What's new

Bangladesh tour of the West Indies (2022)

This is pretty much the last capable pair.

After that, tail starts and they can barely bat.
 
Shakib saves the innings defeat.

But only a lead of 27 at the moment.

Surely BAN need to set WI an awkward 145 target to even have a smidgen of a chance.
 
Shakib has a chance to make the target a tough one for WI...
 
Shakib is out.

232/7.

Tail starts now. They can barely bat. This innings should be over soon.
 
The main man Shakib gone.

Can Bangladesh scrape another 100 runs.

1998 ICC Champions trophy. Also, many important Test series (Australia 2008, England 2008 etc.).

Furthermore, check how many runs Kallis has.

13289 runs in Test and 11579 runs in ODI.

292 wickets in Test and 273 wickets in ODI.
 
Bangladesh used to have capable tail-enders like Mashrafe, Abdur Razzak, Tapash, Shahadat etc.. They could hit big and score runs.

These new guys (tail-enders) can't bat at all.

The last 2 lines are only important, winning or not winning a major trophy doesn't make or make a player ATG.

Winning trophy is a combined effort, not any player can single handedly win a trophy.

Shakib's performances in 2019 world cup was fantastic, he could have been the player of the series with 600 plus runs and 11 wickets. Others didn't shine bright like him in the team, how he could win a trophy then?

Lara didn't win a major trophy. Isn't he an ATG?

The term ATG gets thrown around too easily nowadays.

Every Tom, Dick, and Harry gets called an ATG. That's not how it works.

Only cricketers who can be considered as ATGs from present time are Root, Kohli, and Smith (Babar is slowly getting there). Rest are just good players.
 
Nurul goes to a big swipe away from his body. And any hope Bangladesh had in setting WI a tricky target in this Test match is over.
 
Middle and lower order showing some fight and spirit that they should have shown in the first innings.

By the way where's Mushfiqur?

Do you think Shakib is an ATG?

4113 runs in Test (average of 39.17). 6755 runs in ODI (average of 37.73).

224 wickets in Test. 285 wickets in ODI.

These are okay figures. But, how is he an ATG?

He faced a lot of Zimbabwe too.

TBH, I think Bangladesh should groom new players. They are still too reliant on likes of Tamim, Shakib, and Mushfiq.

Bangladesh need more from the next crop of players, particularly the batsmen. Liton Das appears is being groomed for captaincy. Nurul looked solid here.

There was talk about Yasir Ali but unfortunately got injured in the side match.
 
The heck is this Bangladesh tail ?

Khaled Ahmed averages 0.44 after 13 innings :))

Yeah.

I think BD have the worst tail among Test nations currently.

Ebadot averages 1.09. LOL.

It is a shame because BD used to have an okay tail (could hit sixes and score runs).
 
Wow those averages :)))

I thought England’s tail was bad.

Bangladesh’s lower order is like can’t even hold a bat in the back garden level.

Indeed.

I think they are worse than Chris Martin.

Batting coach should work with the tail. They should at least learn how to slog.
 
Bangladesh tail enders batting worse than Geoffrey Boycott’s mum with her kitchen sweeping brush.
 
Roach equals Michael Holding in the all-time wicket-takers' list for Windies.

Well done.

Yup.

Mindboggling really.

Modern day tail-enders have to be better than this.
 
West Indies lose their 3rd wicket.

WI - 9/3.

Khaled gets his third wicket.

Surely not!

Even Windies can't mess this up.
 
WI run rate in 1st innings was too low.The best form of defence is attack provided it is not wreckless.In 2nd innings the run rate is much better.
 
Roach puts West Indies on brink of first Test victory

Kemar Roach's 10th five-wicket haul in Test cricket has West Indies poised for victory in the opening Test against Bangladesh in North Sound.

West Indies on track for victory

The Caribbean side are just 35 runs away from winning the opening Test at North Sound, after they dominated the third day of the contest against Bangladesh.

West Indies will resume on day four at 49/3 and within striking distance of an easy victory target of just 84 in the opening Test.

Opener John Campbell (28*) and Jermaine Blackwood (17*) are unbeaten and the West Indies should have few problems picking up the remaining runs early on the fourth day and claiming some valuable World Test Championship points.

West Indies currently sit in sixth place on the World Test Championship standings and a win here will keep them in touch with the top five teams.

It has been a solid team performance from West Indies thus far, with veteran pacer Kemar Roach the chief destroyer on the third day.

Kemar Roach and Kyle Mayers derail Bangladesh line-up

Bangladesh resumed Day 3 on 50/2, trailing West Indies by 112 runs. They had an uphill task in front: to bat through the entire day, recover from the opposition's first-innings deficit and set up a strong target.

However, West Indies came all guns blazing in the opening session. Kyle Mayers provided his side with an early breakthrough, getting rid of Najmul Hossain Shanto, who fell for 17. The right-arm seamer took advantage of the bouncy pitch, inducing an edge which was well caught by Campbell at first slip.

His next target was Mominul Haque, trapping the Bangladesh batter in front for 2, reducing the visitors to 75/4. Two quick wickets put West Indies on top, as they continued to build pressure.

