What's new

Bangladesh [260 & 221] defeat Australia [217 & 244] by 20 runs to win the first Test

Dar has regressed alarmingly - they didn't even appeal seriously for LBW
 
Been a top partnership. Need to dismiss one of them soon. These 2 are good against spin and proper batsman.

Might try out mustafiz now
 
Handscomb gone

Renshaw looks impressive. Got a few chances but has looked good otherwise. Playing well on the front foot. Good height
 
Australia just can't play spin. Worse than NZ and ENG. Bangladesh should win this series by 2-0

Proteas got mauled by Moeen Ali just a month ago. SA, NZ, AUS, ENG. They all suck immensely. Don't see any of them winning a series in the subcontinent in the next 5 years

I don't see any non-Asian team winning a series in SA, NZ, AUS, ENG in the next 5 years either so its even stevens.
 
Why there is no outrage against this pitch. Its turning miles and dust exploding every ball

I think Home team have all the right to prepare the pitch that suits them. I get where you coming from, If it was being played in India, neutrals and media would've been going gaga over pitch.

Even the bangladesh commentator when asked by brendon Julian telling him that in England series pitch turned on third day but this pitch is turning from first day second session

He said pitches are prepared to suit home team laughingly

I havent seen the match so not sure how pitch is behaving. Is it like Pune like pitch we dished out against Australia?
Anyways, non asian teams are known to cry when they are served with spinning tracks but convinently ignores when they serve green tracks (so lush green that its hard to differentiate pitch from outfiield) to asian teams.
Id stand by my comment that home team can prepare whatever pitch they deem favourable as long as its not dangerous to bat on.

coming to match: catch dropped, absolute sitter. 9th wicket partnership is getting dangerous for Bangladesh
 
8th wicket partnership is going to take lead for aussies...rubbish bowling and fielding now by bd
 
Bangladesh gonna Bangladesh :kp Can't finish the job, still think australia will lose this easily
 
Shakib becomes the 4th bowler to have 5 wicket hauls against all 9 other test playing nations

Oh don't forget he also has 50s against every nation as well

That little he has to fix against SAF, with bat.

43 runs lead.Big one. Bangladesh should score 280.

180 should do, but yes, it's just 2nd day, so 280 is much better. Hope it doesn't end at 80 - 3 of the top 4 are dummy hand.
 
Lead of 43 here is like 100 runs.

Bangladesh Should score another 200 runs. 250 runs more to be extra safe
 
43 is still a good lead but Bangladesh should have got a 100 run lead atleast.

As long as they set a target of 250+, they will win.
 
Wicket probably has got little faster; if it's sunny tmro, top surface will crack further.

I thought the wicket was okay to bat on although the variable bounce was a problem at times.

The match was in our grasp when Smith was dismissed. BD will bat today and a good chunk of the first 2 sessions.

Match will be over by 4th day morning or afternoon
 
Need 280+ in this innings...hope they can make it to have chance to push for a victory...Shoumya should be dropped from test team
 
Bangladesh will easily score 350+. Australia should play practice match to improve their performance
 
84 & 5/68 at half way of this Test & another one at home to come; I think Shakib'll remain at No. 1 few more years now on. Also, IND's away tour is starting, which won't help their 2 spin all-rounders.
 
Most likely Bangladesh series will end test career of Warner, Khawaja and Maxwell

Warner will score 500+ at 75+ SR this winter in Ashes. Rest 2 were never that good, Maxi in fact isn't a Test player.

Warner? Seriously??? Warner is a permanent fixture in the Australia side in all 3 formats
 
Soumya should start attacking Agar with the spin; either way he is not likely to survive long.
 
Executioner said:
Let him carry his bat through tomorrow. If he survives it's a big confidence boost

He actually has done his job - taken lead past 80/0; now it's bonus time. But yes, ideally should try to end the day unscratched
 
Bangladesh can win this Test, congrats in advance [MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] and [MENTION=130260]Executioner[/MENTION]

Should win from this position, but still lots of work to be done. Normally, experienced teams don't allow opponents to come back from this position, but we have lost few Tests at home after 1st innings lead. Picture should be clear after 1st drinks of tomorrow.

Not a foregone conclusion but yes we should win.


Btw still think Shakib is mediocre and lacks impact? Scored 84 runs on a minefield and took 5-64 against Aussies

I've been very excited for this series a long time due to AUS ineptness in asia in general felt BD would have a big shot at winning their maiden series against a top 4 or 5 ranked side but then AUS were brilliant in IND which caused a bit of doubt. Think it's going to be a competitive series but BD should come out on top, need to be more ruthless but that will come from winning games.

If he wins this Test for his country maybe I'll change my mind :yk
 
You need to be a special kind of idiot to attempt to hit a six with fielders in the deep when you are off form and there is two overs left in day.
 
Tamim Iqbal is still there that's all that matters, he's key for BD
 
Despite rain threats, we have 2 days of full overs; need two more days of sunshine.
 
Soumya (FC average 29.20) and Shabbir (FC average 34) playing ahed of Liton Das (FC average 49.51) and Mominul Haque (Test average 46.88). This coach is doing serious harm to the team by his favouritism.

By the time haturi leaves he will leave Bangladesh in tatters

Real test batsmen like Litton Mominul are in the bench but ODI specialist are in the team hogging important spot
 
We need at least another 250 tomorrow...hope batsmen make it...hoping for 20 runs from taijul...
 
All we need to do is bat till tea. With 9 wickets in hand and 7 proper batsman left I think that's achievable
 
Soumya and Sabbir aren't yet ready for test cricket i think.Mominul and Mosaddek are lot better than them.Soumya has got unnecessarily inappropriate soft corner from Hatura
 
Bangla fans . Still a way to go but should the team pull this off where would you rank this win in terms of cricketing acheivement ??
Surely one of the bigger moments ??
Beating australia in test cricket is special . No matter what the strength.
