As pathetic as it sounds, I expected better. I assumed that Zimbabwe will fold within 300 runs, which can still happen but very unlikely. If Zimbabwe declares tomorrow after lunch schore 400 runs, we will be in trouble... I would rather have them bat till Tea tomorrow and Bangladesh start their innings late and continue day 3 as the pitch becomes even more flatter. If bowlers can show a change of strategy, day 4 with ZIM will be tricky with 4 spinners BD has.. And Bangladesh needs to show their superiority in day 4-5.
All in all, good return to test cricket by Zimbabwe and good practice session for Bangladesh before their season starts.. I am happy that it is balanced and not a regular Zimbabwe thrashing as we got used to in the last 2-3 years!!
