What's new

Australia [377 & 87/3] defeat Bangladesh [305 & 157] by 7 wickets to win 2nd Test, series drawn 1-1

No doubt Australia are ahead.

But if we have good first session tomorrow the tide could shift in our favor. like I said we need to play better cricket tomorrow. We reduced them from 250/2 to 377/9 which means they have a vulnerable lower order.

Bat 100+ overs

One has to wonder Why BD are so contempt to use ODI/T20 specialists in test cricket and that too in the top order. Players Like Sabbir and Sharkar are not test materials.
 
What's the weather forecast today? Need to know before my strong cup of coffee

Nepotism from Haturu but I am sure if they keep underperforming they are being ousted particularly if we keep losing match we should have won
 
Fizz was brilliant. People who says he is a one-trick-pony should get a reality check
 
One of the two free wickets have gone...another to go... Bd loosing for sure...need to sack hathuru and his favorite shoumya saarkhar
 
That dismissal actually tells SS isn't going to make it in Test. It was purely a worked out dismissal - perfect example of hanging the bat, without knowing where the off stick is.

Relax, let them play. It's quite interesting match so far. From 70/3 at 1st lunch we have crawled back a bit of ground.
 
Can Soumya be dropped in tests, heck even ODIs? How can you fall for the trap so easily?
 
Mushi needs to come at 4. If he can take out Lyon, Aussies'll struggle from other end.
 
Smith is probably changing Lyon's end to bowl him with the wind.
 
I am a bit disappointed that neither side tried any leggi here.
 
Unless Smith and co have to score 200+ at a run rate of 4.5+, they will go for it.

Well they have to
 
You mean Mushi & Momin. Need to break that lefti sequence

Yeah,that could also be done...any how I want to break that lefty combination..so much...smith and his bowlers need not to do any hard work for this ridiculous combination...the bowlers need not to change their line half the match
 
Bangladesh is playing too defensively.It won't work on this wicket.
 
I am a bit disappointed that neither side tried any leggi here.

Bangladesh doesn't have any decent leggie

Australia probably do. But I think the kind of pitches we have the ball turning square doesn't really help leggies. Which is why Moien Bhai destroyed us but Rashid didn't.
 
Kayes should raise his bat - into double figures .........
 
Tamim's record in his home ground is poor, getting poorer.
 
That was extremely low percentage shot against offie on this track.
 
Tamim's impatience cost his downfall [MENTION=136446]Mainul[/MENTION]

My point is if you stay in the wicket you will score runs. Imrul Kayes has scored more runs, yes more runs than Tamim in the test.

Test cricket isn't won by a bunch of players scoring 30s and 40s. It's won by a few players scoring 70+ while others will score 30 or less
 
I am also talking about test cricket. Sabbir started his career in domestic as an all rounder.

His control as a leggi is so poor that unless Aussies are chasing at 10+ ............
 
Bangladeshi batting is still not ideal for test cricket.
Bangladesh has the highest percentage of runs in boundaries in test cricket, about 54 percent. They haven't learnt yet how to take singles and twos and keep the score board moving.
Tamim's dismissal was the perfect example of it.
 
That was extremely low percentage shot against offie on this track.

Even more so if you aren't set.

This is perhaps the reason why Rahim and Shakib are rated higher than Tamim as batsman. Tamim is very inconsistent.
 
Thank you Kayes, for your service to BD Cricket in your Test career.

You can take singles to keep score board moving with occasional boundaries in loose deliveries.Thats the way big players build their innings.They give maidens also but also take singles and twos.

Bangladeshi batsmen are too much dependent on boundaries for scoring.When they give maidens,their next shots become adventurous.Bangladeshi batting tops the list of highest percentage of runs in boundaries in test cricket.
 
This Bangladeshi batting order is slightly bizarre.

Firstly Soumya Sarkar doesn't seem to be Test opener quality just yet.

Imrul Kayes is a serial failure, why has he been brought back and Mominul demoted in the batting order?

Shakib and Mushy bat at extremely random spots, shouldn't they be locked in at 4/5 considering they are probably two of the best BD batters?

That's because you have T20 specialist like Soumya and Sabbir in the team. And Imrul who scored half his run in edges.

Be patient.
 
Looks like hathuru read my comment on pp...send nasir..

All of them seem to have logged off :smith
 
Not patient enough, neither the team nor their fans, always playing in T20 or ODI mode :46:
Idk, this always seems to happen with Bangladeshi fans. The moment things look bad, they disappear. If Bangladesh fight back, they come back and talk smack.

Stick with your team even when they're down. That's what being a fan is all about.

Bengali fans can't handle defeat.

Bangladesh have taken a lead. Rain can still come to the rescue of Bangladesh. But I hope that the match will not be interrrupted by it. Let the deserving team win.

Rahim should come in at 4, Shakib is too loose, his pattern of dismissals is just too predictable. They need someone to stabilize the innings at 3 & 4, too many trigger happy gunslingers in that lineup!

Ermm I was here the whole time
 
Even when we are down and out our fans go to the stadium. That's nothing new. Our fans are pretty passionate
 
BD somehow needs to get a lead of around 120. With this pitch, that score could be competitive.
 
These hacks like Soumya and Sabbir should not be in the test Arena

Tamim
Litton
Mominul
Mosaddek
Shakib
Mushy
(Insert Anyone)
Miraz
 
Mominul ability wise is our best top order batsman. Should bat 4 from now onwards
 
Are these two last recognised batsman ? Tail will need to wag big time
 
From here 150 would give BD a chance, need a partnership
