[AndyZaltzHair]

Hope we give Hridoy and Amite a chance in this test. Not sure why we have to play Mushfiq in this test.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

1. Joy (want to see him bat outside asia)
2. Tanzid
3. Shanto
4. Hridoy (about time for his test debut)
5. Amite (doing well in first class: deserving avg near 50)
6. Mahidul Ankon (Liton opted out)
7. Miraz
8. Taijul
9. Robiul (prefer him over ebadat)
10. Khaled Ahmed
11. Hasan Mahmud

Well done, Zimbabwe. Nyamhuri especially.

 

[Silver Silva]

Wow Zimbabwe are bossing this test

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Love me some Innocent Kaia

 

[honestbharani]

Yeah amazing domination so far. Expected more from the Tigers fast bowlers.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Good time to refresh memories that Liton saved our ass everytime

 

[Chubb]

Unable to watch last night but obviously a very good start and looking forward to this evening.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

How long are we going to continue with the hacks opening like shadman and bowlers like ebadat?

 

[ataraxia]

Wow, massive start for Zim.

 

[Chubb]

Excellent from Kaia.

That makes him the fifth black Zimbabwean to score a test match hundred. He joins Masakadza, Taibu, Mawoyo and Chakabva.

I think only Bavuma and de Zorzi have achieved the mark for South Africa.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Great knock from kaia and now bennett

Hasan Mahmud bowled too full and ebadat bowling too short. What can you say? Only Khaled seems to be hitting the right length. Ebadat in no rhythm whatsoever and living on one fluke performance. Pathetic.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

I have never seen Robiul bowl but he could not be much worse than ebadat

113-2 to 140 all out is what will cost Bangladesh this test. Yeah, pitch had plenty of seam movement and slight variable bounce yesterday but if you got through the first session, you gotta get at least 250. Shanto looked horrible throughout, got a reprieve early, struggled and then played an ugly shot to get out. I like his aggressive intent at the start of innings but this stepping down the track thing won't work in Australia, gotta find other ways. Also this test highlights the importance of Liton and how he has been saviour in such situations. He won the second test vs Pakistan from same situation. Without him and to an extent Miraz, it looks a pack of cards down there.

Big wake up call for us. Need to bin few players for good. Sadman, Ebadat and to some extent Joy. I can't believe they did not play tanzid here and dropped him after one test. Seeing out the lunch session and then collapsing in a heap is not acceptable. Also I'd rather play miraz than taijul outside asia.

Just hoping Hridoy/Amite comes good in second innings or else we would not be able to take anything positive from this match.

Is Ashwell Prince , JP Duminy, Alviro Petersen not considered black ?

Bro you have so many talented pacers how is Khaled Ahmed still getting a game ?

 

[Chubb]

Is Ashwell Prince , JP Duminy, Alviro Petersen not considered black ?

Not in South Africa, they’d be called Coloured or Cape Coloured. I’m not even sure de Zorzi is “classified” as Black in SA as he is mixed race.

What happened to Zimcricketforums? Could some of the exiles of that site be tempted to come here?
