Having a fast bowler going for 1 run an over less really doesn't make much difference when the spin bowlers are bowling 2-3 full tosses or half trackers an over going to the boundary
The Zimbabwe bowlers have been impotent thus far. Still a long way to go, but Bangladesh are firmly in control

Re: Match Thread: Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh 2nd Test (2025)

When we come out to bowl: - I hope Masekesa finds some rhythm early on. I fear Bangladesh may target him and he could go for a few. An early wicket could help him settle. - Wasakadza has big role to play - I was hoping Williams would be fit to bowl. He would have enjoyed bowling on that surface. - A...

Re: Match Thread: Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh 2nd Test (2025)

Haven't seen any of the action, but it looks like Zim's middle order didn't offer much resistance to Taijul and Nayeem.

What's the thinking behind some of these selections? Everytime I see Faraz Akram's name on a team sheet, I ask what exactly it is that they see in the guy. He bowls 105 kph pies and gets whacked everytime.

Curran Bennett Welch Williams Ervine Campbell Madhevere Tsiga Masakadza Ngarava Muzarabani Don't see the need to have 3 seamers if the pitch is going to be spinning.

I would persist with the current top 6 for a few games. For me, Nick Welch's position in the team is still safe... at least I hope it is.
