[Match Thread] Zimbabwe v Bangladesh: 2nd Test

[foreignfield]

Missed the morning session, but from what I see/read I reckon BD will declare about an hour before tea or get bowled out going for quick runs. That means about two hours of Robiul today.

I can't see us lasting four and a half sessions ... unless Robiul breaks down and/or Vusi and Hami play a blinder.

There was a 7-8 over passage of play where only 5 or so runs were scored with a 7-2 off side field and Jarvis and Shingi bowling 2 feet outside off. Runs flowed on either side of that stretch though to get an overall session rate of 3.26 per over I believe.

Not sure why that field wouldn't have been persisted with. Sooner or later the BD batsmen would chase them.

Anyone seen Mutumbami's stumping. Shapr work?

Did not catch any action myself, but from the looks of it, both Sibanda catch, and Richie stumping were good.

Hamilton continues on his merry ways, with the ball

10% sharp work, 90% brilliant bowling.

Note: I didn't see the morning session, I am just guessing.




H Masakadza picks up another wicket!

Brilliant bowling average, Hami!

Somebody explain to me the Hami bowling phenemon! Kallis, anyone?

[foreignfield]

If there was a third Test next week I would be tempted to substitute Meth with a batsman and play Hami as the fourth seamer.

Hami = Kallis - 30 kph

Hamilton is really putting in a lot of thoughts in his bowling lines. Yesterday's wicket of Shakib was due to the frustration he created by bowling around the 5th stump on the off continuously, and trying the same and bowling the odd one on the off stump today. And the slight shape he gets is becoming very useful Not your average trundler. More on the lines of Steve Waugh and Guy Whittall.
