*Official* Bangladesh in Zimbabwe

[weed wizard]

Its easy to see that zimbabweans are the better team than banglas.
A high quality spin department (price, cremer, utseya).
Exciting seamers bench (vitori, jarvis, meth, mpofu).
Reliable batsmen(taylor, taibu, masakadza).
They just need to play as a team.
A win here surely will raise their confidence.
Way to go. Zims.

Awesome catch to get rid of Sibanda. If Banglas grab two more before close its game on

 

[cricman]

In reality it is 175/4

Zimbabwe will think they would need minimum 125 more would probably want 175 to 200 more. It would be interesting to see what approach they take.

Bangladesh will want to get the next 6 wickets for under 100 runs, tomorrow's session will be interesting. Regardless Bangladesh will go for the win when they come out to bat in the 4th Innings.

 

[NasserFan207]

There we go, three more wickets though one was the night-watchman.

I predict a very close game from here on and a tight finish on day five.

 

[BlazeDragon]

Taylor and Taibu are the 2 best batsmen in their team they could still take the game away from Bangladesh.

 

[AlwaysProteas]

It's all upto Taibu and Taylor now to take the match away from Bangladesh.

 

[Chubb]

Been watching some highlights and I'm very impressed by Zimbabwe's bowling. Vitori looks quality - quick and some of his deliveries were beauties. Jarvis bowled well without a lot of luck, Mpofu was solid and Ray was, well, Ray.

One big partnership and Zim can win this.

The good nature of this contest shows why this should have been a 3 test series.

 

[Athlai]

Yeah only having 1 Test is so frustrating.

 

[NUFAN]

Yeah I think a 2 Test Series would have been good. At least we are likely to see a winner from this match. It's pretty evenly poised, but I reckon runs on the board is always the key, so Zim are narrowly in the box seat. Today's first session is going to be huge.

 

[Prince EWS]

Three Tests would've been awesome.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Yes a 3 test series would have been great. Maybe next time they will do that. Certainly be a more entertaining series between these 2 sides than say a 3 test series v England/South Africa where both would be beaten easily.

 

[NUFAN]

What an awesome first session so far for Zim. Both batsman have batted brilliantly in such a vital part of the match.

Taylor really impresses me. I would love to see how he'd go playing Shield Cricket.

LOL Keyes into the attack I think (just stopped watching).

 

[Howe_zat]

Bangladesh one session from being out of it now. They'll probably have to just bat for four sessions to get away with it.

This is actually only the third over Kayes has bowled in FC cricket.

 

[turnstyle]

Can understand why it's only the one test. Imagine if zimbos had lost by an innings and there were still 2 tests to go.

It's been pretty good watching. Competitive test cricket without the drama and hype of a certain other series going on. Would love to see us and even Afghanistan play these two in multi-day cricket more often.

Yeah Afghanistan and Ireland definitely have the ability to compete at a higher level. They should broadcast some of the intercontinental cup games as well.

IIRC the final earlier this year was streamed online by Cricket Scotland. Guessing the only reason this one is on TV is because of Bangladesh's involvement.

This one has got Test match status, they have to broadcast it regardless of who's playing.

Really? Just thought it was up to the boards and media partners.

The only thing I love more than Brendan Taylor is seeing Brendan Taylor score lotsa runs.
