Bangladesh v England | 1st Test | Chittagong | Oct 20-24, 2016 | Day 4

[Ashraful_Rox]

I am just happy we picked up 20 wickets

 

[MMHS]

Hey man, please don't post anything positive. Everytime you say something positive, we collapse You are like Shamim + Athar

You know, how bitter it'll be, if the margin is lower than 50? (45 + that 5 for hitting the helmet)

 

[Executioner]

Alhamdulillah for a team out of test cricket for 14 months we have done really well.

Even if we lose this from now, I won't complain about our skills for the longer version. Its all about nerves now. This is going to be the most tightest session ever.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Has to be one of the tightest games of cricket over recent times. There was no point in the match where the equation favored one team heavily

1st Test at Lords was probably the most tense game of cricket for me after a long long time. Plus there were two 10 wickets haul both by a fast bowler and a spinner. One 42 year old centurion, a mind blowing reverse swing spell and packed house for all 4 days of cricket.

Pitch was extremely sporting for both batsmen and bowlers alike - Plus Sky HD so there that as well !!

This game is quite interesting as well IMHO....

 

[JattMaula]

Sabbir Rahman shall be called Sabbir sher henceforth.

Giving me hope again!

 

[Executioner]

I had no classes in the 4 days of the test, my classes resume tomorrow. Don't want to be in class while the match ends, so hope match ends today with BD winning. I wouldn't mind if both Sabbir and Mushy stays in the wicket till stumps

Very nervous.

 

[street cricketer]

Every south asian regardless of the rivalry or banter with BD are rooting for Bangladesh to get over the line to get that first victory.

Having tears in my eyes seeing Bangladesh fight back so well.

Joy Bangla!

I missed the game due to exams. Watch the others.

However, this match is unique in the sense that it is between two unequal sides.

One team who hasn't beaten a top side yet

The other don't want to lose a lower ranked side that hasn't played test for 14 months.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Relax dude....You guys have got this.....

where the after match party at mate ???!! I'll bring along some of my mates as well

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Be positive bro, Sabbir will win this and end Rashid's career Inshallah

Drop one class, if we are batting on 5th morning - it's worthy. Someone dropped an Engineering exam to watch Lara hitting 153*

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Let's just hope averages are not disturbed - Need the all the support from the Ummah as well !!

No party, its all haram

Ofcourse, will miss my 10 am class if it goes to the next day

But I won't be in front of my TV, my classes begin at 8am

So will do 2 classes and watch the match from phone

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

34 overs left, 107 runs to win, 4 wickets in hand, 1 Cholera patient in ICU. Anyone's game

 

[street cricketer]

[MENTION=136079]ahmedwaqas92[/MENTION] is looking to change ships as BD is looking slightly ahead at the moment.

 

[MMHS]

34 overs left, 107 runs to win, 4 wickets in hand, 1 Cholera patient in ICU. Anyone's game

5 wickets in hand - I don't mind losing 4, if we bat out the session (we can have extra 30 minutes today, light permitting).

 

[Bilal7]

Be positive bro, Sabbir will win this and end Rashid's career Inshallah

Or Rashid will make his career by winning this for England.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

yo bro cholera patient = shaiful islam

We will win this by 3 wickets, I have this feeling

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Or Rashid will make his career by winning this for England.

Yeah man, he has been the most overrated English spinner/ cricketer I have ever seen, 7+ years of International cricket, playing first class cricket in one of the best first class system, yet he has no control whatsoever. The guy is rubbish, he will bowl one beauty and bowl short, against India, this guy's career will end.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Golden chance for Bangladesh. And this is just day 4 they have got plenty of time and overs left. How many points will england lose if bangladesh wins this?

 

[Bilal7]

He can be dangerous when he gets it right. Got a five-for against Pakistan recently.

Never Burn them Bridges completely man !! It's a life Experience - I just hope others show some big hearts like we do most often

 

[street cricketer]

The difficult part is the last 100 runs..

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

He can be dangerous when he gets it right. Got a five-for against Pakistan recently.

5/227 1st Innings 0/163 , 4.79 (E. RATE) Second Innings was a fluke

Thank You, Come Again

 

[-=Umair=-]

Chota Bheem is Key Here

 

[street cricketer]

How good are the last 3 with the bat?

 

[Bilal7]

5/227 1st Innings 0/163 , 4.79 (E. RATE) Second Innings was a fluke

Thank You, Come Again

This is why you actually watch the match and not just go by the scorecard.

 

[MMHS]

How good are the last 3 with the bat?

Miraz is very good, got out to a reversing ball, but he is a genuine no. 5/6 in FC/Club teams

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

This is why you actually watch the match and not just go by the scorecard.

I have a life. I am sorry, I am a working man.

 

[MMHS]

Mentally toughest period - Poms are trying to make every run hard to come. Must not lose focus now.

 

[street cricketer]

Wait, Shafiul is not playing?

 

[street cricketer]

I'm not getting a telecast of the match in my tv, would love to watch it.

Having to watch the boring jamodi match at Mohali..

 

[street cricketer]

This is where experience counts the most and inexperienced teams falter.

 

[Bilal7]

I have a life. I am sorry, I am a working man.

All of us do. Best you don't provide analysis about matches that you haven't seen.

 

[HateKiller]

excellent game of cricket going on.
I am with Bangladesh in this one. Sorry English fans.
Go Bangla go.

 

[hamzie]

just 1 wicket yaar and theyll collapse

 

[street cricketer]

I have a life. I am sorry, I am a working man.

