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

[MMHS]

This kid is special - driving Herath effortlessly inside-out.

 

[saeed5646]

Just few months adjustment on faster wickets will solve that - he is not 35 years old youngster like Pakistan. He is in the age when players learn quick - in couple of years time, he'll enter the best few years of a batsman with lots of experience at highest level.

Well sir can you explain this some time your post are joke dragging pakistan in every thing is not very much cool sir

It hurt you, really? OK, my mistake - 35 is officially 2 years more than, latest youngster Asif Zakir.

Good partnership between the best player of national side and best domestic player in the country

Need another 100 at least. Could have been 370/3 by now, but for that last 15 minutes yesterday.

I don't think Sabbir would have lasted long anyways. Mushy got out to a gem.

Taijul's wicket is of no significance

 

[Square Drive]

Bangladesh need a 100+ lead considering they'll be batting last.

So according to you 30+ player should never make a debut i wonder what would you say about aus side who have just give debut to 35+ klinger in t20s naturally aus have immense talented player in their domestic than pak
The answer is simple domestic performance matters in every country

 

[Executioner]

Ideally bangladesh would want to bat till stumps.

Bare minimum is to bat till tea.

50 for Mosaddek - first of many, many to come.

Shakib 98* mosaddek 52*

Century for shakib. Congrats.

Century for shakib. Congrats.

I told you, he is doing his job. You need one flamboyant player in middle order, otherwise often team gets bogged down.

 

[Shafi]

If Bangladesh played with cool heads they can easily win this test series by 2-0. Sri Lanka just don't have any test bowler barring Herath.

 

[MMHS]

And, this is after bowling 33 overs.

1st Test was a bit different issue. Mendis played a match winning 180+ after being caught of no ball on his 1st ball. Once batting first a side puts 500, it's tough to save the match. Besides couple of players didn't merit selection.

I agree with MMHS, playing oldies will never improve our cricket rather destroy us at the end. Thanks to Inzamam

Innings victory?

Innings victory?

The only possiblity was for SL to win by an innings but we averted that

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Again shakib throwing his wicket

 

[MMHS]

Now, Mosaddek needs to bat aggressively. He has all sorts of shots, but unless the tail comes, he bats within a shell.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Innings victory?

hahaha....you can do great joke

 

[Executioner]

Shakib playing the reckless stroke of the day.

But seriously it was a top innings from Shakib today, absolutely pumelled the Lankans. The last 50 overs it was all chanceless

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Miraz needs to play a good knock. He is long due play a good inning. He never could bat to his potential. Today he needs to do that.

 

[Executioner]

I want to smack the selectors on their head for not selecting Miraz in ODIs. This guy is a quality offie and handy with bat.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

By tea.

Bangladesh 428-7 Ov: 116

Mosaddek 55*. Miraz 5*

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

This last recognized duo needs to bat at least full last session and try to get the lead close to 200 mark. Hope both bat till stump.

Quite optimistic

I would say bat around 25 overs today and the come back to bowl Lanka at the end of the day. Pressure will be on them

 

[Executioner]

Miraz and Mosaddek. The next generation of our cricket batting together. What a great sight.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Lead 100 up for Bangladesh.

Bangladesh 439-7.

Mosaddek needs to all fire up and save shuvashish.

How did Fizz Martin get to bat ahead of Roy

 

[Square Drive]

This match for me is more interesting than India-Australia atm.

 

[Shafi]

Sl will not survive with scoreboard pressure

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Bangladesh innings ends with 129 runs lead. Needed some more runs to dominate but if they can get early wickets it will give them chance to win this. Hoping for 2 or more quick sl wickets today.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Welcome

which scorecard?

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Mossadek look live up to expectation. If miraz could support him,he could have get maiden century. Not to worry,more (bangladesh's highest) will come.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Praying for at least two sick wickets before today's stump.

 

[Shafi]

Is Mustafiz is following his idol Amir and bowling in effective

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Is Mustafiz is following his idol Amir and bowling in effective

He is actually not a new ball bowler. Unlike Amir he is effective with old ball. Wait. He will do magic when ball gets older.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Looks like 100th test could be a draw.

