*Official* Bangladesh in Zimbabwe 2021 (full tour)

[Aritro]

yeah plus how come we are playing with two fast bowlers only. Also as miraz is playing, it makes no sense whatsoever to play mullah

Wtf? I didn't realise that. Two quicks on this pitch?!?!

Just looked at the lineup - there's not even anyone who can bowl a few overs of mediums.

**** me, who's in charge of this circus. Absolute, utter stupidity.

Muzarabani looks an athlete for someone his size. Nice easy action. First time getting a look at Ngarava, not unimpressed.

Yeah just seen he's 198cm which I believe is 6'6. Not sure I love his action, but he looks quick.

that first over from Muza to Saif was a corker. Gonna be a bad loss here imo.

BCB is riddled with internal politics hugely. It wasn’t any better but its reached its peak now. No body knows whats going on and board directors are free of any scrutiny. There are many issues that need to be resolved. Domingo as coach and Mominul as captain riding their luck for a long time now. I was worried that a win in Zimbabwe will give them a chance for eye wash and bury the matter but it looks like they won’t be able to pick up that win.

This series is 'powered by Toffee'. Are they eating it in the tea break or something?

Mominul's record as captain is really something to behold.

 

[Aritro]

Mominul looks a bit more comfortable than the others. He owes us a ton to make up for his decision to bat first.

 

[cnerd123]

Muza looking potent from around the wicket, should have changed angle earlier.

I think this pitch will flatten out nicely once the ball loses it's shine, but we'll see.

Yeah I'm starting to think the same. Hopefully there's some sunshine to come.

The rest of the Zimbabwe seamers haven't looked like they're up to much so far although I'm worried I'll eat my words.

When did Mominul get so good off his pads? Looking wonderful playing those shots today.

That Zimbabwe line-up looks very short on experience. The batting is going to be exceptionally fragile.

Losing Raza to some random infection and Ervine and Williams to potential covid. Even when they're not losing players to other countries, Zimbabwe always find a way to pull out some additional adversity.

Yeah that's a shocking run of luck for the Zimmers, feel for them.

Who have they lost to other countries, out of interest?

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Over the years? I guess plenty (Colin de Grandhomme being the most recent that I can think of), but my comment was more pointed at Peter Moor now plying his trade in Ireland.

EDIT: Pretty good YouTube stream this.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Harare has always looked like one of those grounds that I could quite happily while away 5 days of Test cricket lazing on the bank, preferably with a beer or two.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

the way this is going they might have to ask Maruma to bowl in place of Nyauchi and Tiripano

 

[Starfighter]

I don't think I've heard less subtle sponsor plugs than from this commentator.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

can't be as bad as the Pulsar Power Fours in Nepal

 

[Aritro]

Bit annoying there's no speed gun here, would love to see what these Zimbabweans are bowling. They've even got one at Ireland v Netherlands.

 

[Flametree]

Would be a heck of a wagon wheel for Mominul. Pretty much everything from midwicket to fine-leg.
