South Africa tour of Bangladesh (2024)

104-run partnership between Mulder and Muthusamy.

That too at a good pace. Should get 600 today and declare with at least 10 overs to be bowled.
 
Bangladesh had that good little period with a few wickets but now SA are well in control again. Will probably look to declare with just enough time for Bangladesh to face 5 overs or so at the end of today
 
Bangladesh has scored 10 runs after the first ball of their innings. Bangladesh were awarded five penalty runs for S Muthusamy running on the pitch, and Rabada gave five extras (no ball + 4 byes).
 
Very disappointed with BD's performance in this series.

At home, they used to be more competitive.

This South African side is full of rookies (many debuted very recently). BD should've done better.

I am myself surprised how easily BD is folding at home against SA. After seeing them play in Paksitan, I thought team can play test cricket a lot better. I even ignored Indian series. I guess my assesment on BD test team was way off taget.
 
To anyone who argued that shanto sleeping with the Pakistan tour trophy was not a clown show, does that look silly now after India and SA thrashing?

Icc should downgrade us. I mean there is no point playing against the big boys now. Pak series looks like now more related to Pakistan being Pakistan than BD winning. We should just play in the tier cricket against Nepal,Ned, Scotland etc and if we do significantly well there then we can be given another run after 5 years

BCB,BCT even the BD commentators are just embarrassing. Only the umpire sarafadoullah is saving some grace for BD in cricket

Agree.

I think this is a combination of 2 things:

1) They seem a bit demoralized after recent defeats (against India and South Africa).

2) BD's regular pace bowlers are missing (Shoriful, Taskin etc.). They haven't played in this series. I think that is a bit of a factor.

Anyway, BD should've done better. They generally do okay at home.

Bangladesh vs South Africa, 2nd Test

Day 2: Stumps - Bangladesh trail by 537 runs
Click to expand...
Bangladesh lost four wickets in their first seven overs in a hapless reply to South Africa’s mammoth first innings of 575-6 at stumps Wednesday on day two of the second and final Test in Chattogram.

The hosts were 38-4 when bad light forced an early end to play, with Mominul Haque (six) and Najmul Hossain Shanto (four) resuming on Thursday.

Bangladesh trail by 537 runs after a commanding performance by the visitors that gifted maiden Test centuries to three batsmen including Tony de Zorzi, who was dismissed before lunch on 177.

Kagiso Rabada struck in the first over after the change, cutting off Shadman Islam for a duck when the left-hander edged a delivery going down the leg side.

Zakir Hasan also edged to the wicketkeeper playing a Rabada length ball outside off, departing for two.

Mahmudul Hasan Joy top-scored with 10 before falling to Dane Paterson while driving an outside-off delivery but managed only a thick edge to Aiden Markram at the second slip.

Hasan Mahmud came early as an intended nightwatchman but was fooled by sharp turn from Keshav Maharaj in the spinner’s first over.

South Africa’s total was their second-highest against Bangladesh behind 583-7 at the same venue in 2008.

Wiaan Mulder (105 not out) joined De Zorzi and Tristan Stubbs (106) to make his maiden hundred on a pitch offering little help to the bowlers.

Senuran Muthusamy was unbeaten at the declaration for 68 off 75 balls with five fours and two sixes, his Test best.

Ryan Rickelton was the only batsman to fall in the second session when he edged a Nahid Rana delivery shaping away from his body to the wicketkeeper, departing for 12.

Left-arm spinner Taijul Islam pegged back the visitors in the morning with three wickets in three overs, claiming his second five-wicket haul of the series.

He toppled David Bedingham’s leg stump to end a 116-run stand for the third wicket with De Zorzi.

Bedingham departed after a brisk 59 off 78 balls that contained two fours and four sixes.

His wicket prompted a mini-collapse as De Zorzi swiped across the line and was trapped lbw by Taijul to leave South Africa 391-4.

In all, the opener smashed four sixes and 12 fours in his 269-ball knock.

South Africa won the opening Test inside four days with fast bowler Rabada taking 6-46 in the second innings.

Bangladesh have played 24 Tests in Chattogram but won only two with seven drawn.

just 75 over bowled today & we can presume only 225 overs remain in the Test now . Does SAF bowl out BD for say 250-260 in 50-55 overs tomorrow , get a lead of 300 , add another 200 [ remember , teams do not enforce follow-on ] in say 60 overs & set a target of 500 in 100-110 overs or be pragmatic & set a target of 420-425 & give themselves 125 overs to bowl them out ?
 
