Congratulations to Bangladesh for their first-ever Test series win against Pakistan

SL was the superior team to India on slow pitches. The 7-2 bilateral record was built mainly on true Indian wkts which suited the style of Dravid and Chappell's team

India between 2005-2007 had a bowling lineup also built around pace. Harbhajan was the lone spinner and had become a darter averaging around 39-40. Kumble barely played any matches.

On that Port of Spain surface, Murali and Jayasuriya broke the back of India's middle order (Sehwag, Dravid and Dhoni) between ovs 15-35 while Harbhajan went wicketless to allow SL to rebuild and launch in last 10.

I think it was mostly due to the super sub rule during their era that we did great in ODI. I remember we won 14 or some matches at a stretch during that super sub rule.

Our main weakness was not having a great all rounder and super sub rule removed that weakness.

Losing to India is annoying even tho they are a better team in history but Bangladesh having less history of winning is nice to see .

Indian fans I’m sure felt the same admiration when Bangladesh knocked them out of 2007 World Cup

Was a time when they got beaten by BD, you'd get threads like "Bangladesh are still minnows" .

PCT have been beaten so much by everyone and everywhere that they have to take solace in the wins of their "brothers" even if against their own team :amla

It's hard to find admiration you know. Everyone play to win and I also hate losing against sides I feel my team should win. Like I fail to find any admiration towards Afghanistan when we lose. But after sometimes when things settle down and I feel cooler I find what a great team Afghanistan has become despite their struggles

That’s how I feel about Kiwis and Aus beating us in WTC not with BD because I still believe India was a better team overall than BD in 2007 and 2015.. irrespective the 2007 loss resulted in seniors resting themselves and us winning the 2007 T20 , so yeah that loss was a “blessing in disguise” but yet hurt back then.

Only when the other team is equal or better do we feel they played well as an afterthought, atleast for me.
 
Greatest victory ever for Bangladesh.

Whitewashing a team in their own backyard is a kind of stuff minnows don't do. That's Bangladesh putting one step above in defining a cricketing legacy for themselves.
 
Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto believed his team’s first test cricket series win over Pakistan will give his compatriots reason to smile amid ongoing difficulties

The recent civil unrest that toppled Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina caused Bangladesh to be stripped of the Women’s Twenty20 World Cup, and in the past week the country has been hit by deadly flash floods that have affected millions of people.

“For the last 1 1/2 months, everyone (in Bangladesh) has struggled a lot,” Shanto said after Bangladesh beat Pakistan by six wickets in the second test on the last day Tuesday.

“We all know cricket is a very emotional thing in our country, so I hope they will get some smiles because we’ve won the series.”

Bangladesh followed an epic 10-wicket victory in the first test at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium with a comeback win in the second test on the same ground.

Bangladesh was 26-6 in its first innings but Litton Das and Mehidy Hasan Miraz batted them to just a 12-run deficit. Then the fast bowlers dismissed Pakistan for 172 and Bangladesh reached the winning target of 185 in 56 overs.

2-0 home series loss to BD puts in to perspective where hosts are in the best form o cricket - in dumps ! What is sad & pathetic is apart from horrid dead pitches in last few years is the fact that PAK struggles to put up a decent bowling unit even in comparison to BD or SRL !
 
One of the most poetic thing about the match was two of Bangladesh's oldest guards at the crease when they achieved this remarkable feat.
 
There aren't many Bangladeshis in my area but there is one Bangladeshi restaurant so I called them up to congratulate them. They were a little bit annoyed I didn't offer food but accepted the congratulations happily in the end.

Indiana have any sense of brotherhood so understand these emotions.

They are hated by the whole of SC and even their own minorities don't support them.
 
absolutely fantastic win and congratulations to BD. This is the kind of turn around you want them to have. They are also fairly young team and seem to have less age frauds among them. So we may actually be able to see improvements in their players unlike some youngsta beauties in Pak team. congratulation to BD posters like @MMHS, @BDfanforever , @sweep_shot etc. I may not see eye to eye with them, but this is their biggest credible achievement and a milestone in their cricketing history. I wish them best and hope this is not a false dawn.

on a separate note, India needs to be careful and prepare seriously for BD. Otherwise they might be in with a surprise. BD might go away with a win before SL can manage to win a test in India. BD has nothing to lose and even a draw is a loss for India considering tough Aus tour and SA breathing down their neck. Good days ahead for test fans

Bangladesh team returns home after historic Test series win against Pakistan

After making history by securing their first-ever Test series win against Pakistan, the Bangladesh cricket team arrived at Karachi Airport to head back home. Following their victory in the second Test in Rawalpindi, where they defeated Pakistan by six wickets, the team spent a night at a hotel in Karachi before departing.

