knowing that both teams have history of collapsing in the recent past you never know there might be a result
 
The pitch does not have much for bowlers , these kind of pitches will kill test matches further .

You have to agree that the bowling from both teams have been sub-standard.

Our spinners were bowling well without bite. Imagine Rubel not bowling the no-ball, then NZ would have been allout below 350, and to think about it, they were 250-2 at one stage.

Bangladesh were 6-2 as well, and 180-4. Both teams failed to capitalize on the new batsman. At this point of time, Bangladesh definitely have the upper hand

To have a good Test you need to have something for bowlers. This pitch can produce results only if batsmen make mistake. This should not be the case. Pitch should have something for the bowlers that they can get wickets even when batsmen is batting well.
High scoring draws no one likes.

This is a relatively new wicket hands flat. I hope that the pitch in Dhaka will be spiin friendly which means Bangladesh will be favourites.

At the beginning of this match I felt that Bangladesh should be able to win against vettori less NZ side at home atleast. I less flatter track and you never know we could have won this test match. Then again, thats what I feel. You cant always gurantee that BD will win because there has been atleast 15 test matches we could have easily won yet you panicked at the last moment, or someone played an innings of a lifetime after being dropped
 
Both NZ and BD dont play enough test cricket against top sides so makes no sense why there are only 2 test matches in this tour. Even the last time NZ toured us, the Tests were scrapped, 2 test matches were replaced by 2 ODIs :facepalm:
 
mominul gone.

really, that was probably one of the best innings you can see from a 22 year old for some time.
 
Major reason cricket in Asia is such a bore. Seriously why do they make such rubbish pitches?
Nowonder they become lambs outside asia.
 
I think the match might be wide open :13:

If we can bat for 1 session then we can reach NZ's score
 
I think if we get 2 full days play from here ,we might still get a result.
 
^Perhaps, but quite unlikely given that the pitch has not detoriated much
 
nz will post something pathetic in their second innings like always and i had bang down as favourites before the series started. i think bang win is a likely result.

And we should have scored 550+, we were 244/2...

Nevermind that we actually DID get NZ out for about 360 except for the small detail that the umpire didn't think plumb would actually hit the stumps. Even if you did score 550, would you win this match just batting once like you predicted? I told you you will need a first innings total of at least 700 to ensure an innings win. And even 700 is unlikely cuz Tamim and Shakib are unlikely to score ducks twice in a row.

What if I told you Bangladesh is worse than Pakistan when it comes to chasing a target IN TESTS

For us to win, we need to score very quickly and its hard for us now since all our specialists are in the hut. If Nasir and one of the little ones (mushy and mominul) were still batting I would back Bangladesh to win. At 300-4, we were looking good to score 500+. Credit to NZ to bowl well
 
Can't even get Bangla boys out now :facepalm:. To be fair, Mominul looks like a real prospect. Mominul, Nasir, Tamim, Shakib. Bangladesh are producing some good batsmen. They just need some pacers. Robiul is decent. But others are hopeless. Worthless bowlers like Rubel, Shafiul and Shahadat should be taken to the Sahara desert and left there. Even spin looks good with Razzak, Shakib, Gazi, etc. producing the goods.

aah look who is back :akhtar

I dont think it was easy for NZ at any point of time. NZ team management knew that they would have to sweat to beat Bangladesh in Bangladesh. While you guys have been improving in the recent past, we have been improving as well especially at home conditions. I really didnt see ourselves play horrible cricket in the past 2 years, barring the 1st test against Zimbabwe.

You missed Mushfiqur who has been Bangladesh's best bat in the last few years.

Bangladesh will have a very solid batting line-up in a few years time. Possibly one of the best in the world. Mushfiqur, Tamim and Shakib are all still only 24 - 26 years old. The best is yet to come from them. Then you have Nasir, Mominul and Anamul who all have huge potential and are very young. And then you have guys like Mahmudullah and Naeem Islam on the bench, who, on their day, can cause a lot of damage. Mossaddek Hossain, the 17 year-old playing for BD U19s, is also one to watch out for.

Fantastic knock by Mominul Haque. He has good technique, excellent wrists/handspeed and some decent footwork. I still think Anamul Haque can potentially be much better than both Mominul and Nasir but his minimal footwork lets him down big time.

Tamim and Shakib have been a joke. Lazy and don't seem committed and rather play in franchises and clubs and make as much money as possible. And be with their wives.

maybe you are a bit too harsh on Shakib.

Shakib has not played much cricket at all this year apart from some T20 matches in BPL and CPL. Now, you cant really blame him for that because BCB failed to arrange a FC tournament or international cricket series during the large breaks. And unlucky for him to get injured during the end of CPL. Its not easy for any cricketer, to get into grove after an injury considering you played very little competitive cricket. Shakib has determination, tamim doesnt. Tamim is happy as long as he is getting money and being praised for that one match winning performance he has scored when I was in diapers. Shakib delivers under pressure, and always look to improve himself.
 
There are some cracks on the pitch , BD need to make sure they get as close as possible to NZ here
 
Gazi is capable with the bat, Pakistan need bowlers like him, who can contribute with the bat
 
robiul has scored more runs than anamul in tests who is turning out to be a test hack like hafeez
 
gazi is better than boult and bracewell so should be able to score a hundred
 
Lol! Are the batsman that good or are the bowlers that bad?
 
How embarrassing :facepalm:

We'll win the second for sure though, we should bring in another pacer (if theres one in the squad..)

a bit of both really. the bowl is turning quite a bit but their spinners have not bowled well. the Fielding had not been up to the mark and its hard to believe that Kiwis are.fielding

Well we are playing without Southee.

Our spinners aren't great and Sodhi is playing his first game, we'll win the second.

I'd love to see the same batsmen in NZ against Boult ,Southee and Wagner.

Bangladesh usually performs the best in Mirpur. Its where New Zealand got whitewashed but then again, New Zealand did beat South Africa in the world cup 1/8.

Doesn't matter.

The boys will have a point to prove.
 
I think the A tour to England helped the likes of Mominul, Gazi and even Robiul. Wickets are different and they know what they need to work on and that Cricket is a massive challenge. Clearly gave them so much confidence.

Depends! there are rumours that the second test will be a rank turner from Day 1. I remember NZ toured India last year and played on rank turner and got thrashed by Ashwin and Praveen spin.

I don't really rate your spinners, they're probably worse than ours.
