***Official*** Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe in Bangladesh 2017/18

[NUFAN]

How does Moses bowl just 3, Mominul 2, and Mahmadullah just 1 out of 200 overs in total.

Poor Taijul

Punishment for getting out before Mahmudullah could get to his century.

Ltion should be an automatic pick when Bangladesh tour outside Asia IMO but he looks decidedly dodgy against spin for a Bangladeshi batsman to me. If he's going to play at home at all I think he probably has to open as he often does domestically.

What a superhighway.

ICC should issue a warning.

 

[S.Kennedy]

It is as turgid a wicket as Melbourne.

 

[Shri]

Mominul Haque is not terrible.

 

[S.Kennedy]

Heck of a catch by Perera.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Bit of a joke pitch but this should still be a fun session.

 

[Himannv]

Just tuning in. Mominul Haque seems to have had an awesome match.

 

[Himannv]

A draw was always the most likely result here. Shoot the curator.

This ended up a bit of a **** post. Did get out to Herath eventually though, which he looked like doing every ball before reaching 20.

Is this going to be one of those 500 v 500 and then 200ao second innings shootout Tests?

Usually if it's flat here (and it usually is flat here), it doesn't change enough for the latter of your post to hold true.

Much less **** though.

Well done to bangla's to secure a draw. excellent effort from monimul.. shame about the track which riuns test cricket.. nice to see our youngsters getting some runs too.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Gutted I missed this

Not really

 

[Starfighter]

At least Bang didn't stuff it up for once. Can we have a livelier wicket next time?

 

[randycricfreak]

Well, very disappointing with wicket.

This is not how a wicket should behave.

Credit goes for Mominul and Liton Das, handled the spin very well.Kept the dangerous Herath at bay.Mominul is such a gem for Bangladesh. Everytime Bangladesh play a test vs Sri Lanka, it's always Mominul. I wonder how he doesn't end up playing all the Tests for Bangladesh.

 

[andruid]

Monimul next great test batsman?

 

[Daemon]

He's pretty much guaranteed to be a Bangladeshi ATG unless they drop him like idiots again.

 

[cnerd123]

Hope this pitch produces a result

 

[cnerd123]

Abdur Razzak making a comeback to the Test side??? That's bizarre.

Moses dropped. Booo.

 

[Himannv]

Akila Dananjaya makes his Test debut but Sandakan sits out.

Danushka Gunathilaka plays instead of a fast bowler to strengthen the batting.

 

[Prince EWS]

****ing ridiculous selection from Bangladesh.
