I was at the game myself as I'm here with my uncle. Bangladesh is an amazing country I never thought it would be so beautiful!

Mazkadzas innings was brutal! You know when the bat makes that...noise...you all know the noise I'm on about hwere it kind of echoes...well there was plenty of those shots! Raza was impressive too, showing his diversity at the crease.

Kamungozi bowled better than his figures suggests if i'm being honest. He doesn't turn it at all 😂 I laugh because it amazes me how he got wickets in fist class cricket but in T20 cricket he's actually a better option than Pro. Him and Mushangwe, in my honest opinion, should play all the games because they compliment each other very well. Kamungozi keeps it tight, and fires it into the legs, while Mushangwe actually turns it a lot, and his googly was hard to pick by the looks of things.

Maruma needs to go. What he brings to this side is beyond me, because his bowling was appauling. Williams is going to be a handy option. Lovely six to finish the game from him as well, just showing his class.

Taylor looks scratchy but who cares, he's the GUY!


You are in Bangladesh?! I have always wanted to go the subcontinent.

But has anyone a clue what our best bowling line-up would be?


Precisely mt thoughts. Excellent win yesterday, but what is our confidence on the pacers going into the first match? We haven't let Vitori and Shingi bowl a single delivery across the two practice matches and both of them, Shingi in particular, have a bit to offer with the bat too. So, what are we going to do?

1. Utseya, Mushangwe, Kamungozi, Williams + Hamilton, a Pacer?

2. Utseya, Mushangwe / Kamungozi, Williams + Hamilton, 2 Pacers?

I would prefer Chatara followed by Shingi - pure gut feeling, the latter. Chatara has to play, he is our no. 1 quick now.

I'm starting to like these new kits, bright and new and a little classy too:

This kit kinda reminds me of the 1995 kit that we wore when we beat England. I'm liking it :D

And yes I'm in Bangla. I'm watching the opening game tomorrow :)

Wow good effort, impressed that you survived the journey between Chittagong and Sylhet that is some serious miles covered for the warm up matches.

Hope you will be shouting for the whole of ZCF :D

Whats the coast line like at Sylhet? as i have heard from friends that its supposed to rival PE for scenery, particularly the view of the local islands
