[Devadwal]

So india dropped jurel and sarfaraz - the hero of last 2 test match for india .

 

[Champ_Pal]

Axar should have played in place of Siraj.

Otherwise it’s a good team.

Indian batting looks a bit thin. Ash and Jaddu are very old and I am not sure of their batting contributions at their age. This means India effectively has only 5 batsmen. Axar is a top class batsman now that could’ve been great change up for Ash and Jaddu. On Indian pitches 3 pacers is over doing it.

 

[Champ_Pal]

So india dropped jurel and sarfaraz - the hero of last 2 test match for india .

Jurel was always going to be dropped with Pant’s return.

Sarfaraz is on KL crybaby’s heels. A little slip up in this Test and Sarfu will take his place

 

[Devadwal]

1st session is going to very challenging for batters.
Fresh session so pitch will assist Pacers definitely

 

[AMSS]

Pant looks a LOT slimmer and fitter.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Taskin bowling with good pace and rhythm.

 

[Devadwal]

Taskin bowling with good pace and rhythm.

Yes but length is little bit short need to Bowl more fuller

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Bangladesh won the toss?

 

[Champ_Pal]

This other bowler Hasan is trundling at 130k in his first over. Absolutely no pressure on batsmen.

 

[Devadwal]

Absolute jaffa

 

[Champ_Pal]

Taskin ভাই troubling Jaiswal.

 

[Devadwal]

Pace, bounce, swing .
Good conditions for fast bowling.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Only height can save lazy Rohit there. Too causal.

 

[Devadwal]

Umpire call save Rohit .

 

[MANU ROY]

Rohit save by umpire call

 

[Champ_Pal]

As expected height saves Rohit. His lazy style will not work when the ball is doing things.

 

[Devadwal]

Hasan length is perfect

 

[Devadwal]

Good bowling by both of Pacer .

 

[BouncerGuy]

@Devadwal Rohit survived DRS...

 

[jnaveen1980]

Plenty of seam movement. I remember both Anderson and Joffra Archer were a handful in one of the spell at chennai.

 

[Dios]

Plumb LBW not given. BCCI did their preparation.

 

[Devadwal]

@Devadwal Rohit survived DRS...

He was very lucky . I thought he was gone .

 

[jnaveen1980]

Taskin is generating a lot of bounce. At the other end the other bowler gets plenty of seam movement. IT is even tougher for guys like Rohit who is playing a Test after 6 months.

 

[Champ_Pal]

If BD bowlers can keep this up for 3 or 4 more overs, they will get a wicket. Plenty of assistance for pacers.

 

[Dios]

Need to get Nahid on sooner rather than later.

 

[BouncerGuy]

He was very lucky . I thought he was gone .

Yeah, it looked out naked eye.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Plumb LBW not given. BCCI did their preparation.

Plumb lbw = 3 reds

 

[Champ_Pal]

Plumb LBW not given. BCCI did their preparation.

DRS brosky. It could go either way.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rohit is very scratchy. He is clearly short of red ball practice. Atleast Jaiswal played one DUleep Trophy match.

 

[jnaveen1980]

They better take wickets early as the conditions are overly helpful for seamers. Seam movement, bounce. bit of swing, pace as well.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Rohit is very scratchy. He is clearly short of red ball practice. Atleast Jaiswal played one DUleep Trophy match.

Rohit is too lazy to play domestics.

 

[MP2011]

Good to see Bumrah is playing this test. If your premier players don't play premier form of the game there is no point of saving them for future tours.

I remember some here saying a while back that he'll be saved for Australia tour.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Another thing. Chennai heat will be extremely sapping. Fast bowlers cannot sustain their pace for long. I was surprised India went with 3 seamers here.

 

[MP2011]

Rohit is very scratchy. He is clearly short of red ball practice. Atleast Jaiswal played one DUleep Trophy match.

Poor of Rohit (And Kohli) not to play any domestic game. Its beneath them to play domestic cricket.

 

[MANU ROY]

Plumb LBW not given. BCCI did their preparation.

Of course brother

 

[Devadwal]

Rohit Gone

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rohit looked like getting out any time soon. Looked very scratchy.

 

[MP2011]

Another thing. Chennai heat will be extremely sapping. Fast bowlers cannot sustain their pace for long. I was surprised India went with 3 seamers here.

Idiotic not to play Kuldeep. Yet again, axe fell on him.

 

[MANU ROY]

Lazy rohit gone

 

[Champ_Pal]

Rohit’s luck runs out. Did not look comfortable at all.

 

[Vikram1989]

Rohit is looking completely washed up.He can't survive on pp bullying in test matches. If he continues like this in aus,it very difficult

 

[MP2011]

Rohit is looking completely washed up.He can't survive on pp bullying in test matches. If he continues like this in aus,it very difficult

And that too when these guys think its alright to just turn up in their whites and play test cricket. Tests are not an easy format to play.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Rohit is looking completely washed up.He can't survive on pp bullying in test matches. If he continues like this in aus,it very difficult

He is suited for LOI matches. Tests need practice which he does not do.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rohit is looking completely washed up.He can't survive on pp bullying in test matches. If he continues like this in aus,it very difficult

Rohit has never done well in Australia in Tests. Even Agarwal got a couple of 50s.

