South Africa tour of Bangladesh (2024)

[RedwoodOriginal]

Jansen injured?

 

[Human786]

274/8 ...

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Verreyne is a good player. I hope he is South Africa's main wicketkeeper going forward.

He has been their main wicketkeeper since QDK retired.

 

[Human786]

9th wicket partnership ... 56 ... lead 177

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

He has been their main wicketkeeper since QDK retired.

I know. I meant in all-formats. They have Ryan Rickleton and Klaasen too in limited-overs.

I think they also dropped him last year for Klaasen but then Klaasen retired from tests.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Bangladesh beat us and decided that was enough for them.

 

[Human786]

2 BD spinners completely ineffective on a turning pitch .... 287/8

 

[BouncerGuy]

Lead crosses 200 and Bangladesh is done and dusted... 90% game is already in hands of SA

 

[Nikhil_cric]

I know. I meant in all-formats. They have Ryan Rickleton and Klaasen too in limited-overs.

I think they also dropped him last year for Klaasen but then Klaasen retired from tests.

I think QDK will be back for white ball. He is barely 32.

There's a home World Cup coming up for SA in 2027 and they will need him.

CT 2025, World T20 2026, CWC 2027 and then maybe retirement.

 

[Devadwal]

heavy rain expected day 3 to 5 .... 260/8

Match will over tomorrow at lunch .

 

[Devadwal]

South Africa is likely to win by an innings.

Just smashed 30-40 runs more and declared .

 

[Human786]

292/8 -hit out or get out

 

[sindhiboy]

High quality hundred on a turning pitch from Verreynne.
Finally paying the faith the selectors had in him, was averaging very low after many tests.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

I think QDK will be back for white ball. He is barely 32.

There's a home World Cup coming up for SA in 2027 and they will need him.

CT 2025, World T20 2026, CWC 2027 and then maybe retirement.

I can see that happening. He had a monster World Cup and still has plenty left in the tank.

 

[Human786]

293/9

 

[Devadwal]

Superlative knock by Verrenynne.

Don't think QDK ever scored This type of knock in away conditions

 

[Human786]

293/9

66 run stand ...

 

[Human786]

66 run stand ...

pitch is certainly less spicy today ...

 

[Mainul]

Why are Bangladesh not playing Nahid Rana? I don't understand.

Nahid should've played instead of Nayeem.

I think so, Rana would have taken a few wickets i reckon.
Anyway,an innings defeat is on the cards for this abysmal batting line up.

 

[Vikram1989]

So bng players advocate for good batting wickets to compete with other best teams and

Superlative knock by Verrenynne.

Don't think QDK ever scored This type of knock in away conditions

He is always a bunny in tough situations. Next level talent of KL but same kind of mental midget.never contributed when required

 

[Human786]

lead 202 - 308/10

 

[Human786]

lead 202 - 308/10

40 overs left today .... EOD BD score ?

 

[sindhiboy]

Outstanding knock

 

[Human786]

4/2

 

[Devadwal]

Two in a over for rabada .

 

[Vikram1989]

Another 2 day drubbing for the tigers at home

 

[Human786]

4/2

how did PAK lose a home series to Bang Boys ... 9/2

 

[Human786]

19/2

 

[BouncerGuy]

This match is gonna finish much earlier than we are expecting.

 

[Buffet]

A very good knock by Kyle here. Hope we can have a full game and rain does not wash out this test.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Stumps Day 2, first Test

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 101/3.

Still trailing by 101 runs.

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Don't think there will be rain tommorow. This test match might end tommorow

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Uphill task for BD. Require another 250, minimum

 

[Buffet]

Don't think there will be rain tommorow. This test match might end tommorow

That's good then. How about on day 4?

 

[Dhakar Pola]

That's good then. How about on day 4?

Cyclone is moving slow, so instead of day 3 it is showing rain on day 4.

 

[Buffet]

Cyclone is moving slow, so instead of day 3 it is showing rain on day 4.

Hope we get a full game.

 

[Ab Fan]

Superlative knock by Verrenynne.

Don't think QDK ever scored This type of knock in away conditions

Qdk in Australia 2016...