In their final match, Bangladesh chased down 185 runs in 56 overs, with key contributions from Shakib Al Hasan, who scored 21, and Mushfiqur Rahim, who added 22, sealing the win and the series.

As the team prepared to leave Karachi, they were escorted to the airport under tight security. The players and officials were divided into two separate airplanes, with Najmul Hossain Shanto’s team set to return home after stopovers in Dubai and Doha.

The Chief Adviser of Bangladesh’s interim government personally congratulated Shanto on the team's historic achievement, expressing the nation's pride.

"Heartiest congratulations on behalf of the government and myself. The whole nation is proud of you," the Chief Adviser said.

Meanwhile, Pakistan, reeling from five consecutive Test losses—three against Australia and two against Bangladesh—will look to regroup as they prepare for a busy cricketing schedule. Their upcoming assignments include a three-Test series against England in October, followed by a series of ODIs and T20Is against Australia, Zimbabwe, South Africa, and the West Indies. The schedule also features an ODI tri-series involving New Zealand and South Africa, culminating in the ICC Champions Trophy in February and March.

EXPRESS TRIBUNE
 
Ramiz Raja while speaking on his You tube channel:

“Lots of fans are disheartened. Why do someone watch Pakistan’s test cricket, because when you surf television channels and watch quality and classy cricket elsewhere, why should someone stop and watch how low can they (Pakistan cricketers) go.”

“Only (Mohammad) Rizwan fights. The overall (cricket) structure is shaken and when the foundation is shaken, sponsors are shaken, fans are shaken and expectations are dead.”

“They (players) have to take onus. This is the season to make a name. You have to get yourself up mentally and there are no excuses. … When there’s no blame game, only then you can go upward.”

He is not an Idiot, his field settings were incredible, he is the most attacking captain in Bangladesh after Mashrafee. Let him enjoy, it's a harmless picture. Shanto will oneday win the world cup, his contribution with the bat may remain 0 but then again Dhoni hardly did anything for CSK in the last 4-5 years.

Agree. He has been a great captain. Best since Mashrafe.

Under his leadership, BD drew series against NZ, whitewashed Pakistan, and also reached Super 8 of World T20. These are all facts.
 
Former cricketer and current Bangladesh spin-bowling consultant, Mushtaq Ahmed in a recent interview praised Bangladesh’s effort in the series:

"Before saying what went wrong with the Pakistan team, I must say that Bangladesh, our team, played good cricket. Lots of people think that they didn't play good cricket. Whenever we needed a partnership, Liton [Das] and Miraz stood up. That was a great partnership. When you needed somebody to bowl a very good spell, [Nahid] Rana got three to four quick wickets. So, those are the vital moments in which we played better than them."

"All I can say is that Pakistan perhaps lacked confidence. They weren't sure of what they were doing. Planning wise, I could see they were playing aggressive cricket without understanding the condition and situation unlike our guys. Overall, it was about Bangladesh players who played better than Pakistan cricketers."

"The credit goes to the whole team. [Najmul Hossain] Shanto has been very good as captain. I think it was a mixture of everything. It was a great achievement. They were very dedicated, worked really hard, and were together. I believe they had no doubt amongst themselves. If you don't have the belief, you can't challenge any team. Skill comes last. Belief comes first."

"It was outstanding. [Mehedi Hasan] Miraz was really good. The reason for that is he worked really hard, and Shakib [Al Hasan] got vital wickets in the first Test, especially in the second innings. One thing you should always remember is that if players put themselves under pressure in practice, Allah always gives them results. We also talked about angles, field positions, overspin, reading the pitch, and which area you need to bowl on; we communicated a lot during those Tests and even in training. The guys played with full passion and heart and the result speaks for itself."

"I am very hopeful. My manager and agent are talking to the cricket board. Hopefully, if things become better, it will be a great honour for me to be part of this team because this team can do wonders."

"As things stand, I won't be there for the India series [later this month]. I have a few commitments in the next three-four months. There are a few family commitments as well. Maybe after December or January, I will try my best to serve Bangladesh cricket."

i feel he is highly under rated. Like his name he has that aura of calm around him. I liked the way he guided the two young pacemen especially in the first test innings when the going was hard. Spot on about field placeings. He just loooks the part currently. Maybe he is Bangladesh ka Mike Brearley :)

Well it's depends on which Indian team shows .
If It's with Bumrah and shami or even with one of them then it will probably end up with innings or big margin of victory for India . If both rested than BD will still lose but margin of victory will be less.
This is not Pakistan team , this indian team bats deep and their Spinners are far more lethal than BD and so is Batsman. England lost bcz of Indian fast bowlers are far more superior compared to England.
 
