First session was pretty ordinary until Taylor and Masakadza came together. Maruma is barely a batsman let alone an opener

2/55 is not a great start. Absolutely it was Bangladesh's session. They know that if they get one more wicket it's pretty much all over. A lot of pressure on Masakadza and Taylor to score big. They are basically Zimbabwe's version of Hussey and Clarke.
How Meth and S Masakadza made the team ahead of Chatara is mystifying. He bowled so well in the West Indies

Huge praise to the selectors for persevering with Cremer though. He's being given chances which I love to see. It's the same reason I want to see Chatara persevered with, if you're going to debut players you have to give them a decent run in the side so they can find their feet. How long did it take for Steve Waugh to score a Test century?
