conditions are way different at the caribbean and zimbabwe. the caribean conditions are more like the subcontinent this days were spinners get help.

in zimbabwe the ball is seaming and swinging whole day which is something BD cannot negotiate well. and zimbabwe are well-equipped with bowlers suited to these conditions. robiul also did well in those conditions but no other batsmen except Taylor did well in this pitch. in fact other zimbabwe batsmen also struggled but taylor showed how to bat here.

we need to develop out technique and temerament to bat under these conditions otherwise we will continue to produce these kinda innings. regularly.
