Ervine 18 from 13, nice little cameo. Dont know about evey1 else, but that was a good innings, did what was needed for the team and upped the tempo nicely, unlucky to miss out. Good 1 mate!

250 enough?

[andybligz93]

250 is a great total we should be able to defend it unless we start off bowling poor early wcikets are the key to put pressure on tyhere middle order

The same old pull shot does Vusi in to the same bowler ...he needs to shelf it already...did say we will see what the middle order is made of and may shed some light on the debates we've had...trying times

Tried and tested...and passed with flying colours...Im happy

[TheBradDevil]

250 must be enough, all up to the bowling unit to be tight in line and length

[Zimfanatic69]

Confident start from Bangladesh.

[jimbo]

Ah we meddled with a winning line up, maybe I was wrong about jarvis, we will see

[Zimfanatic69]

Tamim off to a flyer.

BD look comfortable.

It looks like our weak start has finished us

[FlowerPower]

What Bangla has done differently and well is to be more patient and rotate the strike. We need to bowl tighter, which will lead to pressure which normally translates to wickets, when they default to playing shots to get out of jail. I prefer closing up one end and attacking on the other, Vitori and Jarvis are strike bowlers, use them with a Mpofu or Meth, that way you are more ballanced. Yes when you are lucky and wickets are falling all round its fine to have a two pronged attack, but its safer to contain on the one end, we have a decent total lets defend it its unlike defending 180 and you have to take wickets to win...having said that Mpofu getting a pasting...
