*Official* Bangladesh in Zimbabwe 2021 (full tour)

[Aritro]

Ebadot doing little to improve his test average of 90 against an understrength Zimbabwe.

Also we should have held on to the old ball. It was clearly working for us.

 

[Aritro]

Wow, what a terrible way to go out for Kaitano. Nicks a nothing delivery sliding down the leg side. Poor guy.

 

[Aritro]

****ing hell, imagine if they fail to avoid the follow on from here

He's one of the worst test pace bowlers I've seen.

15 overs left in the session. The Zimmers desperately need to exploit the variable bounce somehow. Some spin might have helped.

Also, it's rather looking like the Deshi brains trust read the pitch right.

Pitch has been weird. Looked like it was going to be a proper Basin Reserve clone - green for 2/3 of a day and then progressively flatter until it reached a Day 5 pancake - but then all of a sudden it started going up and down.

 

[Aritro]

It hasn't been hot enough in Harare to dry it out that much I would have thought (22-23 degrees every day) but I suppose simply having full days of sunshine could do the job even with mild temperatures.

 

[Aritro]

Then again it's only 25% humidity. **** knows. I agree, it's been weird as ****.

 

[Aritro]

Lead of 237 at stumps. There's probably only one result likely to happen here. Would have been a very different game with Ervine, Williams etc available.

Saif also needs to use this opportunity to get himself a score.

Looks like Mahmudullah has retired from tests,

Looks like Mahmudullah has retired from tests,

And the BCB god-mentor has already commented that it is unacceptable as he had come to his place twice to discuss his future.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Oh Papon, let Riyad retire in peace nah

" Interestingly, during Bangladesh's last tour of Zimbabwe in 2013, Mushfiqur Rahim announced his resignation as captain in the middle of the ODI series. He overturned his decision after returning home, and captained Bangladesh for another four years. "

Good stuff from both these lads. Both have got their averages up to 33 now. Problem is, they've made the bulk of their career runs either against Zimbabwe, or on surfaces that better resemble Route 66 than any test match pitch worth the name.

Need them, and several others, to start performing when the going gets tough.

 

[cnerd123]

Hope Taylor hits a ton here. In a losing cause mind.

When's the last time we had a 100-run partnership in a Test match where one batter has contributed just single digits?

Could be on track for that here.

Unfortunately not to be.

Was so close too. Got out to a poor ball as well.
