[Match thread] Only Test - Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh

[jimbo]

I think Tino was Unsettled by the short ball previous to the wicket taking one but this is what test cricket is about and he will learn, aside from that im sure mawoyo will be pleased with his work

Vusi Sibanda you little ripper! Well batted lad! xD
And well batted to Tino Mawoyo! He did his job of seeing off the new ball, great start lads!

Mawoyo and Sibanda's 102 is the 3rd 100+ partnership for the 1st wicket in Test matches in 2011. Good comeback. In the past - (ODIs mainly), the middle has been cause for concern after a good opening stand but back then it was Taylor and Masakadza doing the opening, now they form part of the middle order which should tighten up things; Taylor and Masakadza are the linchpins of the batting lineup.

Despite Mawoyo's selection over Mutizwa - he forms a good partnership at the top with Vusi, they averaged 57.00 (4 innings) in the Aus A First Class matches

Good start by the boys but the Mayowo wicket could yet prove to be costley as all that is needed is for Bangladesh to go Bang bang and then the game is even again. Vusi has played well so far but needs to go on a get a big score.

Vusi... CALM DOWN!

He can be leaving these wide deliveries, just wait for the bad balls like earlier.
