Match Thread: Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh 1st Test (20th-24th April 2025)

Where does Sean Williams rank among the Zimbabwean greats? Genuine question. Maybe I'm crazy, but top 5, surely.

Hope he kicks on and gets a big hundred in this one.

Top of the tree by a long way. Those other guys had quality around them, Williams does it alone and with a bad back every time he plays he knows it will come down to him.

That's the top 5, not sure if that is the exact order

[Googly]

He's played against lesser teams and he has a little glitch against raw pace, but for the big gaps between games and the little practice he appears to do he's right out there with the best in the world.

[Jemisi]

that was a nice stroke

[Mr Twig]

Pitch has got easier

Perfect opportunity for Mayavo.

[Googly]

A minimum of a 50 run lead is critical here.

Think you’re confusing him with raza bro there’s no associate bashing in test cricket, no sub sub qualifiers to stat pad here.

Not sure why you wouldn't take BRMT as your wickie for this tour. Yes he's old but he had loads of experience in Bangladesh.

[Googly]

Ya but his stats against SA and NZ (i think it's NZ) are poor. Around 12.
