[MMHS]

It's a bit disappointing pick of XI - if Mushi is to skip PAK series, then they should have rested him for ZIM as well. Yasir should have got his chances here for that middle order spot.

I was expecting at least couple of players from the U19 squad to be in this - Shariful & Tanzid. They might add them in 3rd ODI, if it's already 2-0 by then, but BCB should have been bold here.

Bro!!! Looks like Zimbabwe is getting worse day by day. Made a big mistake to recall those oldies who are yet to win them some matches. Zimbabwe should focus on U19 or promising domestic players rather than these useless recycle players again and again.

Anytime people are question about players' performance both PCB and BCB should invite Zimbabwe. Players will score big and wipe out people's frustration.

After few years he will be same like Chibhabha type of player. There is no money in Zimbabwe so if he performs well and establish himself, he will retire early and play franchise leagues like Amir.

This is a very big issue for Zimbabwe. They keep on losing players.

Patriotism is missing. However, I really can't blame the players. Zimbabwe board is corrupt and incompetent.

Everywhere apart from India. Even Shane Watson retire early to play IPL/PSL....

can Bangladesh wrap this up quickly? I want them to win by 200 runs.

Hasnt Mashrafe retired yet? Why is he still playing?

 

[sweep_shot]

Mortaza is still using part-time bowler Mahmudullah. Is he high?

Get in proper bowlers and finish off the tail.

He should've retired a long time ago. Massive liability currently.

Bangladesh should have tried some of their U19 stars here.

Agreed. Would've loved to see Akbar Ali here.

But, Zimbabwe is still a Test nation and you don't want to take chances. BD can't afford to take chances.

Even BD's U19 can easily beat this Zimbabwe team.
Zimbabwe's present status is as bad as Kenya if not worse.

This Zimbabwe team is highly inconsistent. They drew a Test against SL a few days ago. They also beat Afghanistan in a T20 a few months ago. But, they also lost to Singapore and Netherlands.

Most likely hit or miss!!!! If they are lucky they can win but the quality of this team is really really poor. Imagine if they play against England/India/Australia they would have bowled out under 50.

Aussies will probably get them out for less than 50. I agree.

Imagine Starc, Cummins, and Hazlewood bowling against Zimbabwe.

All over.

BD won by 169 runs.

This is the largest margin of win in BD's ODI history.

Zim drew a test match against Sri Lanka recently.

[Ashraful_Rox]

Seriously getting out to Mashrafee, these Zimbabwean batsmen needs to retire also Tamim the freeloader uncle needs to sit at his brother's biryani restaurant and collect taka instead of hogging a youngster beauty's spot. Tamim and Mashrafee what a waste of space
