*Official* Bangladesh in Zimbabwe

[flibbertyjibber]

Well done Taylor on the ton. Brilliant effort by him in this game.

 

[CricAddict]

Was just thinking about the Taylors in the cricketing world. So many of them floating around, almost all countries outside the sub-continent has one.

 

[CricAddict]

The Zimbos should have played atleast another 15 overs and put the match out of Bangers reach. One would never like to lose a big test match like this (for the Zimbos), even though the chances are small.

Yeah agree, think this is a bit silly really, if Tamim goes mental, then the target could look very small.

 

[Uppercut]

Totally bizarre declaration really, gives them less time to bowl Bangladesh out anyway.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Strange declaration. Tamim could almost win this on his own if he really plays well.

And he is, now. Zimbabwe certainly doesnt deserve to lose this match after 4 days of domination except for a session.

 

[Uppercut]

I think they may have just outplayed Bangladesh for almost four days then thrown the match with an atrocious declaration.

 

[Nate]

Why did they declare? Baffling.

 

[Howe_zat]

The Banglas will have out played them for two days out of five if they get there, so it wouldn't be quite like that.

Nonsense declaration though, I agree. Bangladesh couldn't win the game with bat and ball, why would you give them the chance to do it with bat alone?

 

[CricAddict]

Big wicket. This. Brendan Taylor would be mighty relieved.

 

[Flem274*]

Mpofu gets Tamim!WAG!

 

[Uppercut]

Lol. What a way to end such an aggressive innings.

 

[Howe_zat]

I've decided I like Imrul Kayes if no-one else does. It's not a hateable offence to be somewhat on the crap side.

 

[BlazeDragon]

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

Though I still think they should have made the lead bigger. Its looks like a risk for them now.

 

[BlazeDragon]

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.

Netherlands and Scotland too.

 

[NasserFan207]

Nah, pretty certain Zimbabwe will win this. Bangers will keep up with the rate but lose wickets regularly, same as always

 

[Woodster]

Yes some important strikes towards the end of the day for Zimbabwe, was really impressed with Kyle Jarvis, thought he bowled very well and deserved his couple of wickets. Does very much have a look of Glenn McGrath in his action.

 

[Daemon]

Very unlikely that Bangladesh will make it. What I wouldn't like to see though, is the batsmen playing stupid shots to get out just because of a lapse in concentration.

 

[cricman]

Zimbabwe should have went T20 mode after tea for about 10 overs put in 55-60 runs and than still would have been able to pick up a wicket or two.

They're is a slight window for Bangladesh here because of the declaration. Rahim is the right batsmen to send at 5 here. He can hold up one end, he's better technically than Kayes and Nafees.

It's gonna be hard work with the old ball and so the 4 remaining batsmen are more than capable. Very Tough Task but I think one of them will get set and take the match away from Zimbabwe. Probably be Shakib his 3 highest innings in Test Cricket have come in the 4th innings and his Captaincy is on the line here.