 

[Napa]

The one senior player I like is Mushy. Imo he is the best batsman in the side and is a world class batsman off late, all that being a keeper

He really needs to mature and acquire gravitas. The one Bangladeshi player I find who does have that is Mahmudullah and he should be the captain in the future. Hope he recovers his form soon.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Why is Mosaddek batting so down the order :/

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

This guy should not be batting at no 8. Rightly said by Dean Jones.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Not to worry,after some day ,he will be number 3/4 of our test team soon.

Riad is a mediocre test cricketer.

Ashwin is a better test batsman and that is not even up for debate

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Right you are

Riyadh is rubbish in test.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Bangladesh need quick 2/3 wicket to stay on the line of victory

 

[JibranAnsari]

Sri lanka needs to give a target of 200 at least here.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

BD bowlers couldn't be impactful till now. Fortune not with mustafiz or bd about missed chance BD need wickets now or else they are going to lose. Disgusting captaincy by worlds worst captain mushfiq. We should get rid of mushfiq as captain.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Fielders letting bd down.

Sri Lanka now on lead.

Sri lanka back in the game , shabash lankans.

Well BD have had their share of luck. Remember, Shakib wouldn't have made anything of note had it not been for the dropped catch.

 

[Square Drive]

Disappointing how Bangladesh has managed to botch up another one.

SL should look to have a lead of around 225 by stumps with maximum 4 down. Then score 100 in the frst 15-20 overs tomorrow and give Bangladesh 325 to win in roughly 70 overs.

The way BD messed up that Test against NZ, SL should fancy their chances here.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Mustafiz has brought BD back in the match with 2 quick wickets.

 

[Square Drive]

SL in trouble now. Time for them to slow down and aim to bat until lunch tomorrow.

Advantage Bangladesh. They will surely go for the chase if the target is ~300, moreso if it's ~250 - both of which seem far for SL now after the poor stroke played by the 1st innings centurion.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

match winning spell by Mustafiz.

 

[Bangladesh_Fan]

Mustafiz strikes again, Sri Lanka 5 down with only 48 in the lead

 

[roshanrocks]

Bangladesh should win this from here.

Will this be the first away win for bangladesh?

No we beat windies and Zim.

But a major win this would be if we win.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

6 down. Bd needs to go out all guns. Karunaratne's wicket need to get as soon as possible.

 

[Ellipsism]

This Lankan batting is so bad, gifting wickets.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Need to continuous bowling change.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

This bad batting side whitewashed AUSTRALIA 3-0 !!!!!!!

 

[Imran Hasan]

Srilanka added 149 runs with 3 wkts in thier last inning so BD should not be complacent. Still pitch is not deteriorate that much so Lankan tailenders are going to fight tooth and nail. On the fifth day anything over 180 runs target would be tough for our batsman, I guess.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

2017 highest run getter in test:

-----Name------------country------Runs------Avg------100---50---

1. Shakib al Hasan BAN 535 59.44 2 2
2. Mushfiqur Rahim BAN 493 82.16 2 2
3. Steven Smith AUS 433
... Kane Williamson NZ 292
... Virat kohli IND 288

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

If bangladesh be complacent here and give another 100-120 runs then BD is going to lose this match. Need to book sl under 150 anyhow to get result in favor of bd.

 

[Shafi]

Sri Lankan tail order looks as bad as us

 

[Dios]

Aleem Dar denies a plumb lbw. Bangladesh don't have any reviews left.

 

[Shafi]

Looks like Aleem Dar is becoming worse since World Cup 2015. He was a great umpire now one of the worse

 

[Shafi]

Why Sl is doing tuk tuk. It will not help them in the long run

 

[Junaids]

Now we will see what Mustafizur Rahman is made of.

Sri Lanka effectively 87-6 and he has a new ball.

Is he just a limited overs specialist, or can he really bowl? The argument is about to be settled one way or the other..........

 

[SunRay]

What a pathetic decision by Aleem dar. It might cost Bangla their match. ICC should take a note.

 

[Junaids]

Why Sl is doing tuk tuk. It will not help them in the long run

Diruwan's 4 not out from 64 balls is looking particularly moronic.