I know people do make fun of him celebrating this a bilateral series win. Trust me. It is a big thing when it is a landmark achievment, historic achievement. India's win in England in the 70s is still celebrated precisely for this reason. India for the first time won a Test series in England. Winning cup is important. There are certain things that are way more difficult to achieve in Tests. Ask Srilanka about beating India in India atleast in a single Test. They have beaten India in a world cup semi final, world T20 final, Asia cup final. But they have not won a single Test in India.

How many such "regular Test series" has Bangladesh won away from home to not celebrate this win? This is literally the first time you guys have won a proper tough away series (that too a clean sweep). They can celebrate all they want.

This "only ICC tournaments matter" nonsense is just cringeworthy. Winning Test series in foreign conditions is a different kind of joy altogether.

Yea.. as if they have multiple Asia cups and only thing that is left is world cup :) Also these test wins are not fluke Test wins. THey worked hard for 8 or 9 days to achieve it not having good one hour in a final. So they deserve self patting.

If we are talking about history then support of Pakistan is divided among citizens, some didn't want Bangladesh to have their independence from Pakistan in 1971 while some wanted an Independent Bangladesh. Under Awami League's regime there were more Indian fans but right now it seems very much like Jamaat will come to power and they are pro Pakistan. There are talks about changing national anthem as it was written by Ravi Shastri.

BD national anthem was written by Rabindra Nath Tagore (an Indian Bengali).

I think they should change it and use one written by a Bangladeshi. I would support that. Only downside is we have to memorize it again. LOL.

Why should we have an anthem written by an Indian? It should've been replaced a long time ago.

National anthem is a non issue, before 1971 our we used to sing 'Pak Sar Zameen' which is still a preference among my parents over ' Amar Shonar Bangla' which I had to sing during school assembly. We should be thinking about improving our economy and creating jobs instead of non issues like changing national anthem, removing bongo bondho's picture from taka, taking down bongo bondho's statues, or turning gono bhaban into a museum - land is expensive in Bangladesh and we should of better use instead of a museum. I am not satisfied with what's going on under interim government.

Interim government is not perfect but far better than Awami League hyenas. Things cannot be changed overnight. They need time. Damage from Awami League is simply too much.

I think that Gono Bhobon should be destroyed and make apartment buildings there. Museum is a waste.

I see nothing wrong with removing Bongobondhu's pictures. I am sick and tired of seeing that man's picture everywhere. Hasina shoved it down everyone's throat. Better to replace his images with Bangladeshi architectures or something.

He fought for our language, he is our father of the nation. What Hasina did is unjustifiable but if it wasn't for Bongo Bondho we wouldn't have got our Independence, him with his 'bakshal' move is entirely another different topic.
 
Former Bangladeshi cricketer and current commentator Athar Ali Khan Khan said his team’s victory had opened a “glorious chapter” in Bangladeshi cricket history

“It was the finest moment of Test cricket for Bangladesh,” he said. “In my opinion, it’s a Banglawash. It’s a word that I phrased a long time back when we went and won all the matches.”

Asked if Bangladesh’s historic victory was a result of Pakistan’s poor performance, which many attributed to lack of unity and poor selection, he said credit must be given to his national team.

“They played better cricket and were a better side,” he replied, adding that Pakistan had not expected Bangladesh to play such good cricket.

“Pakistan did not do what they should have done, but they scored 448 in the first innings of the first Test match,” Khan pointed out. “They had Bangladesh 26 for 6 in the second Test match. They should have gone and won the match but then there was resistance, there was recovery. So, you have got to give more praise to Bangladesh, saying that you are a better team. You have got to accept the fact.”

The Bangladeshi cricketer-turned-commentator also questioned Pakistan’s decision to omit Mir Hamza from the first Test, despite his impressive record in first-class cricket.

“The surprising part for me to note was when Mir Hamza was picked in the second Test match, how come he was not picked up in the first and because he has 451 wickets in first-class cricket,” he said.

Bangladesh are now set to face a tough challenge as they are scheduled to tour India in September and October for two Test and three Twenty20 International matches.

“I think they [Bangladesh] are looking good, and they are looking threatening, and India will take note,” Khan said.

Acknowledging India to be among the finest sides in the cricketing world, he said Bangladesh’s opening batters should strive for better performance.

“I think one thing I would like to see from Bangladesh when they go to India is the top order because the top order has not really fired up for Bangladesh,” he said, adding that his team’s current advantage was the seam bowling attack.

“For the very first time, Bangladesh bowlers have taken all 10 wickets in a Test inning.” Khan said, “and also Hassan Mahmud picked up five for the very first time in Test cricket against Pakistan.”