Shafiul is hospitalised?

 

[Mainul]

Golden chance for Bangladesh. And this is just day 4 they have got plenty of time and overs left. How many points will england lose if bangladesh wins this?

Delhi abhi bohut dur hai.

Bangladesh has the habit to choke under pressure once they lose a wicket.There is only one way to reach the target-if these two can carry on till last winning run.I don't want to see the ghost of first ODI again.

Win or lose one thing i am very much impressed with-Bangladesh is still fighting and has kept this chase alive on a difficult wicket on 4th day after 14 months of exile of test cricket. Well done boys.

 

[Mainul]

How good are the last 3 with the bat?

Worse than the granny of Boycott.

 

[street cricketer]

This is the key partnership for England. One wicket and they will open the floodgates.

Bangladesh should be very wary. Probably the most important session in their test history.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Bdesh tail is woeful. Can't rely on them to score even 40 runs

 

[street cricketer]

Worse than the granny of Boycott.

Will Shafiul bat or not?

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

They were 270/4 in first odi and couldn't cross 310. This test match tail of Bdesh looks even worse there is no Mortaza too to slog. Current 2 shouldn't let the finishing part to anyone.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Shafiul is hospitalised?

Yes bro, Kal Ho na Ho style.

 

[shah_1]

Want Bangladesh to win

 

[street cricketer]

Yes bro, Kal Ho na Ho style.

So effectively Bangladesh has just 4 wickets?

 

[Bilal7]

This is England's game to lose even if Bangladesh take another 20 runs off with this partnership.

 

[MMHS]

Total shut down of scoring by Poms.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

They were 270/4 in first odi and couldn't cross 310. This test match tail of Bdesh looks even worse there is no Mortaza too to slog. Current 2 shouldn't let the finishing part to anyone.

Yes we need Abul and Gazi back

 

[MMHS]

So effectively Bangladesh has just 4 wickets?

He can bat tomorrow, if one set batsman is there

 

[Nikhil_cric]

He still has the drift and he gets good amounts of spin - most revs out of any non-subcon spinner, IIRC- but can't utilize that to full effect because of poor accuracy/consistency in L&L.

Lyon puts a lot of revs on the ball actually. Much more than moeen.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Congratulations Bang Bros on your first meaningful victory in Test Cricket. Long may it continue !!

Just make sure you don't disturb the averages

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Rashid is so dangerous, I am so scared. Probably the best leg spinner in the world

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Joy bangla . Give them a taste of what's gonna happen in India.

 

[hamzie]

Congratulations Bang Bros on your first meaningful victory in Test Cricket. Long may it continue !!

Just make sure you don't disturb the averages

Congrats BD

Well deserved victory. Game over for england no chance now. BD too good. GG 2ez

 

[street cricketer]

Rashid bowling like a spray gun..

 

[Bilal7]

Lyon puts a lot of revs on the ball actually. Much more than moeen.

Lyon barely spins it, dude.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Congratulations Bang Bros on your first meaningful victory in Test Cricket. Long may it continue !!

Just make sure you don't disturb the averages

Don't worry. Moeen bhai's averaging 42 before this match. Can't get worse than that

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Congrats BD

Well deserved victory. Game over for england no chance now. BD too good. GG 2ez

Are you by any chance a Dota 2 Player ??

 

[street cricketer]

Congratulations Bang Bros on your first meaningful victory in Test Cricket. Long may it continue !!

Just make sure you don't disturb the averages

Congrats BD

Well deserved victory. Game over for england no chance now. BD too good. GG 2ez

Full jinxing mode eh?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Lyon barely spins it, dude.

[Bilal7]

Keep the "bhai" rubbish out of it, guys.

 

[Yatoo]

Should be easy from here on. Mushy and Shabbir playing well

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Omg what did I just read

Mehedi Hasan's favorite batsman : Liton Das Favorite bowler: Ramesh Powar

[street cricketer]

What were you saying about Sabbir Rahman mate [MENTION=130260]Executioner[/MENTION]

 

[anindo]

This match reminds me of the famous India-Pak test match at Chennai in 1999 where Tendulkar got that 136 but agonizingly short. I hope the outcome is different for the chasing side this time. Took me a week to recover from that loss.

[Shafi]

Is Kamran is the idol of Bairstaw???

 

[hamzie]

dropped! nooooooooooooo

 

[Dios]

Pitch turning like crazy.

 

[Bilal7]

Good stuff from Adil Rashid. Cook's captaincy is pretty poor.

 

[Executioner]

What were you saying about Sabbir Rahman mate [MENTION=130260]Executioner[/MENTION]

If Ashwin can score runs in tests so can Sabbir when the bowlers are tired and ball is old

 

[street cricketer]

Things are starting to happen now..

 

[James]

Bangladesh starting to look like favourites now. They have batted well here.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

New ball in 1 hour.

Bangladesh have to get a move on.

14 overs at 3 rpo would take them to 42 runs.

38 more runs with the new ball.

14 overs at 4 rpo would be dream stuff (56 runs) but that's dreamland stuff.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

New ball will aid spinners more on turners.

 

[ethan hunt]

Adil rashid is a bit of a tailender specialist so he might still win the game for England but despite getting spin he lacks the bite and control of a genuine test class spinner.

 

[Shafi]

England really needed 2 good spinners in order to win in a subcontinent pitch. Plus need to get rid of over rated players like Broad and Root
