Mushfiq is playing well and concentrating hard. Hope he continues tomorrow but needs support at the other end

I have literally no idea because it's ****ing impossible to watch this.
Seriously, playing cricket when during working hours on Monday and then having the only 2 legal channels broadcasting be exclusive only to the 2 countries playing. This is why test cricket is dying /BrokenRecordRant

Good thing they flew over SOK. Would have really struggled without him!
No seriously he's probably going through alcohol withdrawal (which can be genuinely debilitating). Maxwell could have done a better job.

Nah keep going with it. The more you rant about it the more likely you might influence others to rant as well and the more likely someone will do something about it.

Wait til they bat, they'll make 7 runs between them for the match (mostly Lyon).

Lyon needs a trip to the UAE roads vs Misbah/Younis just to remind him of where he truly stands.

Can't believe they went into a test match thinking it would be a good idea to play Pat ****ing Cummins as the lone fast bowler. No wonder these guys are always hurt.

Been a while since I have posted here. The weather makes things interesting as there is meant to be rain and scattered thundershowers at least one or twice everyday for the next four days in Chittagong.
Knowing Bangladesh, their target should be to get to 275 first, then 300, then 320 and if possible beyond.

No idea actually, but for some reason I have a vivid image of him having his stumps splattered after playing back and bring his bat down and across at a horrible angle.

Well, Bangladesh went in with only Mustafizur Rahman. I guess they would use Soumya a couple of times if needed to bowl his dibley-dobleys when needed.

Pretty remarkable turnaround for Lyon in Asia this year after his struggles in the 2013-2016 period. He really seems to be relishing being leader of the attack for the first time in his career; with this self-belief who knows how many Test wickets he could end up with.
That was strangely atypical bowling from O'Keefe with slow, loopy and fullish deliveries constantly. I'm guessing it was to provide a point of difference with the other spinners but flight doesn't seem his speciality and it just didn't work.
Cartwright's bowling reminded me of a slower version of Shane Watson at the start of his Test career; ball doesn't deviate one centimetre from the hand and on pitches like this isn't much of a threat. Still, Watson developed into a fine swing bowler and Cartwright I think can develop that too with his action.

I really like Cartwright as a young bat (ignoring his bowling entirely) and I think he'll forge a spot in this team within the next couple of years.. but his technique isn't suited to playing spin at all yet. I'd have more confidence in him against Philander on Day 1 in South Africa than I would against Taijul here, and Taijul's only the third best spinner Bangladesh have playing.

Does Rahman have a working spine? Because Cummins does not.

Speaking of Taijul, he might be effective in this pitch as he made his entire career playing on these sorts of pitches. If that makes sense

Yeah but he only has one working shoulder, which is just as much of a problem at times.
