[Match Thread] Zimbabwe v Bangladesh: 2nd Test

[betterdays]

The Rocks top order needs to be thanked for this display.

Mutumbami is so experienced at coming into bat with the team plenty of runs behind the opposition.

something even more enjoyable about this test than the last...

I'd like Mutumbami to just settle down a touch, lunch is only 10 minutes away. Having said that, I'm loving watching him bat at the moment.
I thought after seeing him bat in the last Test that he was brought in well before he was ready. I'm not totally backing off that, more A team cricket probably would have been helpful, but as zimfan1 said he looks like a completely different player once he gets himself in. He's been batting in some pretty tough circumstances to be fair... team 5 down with a large deficit, having to face the second new ball. It's been a really good, almost counter-attacking, innings so far.

The curse

Very positive knock by the young man though.

the bangladeshi lads seem to be overusing their main strike bowler, 30 overs out of 90 total for your frontline seamer in an attack with minimum 5bowlers. mutumbami gone, reprieve gifted us 12runs

And now he departs
Still a 85 run partnership was a damn good effort under the circumstances. We are not safe yet but we are a lot closer than we were this morning. And 42 is a good effort from Mutumbami.

CANNOT lose another wicket before lunch!

Oh dear. Time for Cremer to improve on his highest score again.

[TheBradDevil]

Cremer will almost certainly get a start, time for the wag

Graeme Cremer, that was a wonderful shot
