Yeah he is a very strange bowler; it's why it took him so long to debut despite having one of the most ridiculous First Class bowling records of the modern era.

Every time this guy Jalal Yunus opens his mouth, controversy arises. He has a knack of blaming everything upon players when there is a poor showing. He should have made sure that unfit players weren't participating in bpl. The board was too busy in organizing bpl that they didn't have time to find a proper coach even. It's not that they lack money or something, they got plenty of money but not using for the right causes. Jurgensen, bowling coach turned head coach, is a good team manager and surely the team played well under him in some recent series but for long term I'm not totally convinced that he can take the team to that level. There is not even a proper batting coach for the team. The fielding coach takes care of batting department.
BCB rather than blaming the unfit players should be blaming the selectors/ management for naming them in the squad in the first place. The first test is now lost already, so all these big talks from BCB can now only put pressure on the players for the next test. Also this pattern of blaming the umpires for poor showing should be stopped. Some decisions might go against sometimes but it's not umpires' fault if the players fail and present opportunities one after another.

Yeah, because every pitch that takes turn is sub-standard, I'm sick of these ridiculous opinions people have about pitches in that that don't favour the quicks are bad pitches. Unless you're talking about Galle being too flat, but you have to remember that it was ICC sanctioned not long ago for being a rank turner.

Which I was.
Jalal Yunus seems to be in stunned shock that the batsmen filled their boots on a ridiculous road of a surface and then struggled against a competent seam attack on a fair wicket. And that's funny.
I've got no beef with turners.

It's not that people are upset only because we lost, it's because the way we lost

Exactly - first they let Zimbabwe get 380 when they probably should have kept them down to about 300, then after a promising start they capitulated on the third day. They were just chasing the game from that point.
Anyway 2nd Test starts tomorrow, Shakib will supposedly be playing a full part this time (so expect him to have to bowl 60+ overs).

Maruma is out with a knee injury with Chakabva coming into the side and will probably open with Sibanda. Not expecting much from Regis, but Sibanda and Hamilton really need to step up in this game. I don't want to see Taylor coming in at 2/20 odd

Well he can't complain about the pitch being a road as Meth has 1/14 off the same no. of overs.

And Nasir Hossain about five ...
They do well on FB don't they, the Bangla boys - over 3,200 people 'like' Nasir, a number 7 who's sent down 100 overs in nine Tests, although this is hardly the ideal arena for 'bits and pieces' players. His nearest equivalent from England, James Tredwell, has 66 'likes,'
Which, tbf, is about 60 more than he has on here.

Heh, just noticed Cremer finished them off with 4 for 4 in the first game. Doesn't seem to have been mentioned here or even on Cricinfo, but it appears to be the cheapest four-for in Test history! Bowling records | Test matches | Cricinfo Statsguru | ESPN Cricinfo

Better batting effort than last game but batsmen mostly threw their wickets away. Zim dropped couple of catches though.
Mushfiq goes now. We are in trouble again.

Never heard of him before today, but it appears he can bat a bit - even if he's no Abul Hassan. I think Bangladesh would have taken 300 at the start of the day, for one thing it's more than they managed in two innings last time and they have the potential to add another 50 or so. Not a bad position to be in bowling last.