Set batter Mahmudul Hasan Joy was then joined by Liton Das as the two looked to rebuild the innings. After facing a few deliveries, Das slammed two back-to-back fours off Alzarri Joseph, contributing with much-needed runs for his side.

Joy needed a partner to stitch an important partnership, but Roach had other plans. The West Indies pacer not only did claim Das' wicket, he even took the prized scalp of Joy, who was undone by a back-of-a-length outside-off delivery.

Joy fell after making a disciplined 153-ball 42 as Bangladesh went to Lunch reeling at 115/6.

Shakib class gives Bangladesh some hope

Shakib Al Hasan used all his experience as he combined with wicketkeeper Nurul Hasan to provide the visitors a glimmer of hope with a century stand for the seventh wicket.

The pair batted superbly to ensure the hosts would need to bat once more, with Shakib eventually succumbing to Roach for a more than handy 63.

Roach picked up his fourth wicket when Hasan departed shortly after for a well-compiled 64, leaving the West Indies pacer plenty of time to complete his five-wicket haul.

Alzarri Joseph (3/55) chimed in by dismissing Mustafizur Rahman for seven, before Roach completed his 10th five-wicket haul in Test cricket by clean bowling Ebadot Hossain for one.

What is going wrong with Bangladesh's top-order batters? There is no simple answer to this question.

Following one debacle after another in Test cricket, the Bangladesh team management and players recently echoed the same sentiment: 'mentality' was the main culprit behind the failures.

For all latest news, follow The Daily Star's Google News channel.
But one could also question exactly how good Bangladesh's batters are in terms of proper preparation and sound technique after yet another purposeless top-order batting display in the second innings of the first Test against the West Indies in Antigua yesterday.

The dismissals of the top-order batters offered no clues as to whether they had any idea about the pace bowling they were going to face in West Indies.

However, Bangladesh head coach Russell Domingo acknowledged the poor performance of the batters and said the score his side posted on the board is not enough while talking to the reporters after the end of the third day's play.

"It's not good. Too many soft dismissals and poor decisions with the bat in both of the innings, 103 runs in the first innings and 245 in the second, you've got to get more than that," Domingo said.

Captain Shakib Al Hasan and wicketkeeper-batter Nurul Hasan Sohan staged a fightback after Bangladesh were reduced to 115 for six at lunch during the third day's play and the two batters finally built the handsome partnership that their team had desperately needed.

Bangladesh started the second session trailing the West Indies' total by 47 runs and the pair's efforts enabled the visitors to avoid an innings defeat and take a slender lead.

Shakib completed his second fifty of the match and was batting with an attacking approach while Sohan was providing good support, dismissing the notion that the match would finish inside three days.

Bangladesh were staring at the prospect of defeat inside three days after closing the second day on Friday at 50 for two in their second innings, needing 112 more runs to make the West Indies bat again. West Indies captain Kraigg Brathwaite said that the first hour of Day Three would be crucial.

Left-handed batter Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mahmudul Hasan Joy looked to turn the tide in the first hour of the third day but Shanto was the first to depart, falling to a Kyle Mayers delivery which came in and kicked a bit off the surface, taking an outside edge to the slip cordon. Shanto's departure reduced the visitors to 64 for three.

Joy was joined in the middle by former captain Mominul Haque, who was looking for some runs after opting to leave his captaincy. But he did not last long. Having survived an in-swinging delivery from Mayers, which went for four streaky runs, the left-hander eventually succumbed to another in-swinger from Mayers soon.

The 29-year-old has scored a grand total of 28 runs in his last nine innings and his average, close to 60 not long ago, is now hovering around 37.

Coach Russell Domingo highlighted the lack of confidence of the batters has led them to yet another debacle.

"The batters are low on confidence at the moment, big players like Mominul [Haque], Shanto [Nazmul Hossain] are low on confidence. Having confidence is a big thing in the game of cricket, but at the moment, it's not there in the batters," Domingo added.

It looked as if Liton Das would provide some resistance in company of a patient Joy. However, after stroking a few gorgeous boundaries, Liton chased one way outside off stump against Kemar Roach, causing his downfall for just 17.

Bangladesh were 100 for four at that stage, precariously close to an innings defeat.

Joy's long vigil, featuring 42 runs off 153 deliveries, came to an end when he poked at a Roach delivery away from his body, with wicketkeeper Joshua da Silva taking a diving catch.

All those dismissals exemplified the poor technique of the Bangladeshi batters against quality deliveries.

Shakib and Sohan were in the middle when lunch was taken and they continued to frustrate the West Indies bowlers to bring some sort of respectability to what has been a generally ordinary effort by the tourists with the bat so far in this match.

I personally don't rate Shakib as an ATG. My point was to winning a major trophy should not be a criteria. Richard Hadlee was an ATG without even a trophy , let alone a major one. Even NZ didn't beat a major team in a series on their den in his career time as far as I can remember as NZ was as a whole a week test and ODI team. Still Hadlee was an ATG considering his own performances in test cricket.

