[Match Thread] Bangladesh v Zimbabwe : 1st Test, Sylhet

[Mr Twig]

Geez, in what universe is Chari more deserving of a game than Ervine.

This game has already been lost.

Didn't Ervine take leave to attend a wedding? Perhaps it was take leave and don't come back?

Anyway, it's a raging turner so we won't last long.

[Jemisi]

Ervine out, Chari in.

At least we won the toss. A win of any kind is welcome relief these days.

Game not yet started.

Zimbabwe will start with 0/1 as Chari, the ZANU PF representative is a big failure.

Selectors are doing wrong with Burl & Prince Masvaure both looked great against quality bowlers,but never got extended chance which they deserved

Yeah.

How many balls do we expect Chari to take to get his duck? I'm going with 12.

Yeah, those sort of cracks on day one? Looks like about day three
Certain to become a dustbowl pretty fast.

Is there any scenario where we can escape with anything but a thumping loss?
Double tons from Taylor and Williams, 450 in the first innings... hope for rain?

Shot by Masakadza. Great to see some confidence this early in his innings.

Not much turn so far...

Hami looking very solid.

That turned.

Plenty of swing out there too, surprised we haven't given the slips a few easy catches yet.

Hopefully we can see some vintage Masakadza today. A nice little 150 would really be timely

And again.
