***Official*** Bangladesh Tour of South Africa 2017

[Stefan9]

What a special bowler kg is.

 

[SeamUp]

Lucky's always had a good strong action and good skills.

Someone needs to say he can get quicker because he seems he is content to bowl this pace because then it will stay.

Needs more momentum and purpose in run up and release (****ing of the wrist) possibly.

Sparkling shot from The Fizz!

 

[Bijed]

Though in general Fizz's batting is a decent impression of someone playing Don Bradman Cricket and forgetting they've got the controls inverted.

 

[StephenZA]

Pretty efficent from SA in the end. Disappointing from Bangladesh expected more. At least I dont have to worry about having to watch the cricket at work tomorrow....

 

[quincywagstaff]

This series actually made the SL/India seem relatively close by comparison. Virtually no positives Bangladesh could take out of those two Tests.

As for South Africa, while against poor opposition, it did show that Rabada seems to be the sort of bowler who relishes being the leader of the attack. Will be interesting how the attack is structured when all their injured pacemen return.

This was basically what you'd expected from Bangladesh 15 years ago. Pathetic performance.

Yeah, I thought there was a chance of them being competitive, but didn't really expect them do do well. Wasn't expecting anything this bad, though.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Didn't expect much more from them after Shakib went out and Tamim got injured tbhThey are massively dependant on them. Losing your two best batsmen and your best bowler would be brutal for any team, much less a team with as few quality players as Bangladesh.

What is the most lopsided Test scoreline ever?

When Hayden beat Pakistan by an innings and 7 runs in Sharjah

 

[OverratedSanity]

SA v England at the Oval 2012 was pretty bad. It went to the final day and was "only" won by an innings and 12 runs, but SA only lost 2 wickets in the one innings they batted.

Some of India's thrashings on our last two tours to England were also pretty bad, though I can't be bothered to look up the scorelines.

 

[Heboric]

Well done boys, as someone earlier said played efficiently and ca nonly play whats in front of you.

Although we got 5 ranking points out of this

The scorecards for the 4th and the 5th Tests are amazing. It's literally Dhoni getting 70-80 odd and everyone else being dismissed for a single digit score.

Participation prize?

Participation prize?

Ha Ha, we drew the last series against Bangers. Thanks to it raining almost the entire test series

Liton Das

 

[Bahseph]

That was really dissapointing from Bangladesh. I didn't expect them to win,or even draw, but I thought there would be more fight. Das looks class though.

For SA, I think this match just confirmed that KG is going to be our designated attack leader for some time. He probably already is. Very impressed with Phelukwayo. I just think that he isn't sure what his stronger suit or his role in the team is yet. But if he starts bowling at 135-ish he could be a handful.

Not sure why Mushfiq is so power hungry. His captaincy is getting worse day by day and his pressers too. 99% of captains would have stepped down in this situation but thr bugger decided to stay. Time to sack him.

He's come out with some bizarre comments during this series, and some of his decisions on-field have seemed, at best, questionable. I got the impression from his comments that he was/is very much on the verge of submitting his resignation. Ideal candidates to replace him ? Tamim ?
