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

[Zimco]

Keeper not having a great one. Zimbabwe has lost some good keepers through the problems of the last ten years/selection issues.

Eg chakabva retired early. Lost PJ moor. Lost Ryan Murray, Dane schandendorf playing county. Any others?

[Googly]

Absolutely nothing makes a fielding team drop their shoulders and give up faster than a keeper missing chances.

[Mr Twig]

That's Tsiga in for the next game unless he has a match winning innings with the bat.
I don't think anyone would have appealed though, he'd have been not out anyway.

Mavayo would have if he caught it. He knew

Ya Matt Welch being prevented from keeping
Cut one of his legs off in case he's a problem.

They're grooming this new u19 guy and clearing the field ahead of him.

Wouldn’t mind seeing a gully in for Wes

Ya probably.

You rarely see a keeper make amends. If he's having a bad day it usually continues.
That catch in slips where he got in a knot with his hands was not a good look. That's not a natural keeper.

[Googly]

I'm guessing Williams is not available to bowl?
Madhevere takes a lot of pace off and gets nice flight, he's not easy to face.

Come to think of it, keepers clashing with the board goes way back Andy flower, taibu, Taylor at times, the ones mentioned previously

[Marshmallow]

What happened to Ryan Murray? The boy literally played against Pakistan series and then came in as a substitute wicketkeeper for Taylor in Bangladesh and disappeared.
