Re: Bangladesh Watch 2015-2019

It was a idiotic decision...hopefully a random brainfart. But Mushfiq tends make dumb moves and then instead of fessing up he makes an even dumber attempt at justifying himself. He's a very weak leader, will always blame others for his leadership failures. Now he's claiming we had three seamers in t...

Re: Bangladesh Watch 2015-2019

This wasn't totally flat. Compared to a sporting surface in england or RSA, yes it was flat, but usual BD pitches are 15 out of 10 in flatness. This track was like an 8. The one Zim played on last year was a 2-3. Mushy was clearly looking to draw...not a bad strategy given our bowling stocks. A 0-0 ...

Re: Bangladesh Watch 2015-2019

Massive defeat of 300+ runs to go down 0-1. Highly disappointing cuz I didn't think it was the type of pitch to score just 400 runs across both innings. Horrible strategy though to only pick 3 bowlers and then field first. And one of the specialist bowlers bowled 2 balls before tearing his knee. I s...

Re: Things people NEVER say at a Zimbabwe cricket match

The ZC has really pulled a good move here.

Re: Zimbabwe to tour Pakistan for ODI series

I totally forgot that its not cricket season in North India. Not cricket season in Bangladesh either where temps are near 40 degrees. But have you guys seen the weather for Lahore? 43 degrees everyday now! Will be a tough tour for ZIM to acclimate to that extreme heat. I think Dubai is cooler than L...

Re: BD v PAK

We'll be merely saving Tests for a while. Good thing is we're ranked so low that drawing matches and series will earn us a lot of points for a while. We could draw level with the WI in 4-5 years time. I think we have the spinners in Shakib, Taijul, Jubair, and Gazi (SLAs, leggie, offie) to give any ...

Re: BD v PAK

Do the BD batsmen have the temperament to play out a draw?? After all this ODI cricket they've been playing it will be interesting to see ...... A draw against this Pakistani test team was always going to be a good result IMO, with Misbah and Younis in the middle order they're still a strong team ....

Re: Bangladesh Watch 2015-2019

Just checked the OP, I did call a draw for this series on ZCF as well.

Re: Bangladesh Watch 2015-2019

You've got to feel sorry for the bowlers. But at the same time, they haven't been bowling in the right areas consistently................. You can't do anything about the ball not swinging but you can make a quicker bouncier surface like the Dhaka pitch Zim played on a few months ago. But facing Wa...

Re: Bangladesh Watch 2015-2019

Shafiul and Robiul would be the two best suited for tests IMO, what do u think Krieteon? Anyone would be better than Rubel + Shahid. I'd rather take Tapash Baisya and Nazmul Hossain. Zimbabwe opening with Chibabha and Hammy would be a more penetrative attack than this. I'm gung ho, I'd have played ...
