Batting is not upto it. Bowling has so much improved especially pace bowling.

Yah, first time I am seeing a good pace unit from BD. It will help a lot winning tests away from home. Even in BD, no need to put total dustbowls because these pacers can win the match.

This is the confidence I want Indian team to go in the field with. I want all of the Indian team players thinking "we can beat BD with 9 players only, so I don't need to take this seriously there are other 9 guys for that"

Do you still think I was overconfident ?

Brother Pakistan cricket is almost finished. The youngsters are just interested in 20 20 , they are no longer good for longer format. Beating Pakistan is no longer a big Deal.

Beating India in India is the most difficult thing right now in Test. It takes great skills and absolute execution.

You as a fan can be anything. India as a team was not overconfident. They took us seriously and the gap of quality between the two team showed. If Indian players went with "yeah let someone else do my job" then BD might have caused trouble, There are enough hints in this test match to believe that. If you dont agree then it's your opinion
 
No they won’t be able because India is far ahead in cricket. Pakistan going backwards with relying on Misbah tuktuk theory.

I clearly mentioned in my post before what I mean. I said if Bangladesh avoid innings defeat , that will be big effort by them. India in India in Tests is a beast. Much better teams have been destroyed by India in home.

I also said in many of my posts that India in India is almost unbeatable. Many strong teams like the ATG Aus team of 2000s couldn't do it. But that does not mean that India will come out and say hey we need 9 guys only to beat you(which Indian team did not do or think). Little humility goes a long way

I no where said India can win with 9 players. If I said show me. I am responsible for what I have said.
 
Bangladesh is on the verge of losing here. 4th day started and they needed 318 more to win and 5 wickets down already.
1-0 coming soon.
 
Another player of match for Ashwin.

The competition is not between who will win between two teams but who will be the second best performer for India in winning cause because Ashwin is always #1.
 
Well winning the series against India on their home soil was not on tbh but after Bangladesh's performance against Pakistan I honestly thought for a second that they could draw the series.

It's what happens when you overestimate performances against Pakistan. Understandable.
 
Bangla boys got white-washed by India. There was no real hope anyways.
 
After the series with Pakistan, I expected a good fight from Bangladesh against India. Except for one session in the first test, they played like minnows. Any cricket-mad nation would have sacked a couple of players for their second test performance. Absolutely pathetic, they couldn’t even last two days in a test match.

These guys aren’t even fit to play against our Ranji teams. Please stop inviting them; it's a waste of our time.
 
Expected much better fight from them. But their batting is abysmal. Half decent in patches. On a flat pitch they have lost 20 wickets. Bangladesh batted 121 overs in this test. India just needed to bat 52 overs to beat them.
 
It was very poor from BD in the second test. I meant giving 8-10 runs per over for entire inning was just too much and then not able to save the test when less than 180 overs were bowled in this match. Pitch was good to bat and losing a test in 2 days of cricket. Just played poorly.

Yeah I was trying to find a way to say we should talk about them with a little bit of respect but it's impossible. They were barely relevant as an opposition on two pitches that held no demons whatsoever - standard subcontinent wickets they should be familiar with after 20+ years of Test cricket and numerous visits to India.

Like you said, the only time there was any doubt was one session. The rest of it felt like men against kids.

"But we were ready with that factor as well, that even if we get all out for 100-150, we wanted to give ourselves a chance to be in the game and try and get a result" - Rohit
------------

It was the most aggresive batting in history of test cricket to force a result in 2 days of play ( Less than 180 overs of play in 5 days). It looks easy in hidsight but willingness to get bowled out of 100 runs to keep the result option open is not an easy call.
 
Well, 24 hours later...

I'm still thinkin how the fridge did our guys pull this one off inside about 7.5 sessions or 180 ov or whatever the fridge it was..

and to top it off - the guy who scored a 100 was frm the opposition - What an awesome 100 that was , in the hype and dust this match generated, i do not think it got the credit it deserved...well played.

- am still gobsmacked at that comical - run out that never materialized - in the midst of various records in this match, that blooper of a run out miss has to make the top 10 of every top 10 run out bloopers that exist on U-tube...

My commiserations to some excellent Bangladesh posters we saw during this series-some i felt were so knowledgable and contributed positively on their posts - wish you well in the series against the SAFFERS....TBH - this is your best chance to sweep SAF knowing they are not flash against spin....and now you have a potent pace attack as well...

