I'm not sold on Chatara for the test match. When was the last time he played a four day match and bowled in two innings?
I say keep him for the one day matches

I'm surprised Maruma got a score at all. I didn't watch much, but there was one over where Shakib beat him five out of six balls.

Maruma is a delight to watch when batting domestically, I watched his 170 odd in the trial match before the Afghanistan series, along with a couple of other Logan Cup tons, his style and range of shots is actually really quite good and easy on the eye.

The problem for Timmy is that he struggles against the pace of international seamers and also he doesn't have the defence to deal with quality spinners for long periods of the game. A stop start international career hasn't helped him either, but he's definitely had his chances.
