[Match Thread] Bangladesh v Zimbabwe : 1st Test, Sylhet

[Jemisi]

massive last wicket stand now

[TapsC]

Bangladesh havent scored over 200 in their last 7 test innings. Averaging 129. Lets see how it goes. 3 wickets today and im happy but one big partnership could completely change this game. Thats my biggest fear

[Jemisi]

At the toss we would certainly take this position. 321 to defend in the last dig.

But man they should have been keener to really hurt them.

I fear we’ve blown this one. I reckon we are going to pull up short and BD are going to break their run of low scores.

This reminds me of the Pakistan Test we won in 2013 (our last win) we blew a good 2nd innings bowling effort by getting bowled out cheaply but we had just enough that time

[jaybro]

Im confident we have enough runs, but seriously we should have put the game out of hand we've given them a sniff when really they should have been chasing 400

[brmtaylor.com admin]

I’m disappointed we didn’t play more defensively. Raza, Taylor... what the hell?

The Chakabva/WM partnership was how everyone should have played.

I agree jaybro. We could have sealed this by setting 400.

Again, I put this down to mentality. Again, it makes me question what the heck actually goes on in the dressing room and on the training ground.

Zimbabwe have given Bangladesh a sniff, but I still feel this will be very difficult to chase for Ban.

[Jemisi]

The team were looking for 180 and got there. They should have had their sights set higher for sure.
