What's new

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

I hope BD produces similar pitches in future.

They've in the past played for "respectable draws" on phattas - but if they want to progress up the Test rankings they need to learn how to win in pressure situations like this in tough conditions.

Feel for BD fans, a defeat here is gonna be very hard to take.

Sabbir isn't getting any support from these tailenders.
 
Went with 9 players - don't know what was the purpose of those 2 pacers on this track?
 
WHAT ARE YOU DOING SABBIR?!?!

Taking a single off the first ball is nuts.
 
i do feel a bit sorry for Bangladesh though. They battled so well on this track.
 
This is like a 1920s tail end. Bangladeshi bowlers needed to do more batting practice for situations like this. As far as I know the first time that last guy got a bat on ball in the whole match was just then when he got out bat-pad.
 
Did I hear a rumour that Bangladesh won't be sending out an eleventh batsman?
 
He's done it again!

I highly doubt that even if it were true, if BD have a sniff they'd send him out there with a broken arm and leg
 
Please note that Sabbir's given title of "sher" is stripped away due to some un-sherlike behavior.
 
That can be done with 10-20 left not 50. I watched Adams, Inzi & Wasim chasing with tail - the gave strike to partners initially.

I can understand if the partner is able. But these tailenders look like Chris Martin's students.
 
Meanwhile in other news....Azhar and Sami taking a leaf out of Late Hanif Muhammad's batting tactics. Going at 1 RPO :facepalm:
 
the power of the Raj is too strong for the weakest of all the races of India.
 
I have a feeling those helmet 5 runs are the ones which are gonna cost us the match, plus Shakib being an idiot in the 1st innings.
 
12 runs better with a bit of confidence for both - it never works like bang, bang. Taijul has to stay & he has a bat at hand.

Better than Walshi who has seen through 2 better attacks to win a Test by 1 wicket. Sabbir can't afford to be targeted 5 balls every over.