Moving on to the T20's - am happy that the BCCI did'nt botch this one up and decided to put emphais on pace with selection of MY and HR....that alone will make people watch the series - i know i will be watching as a lover of true pace bowling...

Khela hobe-- aaane Do!
 
It was a really a top class knock from Mominul. Bumrah, Siraj, Ashwin, Jadeja, even the new Indian pacer and in India. Absolutely a top class bowling unit and he got the ton.

I saw highlights and he batted sensibly to attack and defend as needed. Many others from BD were not able to adjust attack and defence at all. Yes, it's hard agaisnt ATG bolwing units but that's what makes it special.

Kudos for Mominul for playing that knock. It has to be one of the best knocks by BD batsmen agaisnt a top class bowling unit.

True. I wonder when they will have their landmark Test series win though. 13 years of Test cricket and it's yet to happen .

Hopefully next time BD would be touring India after beating a team of some significance to fortify their self belief
 
Bangladesh's recent win against Pakistan in Pakistan is not a reflection of how good they are, but how pathetic the Pakistan cricket team actually is.

India is an excellent cricket team, unlike Pakistan.

Yeah. It got drowned out due to the Indian win but that was one of the cleanest knocks I've seen in recent times by a visiting batter on Indian soil. He played Ashwin with absolute ease , which is not easy for a left hander on any type of wicket.

Yah, I did not see the emtire match, but left handers normaly struggle agasint Ahswin and he played him very well. His knock surely got drowned out due to India doing something unthinkable. He played Bumrah and Jadeja well as well.

I think BD will do better in test in future. Glimpse of briliance in pacers and batsmen. I rarely saw that in past. I am not talking about knocks which were more important for teams and it may have come agasint far inferior bowling units or came like some one taking lots of chances and getting lucky. I only meant a high quality knock agasint a high quality bowling unit and that too playing in their den.

@Dhakar Pola , @BDfanforever , @KingLiton, @Mainul , @MMHS ---

I don't see all BD games, but some of you guys must be following BD matches more closely. Where do you guys rank knock by Mominul among high quality knocks against top class bowling. Yes, pitch was not that hard, but not often opposition has Bumrah, Ashwin, Jadeja etc bowling at the same time. Even Siraj and new pacer were bowling well. So not a situation where you see off one and capitalize on others.

I am not looking for knocks like Ducket. Gives plenty of chances and gets lucky.

@Buffet i was really surprised to see that kind of high quality knock coming from Mominul against arguably the best bowling quintet in the world. Mominul was out of form, has a very bad record in India or against India . Some of his strokeplay was scintillating to watch.
No doubt it has been the best knock by far against India from a Bangladeshi batter.

But for me personally that innings now means nothing to me after this humiliating defeat in 2 days. I would have rated this innings had Mominul did well in 2nd innings.

Well, you can't do much about one team being far superior and that's why I focused on quality of knock and not the result. I was just surprised to see such a clean knock with fantastic strokeplay. It shows ability.

I told before, although we are somewhat better in tests than we were before, we are not consistent. And India after the initial first 2 sessions of the first match, played ruthlessly in the rest of the series

Mominul is one of the best Test batters for BD. He has 13 Test centuries which is the highest in BD's history.

Looked at all BD batsmen record. It's very strange that despite scoring 13 tons in 65 tests ( 1 ton every 5 tests) , he is averaging 38. I would have expected him to average higher.

I guess he gets out on zero lots of time ( total 14), so that must be pulling his average down.
 
Bangladesh lost the series because of their batting. They could not repeat the performances like they did against Pakistan. I won't say that they give India tough times. Nay.

It was total domination by the Indian team.

Their thought process was correct going in with 3 spinners given that SG ball has pronounced seam on an ultra slow flat pitch. Kanpur pitch was not really helpful for seamers. Ball just sat up to be hit. This was a road. When Australia was given a road they managed to draw the Test. Batsmen had to step up
 
Tiger prawns are roasted on both sides right after being caught fresh. Zomato boys team in our area could probably beat this Bangla team.
BCB should stop visiting India to avoid embarrassment. This is the worst series by a team in India in recent times. Even Afghanistan and other smaller teams show some intent and fight, but these Toy Tigers are playing below club level.

I am sure Pakistan would have played better cricket. Bangladesh's win against Pakistan was just a fluke.

India also lost in BD last time they toured BD (India lost the ODI series 1-2).

Anyway, BD should've done better. No excuse. Bad performance.