OMG just checked the score

Where is @Mas-LFC ? He was having a field day when NZ was beating India.

Looks like BD is on course for another whitewash after getting whitewashed from India.

Minnows for a reason

You shouldn't get too excited. India may get whitewashed against both NZ and Australia also. LOL.

Did I say BD is not a poor team? Not sure what your point is.

I was responding to Rajdeep.

Whether they can save this game or not, let's see. God didn't give me the ability to see future. Only God knows future.

I think what brother @Human786 is trying to say is being a fan of a minnow side, you should not mock big teams like India for losing a home series after 12 years. It is like spitting looking at the sky.

I can mock any team I want. I am not a submissive fella.

Cricket is not my profession and I don't play for BD.

You are a Bangladeshi and your team just got whitewashed by India.

Now you are mocking same India for losing a test series against NZ for the first time in 12 years.

Don't you find it cringe?

Of course you can mock anyone in internet

Whether Bangladesh win or lose, I don't get any monetary benefit or any other benefit. I am not affiliated with BD cricket.

Therefore, it is not cringy at all. I am only responsible for my own failures and successes.

BD will be hard pressed to save this game ! There seem 2 be lot o emotional fans but fact is , they are a poor TEST Team . 38/4 on this dead deck backs my assertion !!!

Not sure which BD fan is being emotional and which BD fan is saying BD is not a poor Test team. LOL.

This is not just your assertion but also assertions of many (including myself).

I am glad you are stating the obvious that BD is a poor Test team. Let's solidify that truth by writing it in 5 different languages:

English: Bangladesh is a poor Test nation.
Urdu: بنگلہ دیش ایک غریب ٹیسٹ ملک ہے۔
Hindi: बांग्लादेश एक गरीब टेस्ट देश है.
Bengali: বাংলাদেশ একটি বাজে টেস্ট দেশ।
Simplified Chinese: 孟加拉国是一个糟糕的测试国家。
 
Bangladesh trying to break India record of 49 all out at home as they are 48/8 atm against South Africa.
 
Ohh my Gosh! Is this a team that whitewashed Pakistan in Pakistan? A South African team with average batting lineup and bowling attack led by Rabada have literally murdered this Bangladesh team. :shakib
 
A fighting 50 from Mominul. Bangladesh 113/8 atm.

Good partnership this is between Mominul and Taijul

South Africa should score 500 first up. This is often a very weird pitch that is even flatter on day 5 and at its toughest on day 3 etc. Very unpredictable .

It's the sort of pitch where you have to eliminate the possibility of a loss first before thinking about winning.

500 upfront. Bowling on Day 3. Ideal from Saffers.

With the way their team is performing, Bangladeshi fans might start doing the "thalle thalle," as their team seems to be going downhill with every series. :inti

Is "thalle thalle" a dance move?

I googled and nothing came up. Anyway, doing "balle balle" can help you lose calories.
 
South Africa break long-standing record with 17 sixes against Bangladesh

The Proteas produced an eye-catching performance with the bat as they remained in contention for a place in the World Test Championship Final.

South Africa broke a long-standing record of more than 14 years during the first innings of the second Test against Bangladesh in Chattogram.

The Proteas smashed a total of 17 sixes during the innings as they amassed 575/6 declared, breaking their previous best total of 15 sixes they had managed against the West Indies back in 2010.

It was the equal third most amount of sixes ever achieved in one innings in men's Test cricket, with New Zealand holding the record of 22 sixes against Pakistan in 2014.

Most sixes in one innings - Men's Tests

New Zealand22v Pakistan (2014)
India18v England (2024)
South Africa17v Bangladesh (2024)
Australia17v Zimbabwe (2003)
Sri Lanka16v Ireland (2023)
Tony de Zorzi, David Bedingham and Wiaan Mulder all managed four sixes each, while Tristan Stubbs (three) and Senuran Muthusamy (two) also cleared the rope on multiple occasions.

Only last year the Proteas broke the record for most sixes at a single edition of an ICC Men's Cricket World Cup when they hit a whopping total of 99 sixes during the 2023 event in India.

South Africa's big total put them in control of the second Test against Bangladesh, with newly-crowed No.1 Test bowler Kagiso Rabada taking two key wickets prior to stumps on day two to leave the hosts reeling at 38/4 in reply.

If South Africa can complete a series sweep over Bangladesh it will leave them well placed to reach a first ICC World Test Championship Final next year, with remaining series at home against Sri Lanka and Pakistan.

The Proteas currently it in fifth place on the standings, but can finish in the top two and qualify for next year's final with positive results from their remaining fixtures.
