Quality bowler Blessing

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.

Working and living in London.

Blessing is a menace. Hopefully we keep playing lots of test cricket. His reputation will grow big time if he continues picking up test wickets like this.

Game is in the balance. Shanto is who we need. 73-4 basically

This is the game right here. Knock over a couple after tea and we are into the tail. Blessing is going to have to bowl a long spell. Richie needs to find some rhythm.

The Joker in now.

60-40 advantage to ZIM now...Bangladesh needs a partnership of some substance. They will want a lead of at least 220 to feel safe. ZIM probably don't want to be chasing anything over 175.

Ya he's so good. Could be better, but so good. We'd be so jigged without him.

I'm surprised Wellie has just been given the ball now.

[Googly]

Not getting much turn, but he's on the money.

50 from my man Shanto. A conversion here would be fantastic in a challenging match situation. Still a poor record overall averaging under 30 after 65 innings...

Lead sitting on 99...need at least 101 more to have any real advantage. Joker looking positive and in good touch.

[Googly]

In the first innings when he walked in there was a small crowd shouting Shanto you're shit!
What's going on with that?
