Bangladesh Tour of Zimbabwe July-August 2011

[1iram1]

Well, this is rather disappointing.

Tigers' travel hassle

The Bangladesh cricket team ran into some complications on their journey to Zimbabwe for a Test and five-ODI tour in Doha yesterday. After their long stopover in Doha the Tigers and the accompanying journalists were denied passage to Johannesburg because they were without South African transit visas, the possession of which is a new regulation for passengers passing through South Africa. The BCB were apparently unaware of this new rule, and after communication with the authorities in South Africa, the situation was resolved and the team continued on their journey after a one-hour delay.

Their 13 per side but there will be only 11 batting They are 76 for 6 and I am hoping for a cracker of a series this.

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

This has been a great partnership. 36 runs, 9.1 overs

Their 13 per side but there will be only 11 batting

Bad start for Bangladesh. 188 all out !!

Zim XI are 42/4

Ashraful with a duck. Why am I not surprised. Although he wasn't the only one...Shakib and Siddique got ducks too.

Good stuff from Rahim and Nasir Hossain.

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

A good days play end. 14 wickets down and interestingly poised. Although this is just a warm up match, its got what this series is going to be. Low scoring thrillers

Feared something like this would happen. But looking forward to watching Robiul Islam bowl against Zimbabwe. This guy actually has muscles unlike the rest of the Bangladesh team. They're all skinny.
Robiul Islam during the test series against England:

no calves

Bangladeshis have come back nicely. Craig Ervine put up a fight tried staying on crease but no support on other hand

After bowling out Zimbabwe XI for 113 runs they are 2 down for 7. Come on Bangladesh you have been playing 3 day matches and your perform this way?

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Both Kayes and Siddique bowled early. Must be one hell of a pitch, BD 88/5 now.

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

They are 102 for 7 currently. 177 runs lead it is and it looks Bangladesh will win it seeing Zimbabwe's batting performance

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

Zimbabwe are 3/2 on stumps and its


They will get all out on 52
