and they made this pitch for spinner?

From the begining they were saying that this pitch will help the spinner from the 3rd day, on the contrary it still seems batting paradise.

I think they should make the second test's pitch more spin friendly.

NO it was not a batting paradise....

You can say that the pitch didnt help it should have been.

And you cant take away the batting of Zimbos ... specially Taibu & Chigumbura..... both of them played brilliantly..

I agree, just because our bowlers didn't click as much as we hoped for doesn't mean Zim didn't bat better. they are as desperate to win this test as we are, and when they play well i think we should acknowledge that.

That must have been one of the best batting I have seen from a desperate side. All credit goes to Taibu and Chigumbura (sp). I am sure our players tried the best they could but we just didn't get the breakthru we needed.

Nevertheless,, this is not a spin wicket. They batted well but why is it that there was noot enough cracks? Doesnt make any sense. The grounds committee must be careful for the rest of the matches. This is insane,, as practically Bangladesh doesnt have any advantage over the pitch condition..This is not a spin, turning pitch at all.
