Bangladesh (467 & 191/6) beat Sri Lanka (338 & 319) by 4 wickets to win 2nd Test (100th Test for BD)

[roshanrocks]

And first one departs.... Captain Herath strikes.

Bangladesh need to be careful here.

 

[MMHS]

Another 10for coming for Herath

 

[roshanrocks]

Captain takes out Kayes as well, 2 off 2 balls., on a hattrick

 

[roshanrocks]

Another 10for coming for Herath

I have hope in Mushfiqur and Tamim...

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Bangladesh finding all the ways to lose this match

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Can Bangla score 190??? Won't be easy, that's for sure. Sandakan is the real danger for them. Playing sla's like hereath is bread and butter for Bangla.

We will lose. Don't worry.

 

[MMHS]

I have hope in Mushfiqur and Tamim...

Mosaddek also plays spin very well, but he is on debut. Chasing 191 is never easy, but when you think last 3 wickets for SRL added 143 & 102 in a tight match, probably they deserve to win, or rather we don't deserve.

 

[MMHS]

Herath is probably best ever spinner with new ball. I have seen him countless time using new ball to spin & then bring the armer sharp. It might not be as tough after 35 overs, but we might be 105/6 by then.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

What a difference of captaincy between mushi and herath. Mush should be sacked as captain.

I have faith in none when bd has any chance to win a match.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Bangladesh emerging as the best choker of this era.

 

[MMHS]

Not Mushi's fault entirely. Usual strategy against tail is to take the pace out of spin & float it above eye line; yesterday both spinners were darting, particularly Sakib with all the experience.

 

[MMHS]

SRL's two wicket taking threats are 39 & 35 years old - they badly need to bring one SLAO spinner under Herath, otherwise their attack is too limited.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Bangladesh have a good chance of beating pakistan in BD and UAE , bring on the test series.

 

[JibranAnsari]

The only way srilanka are gonna win is if herath takes 8 wickets.

 

[volcyz]

Relax guys it's only 2 wickets.

 

[Executioner]

Bangladesh emerging as the best choker of this era.

Many top teams have and would lose in such situations including Australia and India. Don't worry.

And we still have 6 batsman left. 4 are quality

Exactly

AUS/ENG/NZ/PAK have all recently lost games on day 5 out of the blue.

Still can't believe how NZ won vs Pakistan in the last session of the test at the end of last year.

 

[Executioner]

Bangldesh should just relax. BD played well so far having lost the decisive toss.

 

[Executioner]

Can Bangladesh hold onto their nerves?

It's a game of nerves for Bangladesh.

 

[Executioner]

Even though bangldesh haven't done exceedingly well it's great to see the maturity with which we have played the current tests. If anything it's an indication of the importance of longer format cricket. No one takes us lightly anymore

Bangladesh needs to play more cricket, even it it's against Afghanistan.

The key here is not skill development but rather mentality.

If we can manage a win here and there it would give confidence in winning more such situations. Even if we fail then there is next time.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Hey man Everytime you sound like Shamim + Azhar we lose a wicket and I get butterflies in my stomach

You might want to consult a doctor. Willing to share my contacts

 

[MMHS]

We are probably the most stylish batting line up around. In these days of sledge hammers, each & every BD player plays with lighter bat & very high back lift. Not much brutal in cut, but each & every one is artist while driving. Footwork against spin is also very good.

Probably,this is the contribution of Whatmore in BD Cricket. Most of his pupils in SRL & India are also fantastic drivers.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

I hope BD win this one. The RRR is not high, so need to play with patient. Hope they don't collapse.

Perhaps the only one who is not stylish is Shakib. Mushy isn't too stylish tbh but Great technique. Mosaddek is ugly against pace.

Even miraz is stylish

 

[roshanrocks]

103 more to get, these two are playing very well, sri lanka need some luck to win from here.

and sabbir is aboveall..

 

[Executioner]

If it was some other team it would be a cakewalk but for a team that struggles in chasing it's not as easy.

 

[Executioner]

and sabbir is aboveall..

And Soumya against pace.

Sabbir is one player worth watching. His only issue is too many attractive 40s and 50s and nothing much more.

 

[cricket.mad]

BD winning this match is good for test cricket..go BD go..

 

[MMHS]

First target achieved - target below 100 with 8 wickets at hand, more importantly 2 set batsmen.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Soumya is the only stylish playa in our line up, boss is like Haydos

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Soumya ate Morkel for breakfast, he was having a lean patch, but boss is back

 

[MMHS]

and sabbir is aboveall..

