[Series Thread] Zimbabwe A v Bangladesh A in Zimbabwe

[Kriterion_BD]

Expected ZIM to capitulate by great going so far. Burl and Moor should be in the test see to BD. But what happened to Musako and Mumba?

How do you rate the Bang A attack?

Shahid is decent. Not quick, although he touches 140 clicks here and there. Has a good action and is known to be a workhorse. His main weapon is his dead on accuracy. He can nibble the ball around off the seam too although I suspect in Harare he might get swing as well.

Saqlain is one of the leading domestic wicket takers. Probably not as good as Taijul, but given our stock, he's probably a pretty good SLA.

Abu Jayed, don't know much about him but kind of surprised he's in the squad. He's not really considered a prospect AFAIK.

Same with Mukhtar. Hom can be useful, but he's not a front line offie.

Wat is your club, GergorPJ? Who have u had in the past?

Club in Scotland called Ferguslie.

We have had Malcolm Waller for 1 season and Keith Dabengwa for 3 seasons. Both excellent guys, performed well on the pitch, provided top coaching and socialable around the club.

I think it's time to get a wriggle on. We're one down in the series, so we have to go for the win...

BD A would need about 5 an over if we declared now. I'd probably bat for another 3 or 4 overs, try and add another 25 runs and then declare though. Make BD A take a few risks if they want to try chasing our target.

Looking at our scoring rate though I think we have no intention of declaring.

Burl and Mamihyo carrying on their good form. This is what it's all about, youngsters proving themselves in the A set up

That was nice of Mamhiyo to let Burl get his half century, given the game is certain to be a draw now.

[sloandog]

So, for a bloody change I may say, we have 4 batters, potentially 5 if you include Chari (though his form has been wayward), who have put their hand up; Burl, Moor, Gumbie and Mamhiyo. Tiripano with the ball hasn't exactly failed neither. So over all, not a bad little showing this, and we've declared! Come on you Zimbaa!

You feel that Burl is not too far away from a maiden First Class century.

Get them all in the team. I am tired of watching the current bunch fail, I want to see some new guys fail.

30/3 for Bangladesh... coach Dita must be happy.
