a test match ? I can think of anyone atall!

It was mentioned earlier about Williams, and the four lads getting their test caps...well if you have him on facebook look at his staus

'what it must be like to make your test debut...' I think it's hit home that he wants to be back there. He says 'he's not in the squad ', i feel like shaking him! It's his own fault

Williams is just a whiner who likes to be the centre attention, the fact his that he has never been 100% comitted to zimbabwe and probably never will be, for him the grass is always greener. Forget about him, as Taibu says he is proud to play alongside guys who show the right commitment, when has williams ever shown one ounce of commitment?

Yea i know what you mean mate. He reminds of Neil Johnson for some reason, well his attitude and mentality does anyway...like, he thinks he could be doing or playing for somebody much better. Yes, he's be a great addition to our test side, but his facebook status just shows that he's an attention seeker and a little, soft baby that really fragile mentally. Toughen up man!

great first day for zimbabwe hopefully tommorow hami can get to three figures
in watching the match at the start i was worried what zim mental strength will be put to the test but it proved to be strong and did well but bangladesh there mental strength was pathetic after an hour heads were down sluggish in the field and their pace bowlers could not bowl a consistent line for man then 3 balls in a row
zim bats for 2 session and get near 450 at least there can be only 2 results for the match but for now we just need to take session by session

Blignaut?

For that matter, have we ever seen a black bowler faster?

Bear in mind that olonga was a bit of a myth that was exposed when the speed gun came out and aliseni never got that far
