Zimbabwe ke assistant coach Dion Ebrahim ne star batter Sean Williams ka support kiya jab unhone Bangladesh ke against Chattogram Test ke pehle din ek risky sweep shot khel kar apna wicket gawa diya. Williams ne is tour mein back to back fifties lagayi hain aur unka 67 run ka valuable knock collapse se pehle team ko 178/4 tak le gaya tha.
Par jab unhone Nayeem Hasan ke against paddle sweep khela toh wo out hog aye, aur Zimbabwe ne 227/9 par din khatam kiya. Ebrahim ne press conference mein kaha:
“Mujhe uske shot se disappointment nahi hai. Williams spin ke against world class player hai, aur sweep unka ek trusted shot hai. execution thoda galat tha, but decision galat nahi tha.”
Nick Welch ko hue cramps, retire hurt
Zimbabwe ke opener nick Welch ne bhi 54 run banakar strong start diya but severe cramps ke chalte unhe retire hurt hona pada. Ebrahim ne bataya: “Unka dono forearms aur hamstrings mein cramps the. Humne treatment diya, Par tea ke baad condition aur kharab ho gaya.”
Aur 40-50 runs chahiye the: Ebrahim
Unhone kaha ki wo score se thoda disappointed hain, par pitch ke behavior se unhe hope bhi hai: “Hum chahte the ki aur 40-50 run add ho jaaye. Par pitch pe pehle session se hi turn mil raha tha, toh hu optimistic hain.”

Ebrahim ne bataya ki ximbabwe ne extra spinner isliye liye hai kyunki Chattogram mein aise hi conditions expect kiye ha rahe the. “Game abhi bhi balanch hai jab tak dono teams pehli innings nahi khel leti. Pitch turn de raha hai, aur humare bowlers pressure create kar sakte hain.”
