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

Raza gone.

He was complimenting the embankment at this ground. He was the one that put in the embankment at Sports Club. Some people like it, but it halved the available space on the other side, which used to be a full sized rugby field. They could easily have had an adjacent smaller cricket pitch there that would have been great for practice and for junior cricket. We’ve filled that ground once in 15 years so for me it’s a waste. If I had my way I’d remove it and go with the additional pitch plan.

The embankment on the eastern side where the nets are? When did that go in? It must have been well before AC's 2010 involvement right?
I think the grassy banks are nice

I can’t remember when it went in, but I’m fairly sure it was his idea. Ya a lot of folk like it.

interesting test for Williams' brain and Moor's plan against spin

[Googly]

That short cover has saved about 30 runs so far.

[Jemisi]

yeah he's stopped a few, eh

Nothing wrong with batting as long as possible here. We just cant lose another wicket before tea.

I could live with 6/250 at stumps.

Moor 0 off 15, he looks so much more at home when there's no time pressure.
Williams is in a purple patch.

if we are only 6 down at stumps we'd have done well from here
