Match Thread 1st ODI Bangladesh v Zimbabwe

[Kriterion_BD]

Tiripano just sent one down at 136...

Bangladesh struggling a bit here going at barely 4 an over.

Very risky going with an 8-3 lineup with no real strike bowlers, at least when Streak did it he had Cremer & Chatara

Hopefully good times not too far away, bring back the following players into the squad & things look much rosier

Burl
Ervine
Williams
Murray
Shumba
Jongwe
Jarvis
Chatara
Blessing (hopefully in 12 months)

For all the hype around Wes, he is going at 6 an over. I want the kid to do well, but he needs the right coaching and guidance, and the right introduction to the game. Between him and Donald, Bangladesh have been able to up things for themselves.

Already not a fan of Chamus captaincy. Can see that he is just going through the motions and not doing things according to the match.

Tiripano is getting slower & less threatening with every delivery

[tgk]

Maybe time for Mutombodzi. Can't hurt to see what a leggie can do, even if he might be terrible.

[Kriterion_BD]

We look to be on pace for 325+ now.

I reckon anything in excess of 250 will be tough to chase against this BD attack.

Come on Don don't bowl short ones if you're gonna bowl them at turtle speeds.

Isn't Wes in the side more for his batting?

[Kriterion_BD]

Shoddy fielding so far as well.

[tgk]

We need a couple wickets in quick succession before over 25 or else the score is gonna balloon into a 350.