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Another day of survival begins. Man I really hoped this series would be different after the Pakistan series

 

[Bilal Ahmad15]

Just how, just how did Pakistan lose a test series to Bangladesh?

 

[BouncerGuy]

And Rabada strikes again. 4 down Bangla.

Still trailing by 96 runs.

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Just how, just how did Pakistan lose a test series to Bangladesh?

Ask yourself this question over and over again

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Lol the floodgates have opened. This test won't last first session

Back to back test loss in 2.3 days. I don't know why I just don't give up on this team and support a new one. I wish one of the asian ones were a little bit nice to us so that I can forget BCT and start following that team

 

[Majestic]

Looks like all set for a proper thrasing

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Looks like all set for a proper thrasing

Majestic thrashing back 2 back tests. No holes left alone. Hard fed in both

 

[deltexas]

Good to see Ban getting thrashed here ! Such a minnow patheti team. They need to stop playing test cricket

 

[Dhakar Pola]

To my Bangladeshi brethrens here..do you feel the same rage with this team as me?

 

[BouncerGuy]

4 more wickets needed

 

[Bilal Ahmad15]

Rabada get at least 7 here

 

[BouncerGuy]

Mehdi and Jaker are holding on atm. Saved Inning defat at least

 

[Dhakar Pola]

I can't believe they are avoiding innings defeat. What an achievement. This is an achievement that will be remembered for generations. Icc should give the WTC trophy to shanto so that he can sleep with it

83 run unbeaten partnership ... 201/6

 

[BouncerGuy]

Day 3: Lunch Break - Bangladesh trail by 1 run

RSA 308
BAN 106 & 201/6 (63) CRR: 3.19

 

[Blackbradman]

Mehidy Hasan Miraz is the highest run-scorer as well as the leading wicket-taker for Bangladesh in the ongoing WTC cycle.

 

[Human786]

Mehidy Hasan Miraz is the highest run-scorer as well as the leading wicket-taker for Bangladesh in the ongoing WTC cycle.

& yet BD play just 3 bowlers besides him ..

 

[Human786]

229/6 ... looking good these 2

 

[sweep_shot]

Deburant Jaker has done well.

These two need to add 100-150 more runs minimum.

 

[BouncerGuy]

lots of time left. SA should be looking to finish the game today.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 229/6.

Leading by 27 runs.

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Jaker approaching 50 and it is reminding me of 50 and out syndrome of most BD batsman

 

[sweep_shot]

Maiden fifty for debutant Jaker Ali.

Well played.

BD - 239/6 (leading by 37 runs).

 

[Human786]

245/6 ... can they get 330+ ?

 

[Human786]

OUT

 

[BouncerGuy]

Maharaj strikes

 

[sweep_shot]

Jaker is out.

BD - 250/7.

Leading by 48 runs.

 

[sweep_shot]

Jaker was playing on the back foot a lot. Bad strategy on a spin-friendly pitch.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD's tail starts now. Can they add 100 more runs? Lead is worth 48 runs.

 

[sweep_shot]

Given out. Batter is reviewing.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Bangladesh is going down soon.

 

[Human786]

OUT

50/7 - new ball in 4 overs ...

 

[sweep_shot]

Given out. Batter is reviewing.

Great review. Decision has been overturned. Not out.

 

[Human786]

heavy rain ahead ...

 

[sweep_shot]

It is very gloomy out there. Lights are on. It may rain soon.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 262/7.

Lead is worth 60 runs.

 

[Human786]

heavy rain ahead ...

rain ....

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 267/7.

Leading by 65 runs.

Players are off. It is raining heavily.

 

[Dhakar Pola]

SA needs to finish this today..there is a possibility of no play in day 4 and 5

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Good fightback by mehidi miraz..game interestingly poised even though saf are fav....but if BD get good lead ..pressure of last innings chasing - anything can happen...

 

[Human786]

SA needs to finish this today..there is a possibility of no play in day 4 and 5

wonder if pacers can bowl when play resumes ...

 

[sweep_shot]

Game hasn't started yet. Wet outfield.

Forecast is showing rain for Day 4 and Day 5 also.
