Lol be careful,
When I said the same thing two months ago people were calling me racist (wtf) and wanted me banned.
Height and pace have nothing to do with race and aren't specific to any race. Irfan, Jamieson, and Holder are all over 2 meters tall and from varying races. The response you got was probably in reference to your posting history.
The almost exact words were
‘You can coach a batsman to be world class but Pace is genetic. You can’t coach a pace bowler, you need a big playing pool to have a fast attack’.
If you/anyone think that’s racist there’s no hope.

And not to damper excitement, but to temper expectation,
Don’t jizz your pants just yet at seeing so Lichaa life in this pitch, because in general second innings we are going to face the saaaaame shit.
A) the pitch will flatten out by then
B) Taskin and Ebadat are only 6'2"...they are quicker so will get some bounce but not as much as Blessing who is 6'8" or Ngarava who is 6'4"

I’ll hazard a guess though and say that they are better bowlers than our guys are batsmen.
Zim bats only have two modes.
Block, survive, get 20 runs.
Or,
Play shots, lose their head, get 20 runs.

And that should be just one reason why you shouldn't deal in racism...the one time you say something sensible people will still see it as racist. Its like if Geert Wilders actually sees a bearded middle eastern guy acting suspicious but can't "say something" because he's made a career out of Islamophobic alarmism.

IDK about the quality of Taskin or Ebadat - they've played a combined total of like 15 Tests. I do believe they have great potential...both are 90 mph bowlers, I think Ebadat is getting close to express level.
But I think you're being needlessly pessimistic. Test is ZIM's best format now and its Bangladesh's weakest. Its an away game for us in a place we haven't toured in 8 years and its a greentop with pace and bounce.
Mominul getting all his runs on the leg side which is great because 75% of his career runs have been scored cutting to point.

People did good thing and need to be thanked what their views on you.