Shakib may not be an ATG but he isn't a random TOM, HARRY OR a Dick too. His numbers isn't big , the main reason is he plays for Bangladesh and Bangladesh doesn't get the opportunity to play lots of matches. But his numbers considering how much matches he have played is fantastic.He is the quickest one among all aronders in history so far to reach double milestones of 200 test wickets and 4000 test runs, 6000 ODI runs and 250 ODI wickets and I am sure he will be the quickest in terms of innings to reach 300 test wickets, 5000 test runs and 7000 runs and 300 wickets in ODIs. I rate him very highly personally among his era of time. Let's see how he can take himself in coming years.

Bangladesh are no better at test cricket (the most difficult format by far and the only true litmus test of how good a team is) then they were 20 years ago. And this is with their golden crop of Shakib, Tamim, Mushfiq, Mahmadullah, Liton, Fizz, Miraz and Taskin. What is the point of playing Bangladesh in test cricket?
 
It's not going to get easier in St Lucia - probably the most supportive wicket for seam in the Caribbean recently.
 
Needing just 35 runs to win on the fourth day, West Indies wrapped up the game quickly to go 1-0 up against Bangladesh at North Sound.

The win helps West Indies solidify their sixth spot in the World Test Championship, with 12 points taking their point percentage to 43.75. The win helps them edge closer to Pakistan, who are fifth with 52.38%.

Bangladesh, who are currently at the bottom, sink further with their point percentage dipping to 14.81.

West Indies had an early scare in the fourth innings chasing 84, where they were reduced to 9/3. However, John Campbell and Jermaine Blackwood bailed the team out of trouble, leaving them needing just 35 runs at the start of day four.

Campbell smashed two boundaries in the second over the day to remove the jitters, if there were any. Campbell went on to score his first fifty at home and finished the game off with a six.

The two teams will next clash on 24 June at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in Saint Lucia.

The Tale of the Test

West Indies' decision to bowl first after winning the toss reaped immediate dividends as they bowled out Bangladesh on the first day of the Test. It was a nightmare for the hosts, who lost six of their batters to a duck. They managed to get only 103 and had their new captain Shakib Al Hasan to thank for scoring almost half their runs (51).

In response, West Indies almost wiped off the deficit by stumps on the first day. They were cruising along at 197/3 with skipper Kraigg Brathwaite closing in on a century. However, his wicket turned out to be a turning point. Mehidy Hasan Miraz later struck thrice in his consecutive overs as Windies eventually folded for 265.

Trailing West Indies by 162 runs at the start of their second innings, Bangladesh once again stuttered in their start and found themselves at 109/6 at one stage. Staring at an innings defeat, Shakib once again held the fort with Nurul Hasan keeping him company. They added 123 runs for the 7th wicket and forced West Indies to bat again.

Kemar Roach recorded his 10th Test five-wicket haul, running through the lower order en route.

Chasing 84, West Indies made a meal of it early on and were three down for just nine runs before John Campbell and Jermaine Blackwood steadied the ship.

After Windies 7 wicket win in the 1st Test against Bangladesh

Bangladesh Test captain Shakib Al Hasan said the batting performance in the first innings where his side were bowled out for just 103 in 32.5 inside just more than one session, was 'not acceptable'. He said the other batters in the side can take a leaf out of Nurul Hasan Sohan's book on how to apply themselves in tough situations.

Bangladesh were bowled out for 53 and 80 runs in South Africa where there batting effort was calamitous against spin. Then against Sri Lanka at home, when they found a flat wicket at Chattogram, they looked back in touch. Then in Dhaka, where there was a little help for seamers, Bangladesh came up with a familiar look with the bat as top-order collapse in both innings of the Dhaka Test led to them losing the series.

Shakib was handed the captaincy following the Sri Lanka series, but has not been able to solve the side's batting issue just yet. Bangladesh top-order once again collapsed in both innings of the Antigua Test as the hosts picked up a seven-wicket win.

Asked at the post-match presentations on the batting effort in the first innings, Shakib said it was unacceptable.

"It's not acceptable and we have been doing it quite regularly now in Tests. The last four or five Tests we have played, we have done that pretty regularly. It's not acceptable. Batsmen need to stay in the wicket and score runs and that's how at least survive the Test match and then bowlers will win you the match. That's a simple equation that we need to work on and get better at it," Shakib said today.

Despite the lack of application from other batters, Shakib himself picked up fifties in both innings. His 123-run stand with Nurul Hasan minimised the margin of defeat in the end. Nurul came in at a tough situation when the top and middle-order had already crumbled. He applied himself better than most and Shakib praised the wicket-keeper's determination under pressure.

"I think there was a lot to be learned from that innings. Nurul played really well and he was under pressure. I won't say he wasn't under pressure but the way he applied himself showed a lot of character and what he is capable of. I think our other batsmen can take the challenge that Nurul took. They can take the same approach and play some good cricket in next match," Shakib said on Nurul.

Shakib, who scored half centuries in each innings of a Test for the fourth time and the second time against West Indies, said that his idea was to keep things simple and play his natural game.

"I was positive in my batting. I wasn't thinking the ball will do this or that. I kept my game simple. If it's there to hit, I will do so or else I will survive. That was the simple game plan that always worked for me and that's how I was successful, so I am not changing that," he concluded.
