[Match thread] Zimbabwe XI vs Bangladeshis (Tour match)

Not much of chance for Prosper then, but anyway it's seam much more than spin we're going to hurt the Banglas with.

Utseya strikes. 7 down for 139

interesting match, i remember Streak at one point saying the Bangladesh guys struggle with seam bowling, but we always seam to play spin against them. Makes more sense now, i reckon Meth will take the test team spot.

Mushfiqur goes and as i type Shafiul goes as well. Just 1 more wkt needed

And here comes the last one. 188 all out. Chance for the batters to shine now. Go Zim

sibanda and Mawoyo have to dig in for the remainder of the day's play, they have to show some maturity if they are to secure some Test spots.

Impressive show by the Zim quicks. i just hope that the batters can also play well. Interesting that Raza is in the team. Can he score a big one here and sneak into the team as an opening bat for the test???

2/17, Chakabva and Raza gone. Not a good start... a 40 or 50 run partnership early on in the innings would be a good psychological boost considering Bangladesh lost early wickets.

Taibu in at four, it sure would be good if he could stick around and make a big score.

"Probably Craig and Tino would need to get more time in the middle of the crease in the warm up game against Bangladesh at the weekend."

Alistair Campbell said in a recent interview and it's time for these guys to stand up and make a statement

4 down...LOL...the kids are messing it up

[brmtaylor.com admin]

4/39 now, it's pretty doubtful Zim will make it to 100. A very precarious situation right now. Time to stand up and be counted Craig Ervine!
