I believe some of our problems are in the way we have structured the batting line up

We have two new opening batsman who have shown promise , they have managed to secure a decent opening stand but they have been quite slow to score, ideally i believe we should have one of the experienced guys opening with Kasuza or Prince. We can not see both new guys opening.

This is how it should be

Kasuza
Raza
Craig
Prince
Taylor
Williams
Regis


Raza is very good at Rotating the strike
Craig is very good at rotating the strike

Our opening batsman need the experience of Craig, Taylor, Williams , Raza to help them rotate, you can not have two new guys learning from each other opening the batting

[tgk]

Well, hopefully in trying to save the test, the batsmen score some good runs. Fifties and a hundred from one of the guys should save us from defeat and bolster their stats. Just don't want to lose by an innings.

This is what happens when you go extremely defensive and bat negatively. I hope Ervine and BT can counter attack a bit and put the bowling attack under a bit of pressure to get the wickets instead of blocking every single ball.

[Mr Twig]

Still looks fine for batting.

[tgk]

Why would you do that BT?! We'll be done by lunch. Bring Regis in now.

[tgk]

Ok it's Raza. Just don't throw the wicket away like BT.

[Mr Twig]

Wow that was bad

[Black Mamba]

This match going to be over till tea break. This fellows can't draw a match in their own backyard against Sri Lanka in last day, how can they survive in 4th day sub continent pitch, which is one of the hardest thing for travelling team, a simple off break bowler can get a surprising turn & bounce in this sort of tracks.

Nayeem Hasan is simple off break bowler without any variation but the pitch condition will make him look diffrrant

[TapsC]

That was poor from BT but to be honest the match is lost so anybody who gets in might as well try get to a personal milestone.

In the end the problem came from a weak bowling attack. That's the truth. We have lots of guys missing so in the end this was kind of expected

[Mr Twig]

Ervine more sensible

Hit it along the ground
