[Match Thread] Zimbabwe v Bangladesh: 2nd Test

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

You can't mention Kallis and H Masakadza in the same sentence.
Maybe Dale Steyn though? I'd say the numbers show Steyn is as good a bowler as H Masakadza.

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.

Tino mentions Guy Whittall too, in comparison

Tino just mentioned in commentary that Hami reminds also him of Guy Whittal, AFTER you wrote this Crimson

Congrats Nasir on the 50

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.

I'm not sure either. Perhaps Taylor wanted to try and get the wickets...which ultimately they did. Even now, it seems they are trying to get us out by trying to keep Sajidul on strike and by taking the new ball.

Ok, so we are a fair way behind. I guess we can only expect a 5 wicket victory rather than 7 or 8 wickets.

Shingi getting in a bit of early practice for the ODIs.

[Jemisi]

7 dismissal match for Richmond - Only the third time in test history after Wayne James and Tatenda Taibu - as rare as a century in each innings.

[foreignfield]

5 dismissals for Richmond in the innings, equals the record.

I hope Shingi can get his 5-fer

It would be a nice psychological thing to get them all out.