 

[MP2011]

Gill is already skating on thin ice.

 

[Dios]

Good start from the Bangladeshi pacers but need more wickets.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

GReat bowling by Hasan Mahmud. I'm already fan of him. Simple action, great release ,good balance. Great asset to have in bowling friendly conditions just like Bhuvi Kumar.

 

[jnaveen1980]

And that too when these guys think its alright to just turn up in their whites and play test cricket. Tests are not an easy format to play.

To be fair he has been doing well on Indian pitches in Tests. This one is due to scratchiness with a long break.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Let’s see the future captain Gill tackle the conditions.

 

[MP2011]

Don't tell me that good for nothing Rahul again got a place in our test XI. He is worst ever Indian test batter to play 50 tests and his stats confirm that.

 

[jnaveen1980]

GReat bowling by Hasan Mahmud. I'm already fan of him. Simple action, great release ,good balance. Great asset to have in bowling friendly conditions just like Bhuvi Kumar.

Yea. He reminds me a lot of Bhuavneswar kumar. pitching on a length moving in and out consistently.

 

[MP2011]

To be fair he has been doing well on Indian pitches in Tests. This one is due to scratchiness with a long break.

Which makes all the more imperative for him to play domestic games.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Taskin is drenching in sweat already. You will see people cramping up if batsmen survive for long.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Don't tell me that good for nothing Rahul again got a place in our test XI. He is worst ever Indian test batter to play 50 tests and his stats confirm that.

He got into the team on basis of seniority.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I suppose Bangladesh has a part time spinner to cover for pacers. India has none. Probably Jaiswal will bowl.

 

[Devadwal]

What is good first inning score on this pitch?

For me 350 is good score

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Don't tell me that good for nothing Rahul again got a place in our test XI. He is worst ever Indian test batter to play 50 tests and his stats confirm that.

He is brilliant sometimes but consistency is missing. It was harsh to drop someone like Sarafaraz who is great player of spin.

 

[MP2011]

He got into the team on basis of seniority.

lol seniority. That seniority has already cost a ODI WC title (almost singlehandedly) and quite a few overseas tests.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Jaiswal in positive mood. He always makes his presence at the crease count quickly.

 

[Vikram1989]

Rohit has never done well in Australia in Tests. Even Agarwal got a couple of 50s.

His test batting especially overseas is all about eng 21.In aus, his highest score is 63 not out I believe

 

[MP2011]

Well done Jaiswal. Playing some shots.

 

[Champ_Pal]

lol seniority. That seniority has already cost a ODI WC title (almost singlehandedly) and quite a few overseas tests.

He is a serious talent with the toughness of a chicken. Hope he mended his ways.

 

[MP2011]

He is brilliant sometimes but consistency is missing. It was harsh to drop someone like Sarafaraz who is great player of spin.

Selectors should have figured out by now that Rahul is not meant for cricket. Had he been any good, he won't have been averaging in mid 30s despite playing 50 tests.

 

[MP2011]

He is a serious talent with the toughness of a chicken. Hope he mended his ways.

For India's sake, I hope (for the umpteenth time) he has.

 

[jnaveen1980]

What a freebie wicket by Gill. What should have been a 4 got him out.

 

[Devadwal]

What a way to get out

 

[Vikram1989]

He is suited for LOI matches. Tests need practice which he does not do.

I mean if there is no foot movement ,Cummins and hazlewood will exploit it for lbws.He used to struggle in his early career due to incoming deliveries. I hope it's practice issue.

 

[Smbhayi]

WTH Gill, getting out on freebie

 

[MANU ROY]

One walking wicket gone two to coming

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

This humid weather is Chennai is not good for pacers to have longer spells.
BCCI should have rest Bumrah for the atleast 1st test.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This has been the case for INdians for the last 5 series or so. Same old story of Ashwin or Jadeja or Axar saving them. Indian batting has been a flop for a long time at home.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Two guys who did not play Duleep Trophy has gone.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Gillu gone.

Could’ve tickled it down leg side for an easy 4.

 

[RashelHassan]

Early 2 wickets. Can we refrain India from posting a big total?

 

[Champ_Pal]

This has been the case for INdians for the last 5 series or so. Same old story of Ashwin or Jadeja or Axar saving them. Indian batting has been a flop for a long time at home.

No Axar to save the hyped up batsmen.

 

[jnaveen1980]

No Axar to save the hyped up batsmen.

Yea. True. What is the point of Siraj at Chepauk. Perplexing.

 

[MANU ROY]

This has been the case for INdians for the last 5 series or so. Same old story of Ashwin or Jadeja or Axar saving them. Indian batting has been a flop for a long time at home.

Last England series was different because of sarfaraz and jurel

 

[Bangladesh_Fan]

India 29/2

Hasan Mahmud 2 wickets
