Perhaps those more familiar with Bangladesh are in a better position to comment, but my understanding is that early September is still part of the monsoon season there. So after going down 1-0, Aus were even if ever so slightly and fractionally lucky for the weather to have sufficiently held off. The last time tests were played at this time of year, SA and India touring, there were washouts.

Seems it only rains in the monsoon season now when Bangladesh is on top.

Ah so by "lucky" you meant because it could have been rained out and the 2nd test been a draw, that actually makes sense

there is nothing funnier than fat medium pacers sending down unplayable hooping deliveries under an overcast sky.

I was really hoping he'd be left unbeaten in the 2nd innings, so that if he didn't play again he'd have beaten Andy Ganteaume's record for highest average (no qualification)

So the news is that Pak are looking for the replacement of Amir as he's not fully fit which is sad because he's an exciting and world class even though he doesn't get much wickets and are looking to replace him with spray gun Riaz

If that's true they're going to lose this 2 match series 3-0.

Amir is a monster loss, yeah the numbers are not world class, but the guy has horror luck when it comes to dropped catches. No Younis, Yasir or Misbah and an out of form Azhar also? They won't be troubling England that much.

It's also less how good Amir is and more how bad his replacement will be

And the conditions. Not a lot of drop off from Amir to someone like Wahab in the UAE, but there's a much bigger difference in England.

Good point, Wahab's actually better than Amir in UAE imo, but it's a significant level drop in England.

I admit the longer stuff is not his strongest format, but a shame they have given up on Junaid Khan especially if scrubs like Rahat Ali still are persisted with.
