Thanks SMHasan. Corrected.

[al Furqaan]

why is shanto in the team...why not tapash? afterall, tapash is our 4th seamer in both forms of the game and shanto is not gonna be capped again...dumb move by selectors. even nazmul deserves a chance over HH.

All I want to see is his departure from BD cricket. He should lose his place to Mehrab/Sadat in the national team and to Golam Rahman in the next A team.

[sunniath]

may be it is too early,but since mehrab is playing so well in zim,selectors can give him a chance to open with shariar.

From Cricinfo,

Zimbabwe's selectors have made three changes to their A-team squad for the final four-day Test against Bangladesh at Bulawayo starting on Friday.
Keegan Meth, Chamu Chibhabha and Tino Mawoyo have been drafted in to replace Bernard Mlambo, Hamilton Masakadza and Kudzai Taibu. The selectors have also released Johannes Matigonda, who had been in the squad to learn.
Meth, the teenage allrounder who featured on the recent tour of the Caribbean, replaces Taibu who had a wretched time in the first two matches. Chibhabha is comes in for captain Hamilton Masakadza who has taken days off to study for his university examinations, while Mawoyo, a former Zimbabwe Under-19 captain, comes in for Bernard Mlambo.
Also joining the squad is Admire Manyumwa. A-team manager Givemore Makoni said they were bringing him in so that he could be exposed to the tour experience.
In the absence of Masakadza, Stuart Matsikenyeri will captain the side.

Bangladesh lead the series after their victory in the first Test while the second ended in a tense draw with Zimbabwe needing 28 runs to win from three overs with two wickets in hand.

"Bangladesh lead the series after their victory in the first Test while the second ended in a tense draw with Zimbabwe needing 28 runs to win from three overs with two wickets in hand."

Zimbos' got heart..i wish eleven of us got that instead of just 2 or 3.
But let's see what happens to the final one, i think we need to do little homework with pace department.

[bapzmania]

FROM CRICINFO

Tafadzwa Mufambisi and Tinashe Hove scored half centuries to give Zimbabwe A a fine start on the first day of their third and final four-day match against Bangladesh A at Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo.

Mufambisi, who came in at number six rode his luck to top score with 67 from 129 deliveries and dispatched nine fours while opener Hove was second best with 64 runs from 148 balls as Zimbabwe A, who won the toss and elected to bat closed the first day on 276 for 7 in 90 overs.

Mufambisi was given the benefit of doubt when yet to open his account drove left arm spinner Enamul Haque (jnr) to mid-off where the fielder juggled with the ball but eventually held onto it but umpire Kevan Barbour gave the batsman the benefit of doubt.

Hove put on 68 for the second wicket with Friday Kasteni (38) and then went on to share in a 71-run stand for the fifth wicket before Hove, who seemed on his way to a big score was run out going for a run that was never there.


Shakib Al Hassan and Haque picked up two wickets each but the latter who has given the home batsmen a torrid time in this series looked ordinary.

[cricman]

276/7 this A team is probably better than the Zim Nat'l players playing Club Cricket right now.

Pretty sure at least 1/2 of this Zim side may get a nod to play in the ODI vs BD in August. On the other hand only Enam jr and probably Sakib may get a chance to play vs Zimbabawe in the ODI series

[cricman]

Shanto 0/46 and Tapash 1/47, Rasel and Rajib gave Enam jr and Sakib much better support last year than this duo.

Zimbabwe A v Bangladesh A at Bulawayo, 13-16 Feb 2005
Zimbabwe A v Bangladesh A at Bulawayo, 19-22 Feb 2005
Zimbabwe A v Bangladesh A at Kwekwe, 25-28 Feb 2005

Even though the one day series we lost 3-2 by the end of the some of the players left at before the end of the tour and the opposition was better. Kick this duo out of any Nat'l team activities.

[Sam]

The match has not yet gone out of grip from BD A. During the last two matches, when Zim A have scored beyond 300 runs, they were having more than 300 runs at the fall of 7th wicket. If we can take some quick wickets (means, the remaining three) in the morning, it will be still within our control.

That's why Rasel and Rajib are regular in the National Team. Again it has been proved that the performance in the domestic league not always carry the best picture of a player until they are exposed to international level. It will be obvious if you compare Shanto's stats in the domestic league and that in the present tour.