Are you sure? The anthem was written in sometimes around 1900 when British decided to break Bengal presidency (by far largest in population) in to two parts with Dacca being Capital and present day Assam, Tripura, Maghalaya part of it; so that the underdeveloped eastern side can have fair share of the progression. That rang an alarm bell among Hindu Jaminders who had their Jsmidari in east Bengal, but lived luxurious life in Calcutta - for a note, Tagore’s own estate was Shagordari (Present day Kushtia), he was born in Calcutta (Jora Shako Thakur Bari) and his only association with Shagordari was annual revenue collection.

As a next step East Bengal Muslims decided to establish an university at Dacca, which again was protested at Calcutta - sometimes in 1912/13 there was a procession and Tagore himself was in leading role of the idea. Eventually Sir Salimullah donated land and Lord Curzon facilitated establishment of DU in 1921.

Anyway, changing national anthem is not new and it has happened before - O Canada was adopted in 1980, The Star-Spangled Banner in 1931. There will be a public referendum this time it will not be Hasina style voting - if majority of Bangladeshis agree for a change; it will be CHANGED. You’ll get your chance to cast your vote also in a free & fair referendum (if you are below 35, I’m sure this will be a new experience for you in Bangladesh - you know why)… try to stop it democratically.

Start to memorise (if still not done) -

Or,

It is coming - what few Chetonadharis in social media barks around doesn’t give the true reflection of the people and this time pet media won’t come handy.

Prothom Bangladesh, aamar sesh Bangladesh….
Or,
Ekti Bangladesh, tumi jagrto janotar ….

It is coming - what few Chetonadharis in social media barks around doesn’t give the true reflection of the people and this time pet media won’t come handy.

Thanks bro - nothing personal here. But, for last 15 years every effort was made to divide the country; every possible way country was defamed as a fundamentalist state - redemption starts from correcting the identity crisis, which we are trying.

You probably are new in PP - that’s why you hardly see me posting these days. Because last few years I have dedicated my time to create the nationalist identity among younger generations who had been brainwashed over last decade. And, I must say - we were successful to oust a tyrant mafia ….. and inshallah we’ll establish a Bangladeshi nationalist identity based on patriotism, unity, religious tolerance and freedom of speech & thoughts.

You’ll never see another country where two girls one in burkha & another one in sleeveless kurta are protesting against assault rifle and sniper bullets hands tied together.
 
Upcoming events will tell us whether BD has made significant strides in the classic format pr it was a case of Pakistan's regression.
 
The BDs have real talent and their bowling was excellent and has real room for further development. Rana made our batsman hop around with real pace and along with Taskin and Mosharaf, have the makings of an excellent attack. The BD batting is solid and with Das offering real stability and consistency, it has the potential to win games.
 
Anyway, most Bangladeshis do not hate Pakistan. Glory of 92 seems to have a misconception. Maybe he met a few bad apples and is just generalizing.

This thread is about Bangladesh and their first-ever win against Pakistan. Not political or regional hate stuff here.

Stay on topic
 
Bangladesh batting coach David Hemp said while talking to a sports media outlet:

"We discussed that we felt we could have been better building on from the last series. So I guess from our point of view, it was important that we wanted it. As an example, we wanted the Pakistani seam Bowlers to come back to bowl spells - three spells, four spells, five spells. So we had that purpose around constructing our innings, being really diligent at the start of our individual innings so that we weren't losing back-to-back wickets."
 
Big prize for a big win

"Bangladesh cricket team has been awarded BDT 3.20 crore for their historic Test series win against Pakistan.

A portion will be donated to help flood victims," the BCB said via their official X account.

Bangladesh cricket team has been awarded BDT 3.20 crore for their historic Test series win against Pakistan. BCB Chairman Faruque Ahmed accepted the bonus from Mahmud Sajeeb Bhuiyan, Advisor for the Ministry of Youth and Sports. A portion will be donated to help flood victims.

Bangladesh scripted history at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium as they beat Pakistan by 6 wickets in the second Test and registered their maiden series win over the Asian rivals on Tuesday, September 3. Pakistan set a target of 185 runs for the visitors to chase down in the fourth innings and the challenge was happily accepted by the resurgent Bangladesh team who were riding high on their maiden win over the Asian rivals in the first Test.

Today, a winning bonus handing-over ceremony was organized for the Bangladesh team in celebration of their first-ever historic Test series win against Pakistan.

Zakir Hasan (40), Najmul Hossain Shanto (38) and Mominul Haque (34) made vital contributions in the chase to help their team taste unprecedented glory on Pakistan soil. As a result, Bangladesh won their first Test series against Pakistan after facing six losses on the trot. Not many expected the match to produce a result, after the first day was completely washed out due to rain. However, Test cricket once again proved its worth by enthralling with riveting action over the course of the next four days.