I think, most stylish guy is struggling a bit now, but when in flow, Mominul is a treat to watch - left handed Mark Waugh (with half height). Mahmudullah is one of the perfect cover drivers of the ball. If he can fulfill potential, Liton will be another one.

It must be due to the coaching at early stages.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

They were all coached by Ashraful so credit goes to him

 

[Executioner]

Never seen a stylish batsman so efficiently give slip catching practice.

I am sure IPL teams will pay him millions for his service

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Another 78 runs to win

i have seen sabbir more than the other like mominul liton etc....it is fun to watch but he has to convert his 50 into big ones....today the right left combination is working for ban..

Sri Lanka time-wasting.

 

[Dios]

Sri Lanka have switched to negative tactics now. Just trying to delay Bangladesh's win as much as possible.

Sri Lanka have switched to negative tactics now. Just trying to delay Bangladesh's win as much as possible.

That only plays into the hands of bangldesh. The batsman can relax and will have time to think.

Also fewer overs to play before tea.

68 more runs needed.

Winning this match is more important than anything

 

[MMHS]

Sri Lanka have switched to negative tactics now. Just trying to delay Bangladesh's win as much as possible.

In SRL, every team will do so - it rains regularly in afternoon.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

100 run partnership is up. Hope they end the innings till victory.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Tamim in flow is lovely to watch.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Praying for no rain comes today.

 

[Executioner]

This has to be Tamim's best innings ever

Day 5 pitch. Crunch match. A chanceless innings where he simply dominated the opposition

 

[MMHS]

around 45 minutes till tea - umpires have the right to extend the game by 30 minutes, therefore it should end before tea.

 

[MMHS]

Day 5 pitch. Crunch match. A chanceless innings where he simply dominated the opposition

I think, one of his ENG innings in 2010 was better considering the relative attack. Also, here his partner is playing equally decent, but that was almost lone battle.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Tamim is trying to start a collapse. This could be the turning point of the match.

 

[Dios]

Can't believe what Tamim just did.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Hathuru is very much disgusted by tamim. He will beat tamim.

 

[Executioner]

around 45 minutes till tea - umpires have the right to extend the game by 30 minutes, therefore it should end before tea.

Didn't know about this rule when it comes to batting sides.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Tamim throw away his century without any reason

 

[MMHS]

It's ok - he counter attacked the main bowlers when the game was on edge. A century would have been great but playing for century doesn't produce such innings. Viv had only about 35 International hundreds, because his career was full of such 60s and 70s when the game was in balance.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Bangladesh 50 away from the victory of their 100th test match.

 

[Executioner]

Yup it's a about context. Those 82 runs scored by Tamim was valuable as any of his centuries except the one against England last October

 

[MMHS]

I thought, there was an edge ..........

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Bangladesh messing it up in the end.

 

[Dios]

That didn't look out. Looks like it's going to go down to the wire.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

I thought, there was an edge ..........

bangladesh should have paid for the sniecko or hotspot to the poor sl board or else leave the Drs. Without those DRS is crap.

 

[cricket.mad]

Shakib should steer it...

 

[MMHS]

DRS should never be with players.

Bangladesh total mess.

Not out.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Bangladesh now getting nerve attack.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Lankan spinners seems bowling much better than bd's spinners.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

The ball fooled everyone

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

150 up for bd. 39 runs for victory.

 

[anakwalajinn]

Have BD ever won a test match away from home excluding Zimbabwe and the West Indies?

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Need 35 runs in post tea break

 

[Imran Hasan]

Have BD ever won a test match away from home excluding Zimbabwe and the West Indies?

Nope!

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Have BD ever won a test match away from home excluding Zimbabwe and the West Indies?

Nope. Could have been win in 2003 vs Pakistan if Latif wouldn't cheat. That was the closest to win in any away match of bd.

 

[Executioner]

This could be a big day for our cricket

We will announce our arrival in the test arena. Bear in mind same team that annihilated Australia

 

[SunRay]

Can't believe what Tamim just did.

Really. After so many years u still can't believe it? It's his natural moronic game. Wait till shakib does the same.

Tamim is such a brilliant player. If only he had a bit of brain.

 

[SunRay]

Bangla have already announced it buddy. U guys have been playing quite well in test cricket for last 2/3 years.

 

[Shafi]

What he did???
Any video clip

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Bangla have already announced it buddy. U guys have been playing quite well in test cricket for last 2/3 years.

Now we need more matches home and away to gain confidence. We now need confidence to do well in test,technique and talent is there but just need confidence to fight every test team. Hope bd will be one of world beater within 5/6 years.

 

[leatherface58]

Bangladesh winning is great for the game. I hope this continues except against us of course. Tamim really needs to control his macho bullcrap. Tends to get so carried away sometimes.
