Jahurul Gone!!

6.1	Mbhalati to Jahurul Islam, FOUR, short and straight and pulled away powerfully to the deep midwicket fence.

[Naimul_Hd]

Mbhalati to Jahurul Islam, OUT, snick through to first slip where van Jaarsveld takes a regulation catch.

Soft dismissal. Nah, Jahurul is totally flop in this series.

[Rabz]

Jahurul has been utterly disappointing in this series so far.
Much had been expected of him.
A good run with the bat would have helped him to make his case stronger for the inclusion in the next series against Zimbabwe.
You can only help those who want to help themselves.

I suspect Jahurul is having problems with techniques on how to play on bouncy wickets.

[Rabz]

Recent overs . . . . 1 4 | . . . . . . | . 4 . . . . | . . . . 4 .

Thats not really a smart batting.
Converting those dots into singles makes all the difference.

Yah, me too.
That would be pretty alarming though.
Our fringe player struggling like that does not send a good message to anyone.
Of all the players in the team, Jahurul was/(is) one of the hottest prospect with test experience and possible solution to our middle order. But alas !!!

[Murad]

Superb batting!!! 3 gone for only 34 runs.

[Rabz]

So, all three has been snicks so far ???

[Rabz]

So, the early morning due is doing 'em boys!!
Just stay there for few more overs....

That has been the story of this series so far...from both sides though..

[Rabz]

Still . . . 4 . .
No singles...

[Rabz]

Survival seems to be the key here !!!

[Naimul_Hd]

It was bad toss to lose.

[Rabz]

Big chance for Saghir to make an impact.
