[Match Thread] Bangladesh vs Zimbabwe, 2nd Test, Dhaka

[Black Mamba]

Chari's technique is horrible, in subcontinent bouncers gets hooked & pulled, as its become effective only if it comes with 145+kph.

Both of them playing defensive waiting game, but they needs to put scoreboard moving and feel comfortable out there, negetive strategy may hurt Zimbabwe

I think this tour has shown Mavuta still has a lot to learn and needs consistency to be a regular contributor in internationals, he looked great bowling on a mindfield in Slyhet but you won’t get that every game.

Raza and Williams also struggled in conditions that didn’t suit them so I think it’s clear Alexander Graeme Cremer is still the No.1 spinner in Zimbabwe

Cremer would have wrecked havoc in Sylhet. But on this pitch he’d probably have taken figures of 4-200 if he bowled a lot of overs. Otherwise he’d prolly have been 2-120 or something.

Who knows mate he might have ripped through them or he might not have, Cremer has been very up and down in Tests.

Chari very brave this morning being hit twice in the lemon spread, looks outclassed but very gritty.

Perfect time for BT to come to the crease whilst the pitch is still ok for batting, he’s the guy to take on the attack, let Chari keep doing what he’s doing

Bowl is hitting in Chari's helmet more then his bat

Hopefully Chari makes that drop count. Still there. Doing ok

[Black Mamba]

Tiripano is over rated, his logan cup stats for the season 2017-18, 2nd in the list of leading run getters clearly suggests Zimbabwe's poor domestic cricket, it seems now Mpofu or Mumba can hit a double ton in logan cup and claim themselves as an allrounder

[Googly]

He’s got some fight, that’s for sure. I’d hate to watch him facing Rabada on a fast wicket!

It’s damned hard facing spin in their local conditions, all teams struggle,but how hard can it be to import a few container loads of their clay and make some Bangladeshi nets at home? Then get a Merlin 3 and get the boys facing those same deliveries daily. If Mukhlani and Makoni has forgone their all expenses paid trip we’d be half way there

[Kriterion_BD]

Chari is batting well.

[jaybro]

Chari is in t20 mode

[Black Mamba]

Finally hook shoot came from Chari, two blows made him realize he is batting in sub continent not in fast pitches
