SMS from Zimbabwe
Sports Reporter
After radio and television here comes SMS (short message service) in the world of sport. The technology has proved very handy for journalists wanting to know what the Bangladesh A team is up to in Zimbabwe, where access to information is tough.The latest SMS arrived in Dhaka at 8.15pm on Sunday read Zimbabwe A were 97-3 at tea on the third day of the third and final Test at the Kwekwe Sports Club. The home side took a 115-run lead after the second string national team added 28 runs to their overnight score of 223-7. But that was the most that SMS could provide. According to a CricInfo Day Two scoreboard, the tourists limped to 223 for seven after wrapping up the Zimbabwe A innings on 269. Bangladesh A began badly, losing both openers with just 20 runs on the board. From that position they mounted a recovery through Tushar Imran, who made 58, and Saqibul Hasan who chipped in with 47. But there was a further change in fortunes after the two were separated by Blessing Mahwire who captured four for 43 from 19 overs. The Bangladesh team has already clinched the three-match series 2-0 winning both the previous four-day Tests at Bulawayo.
