I agree with this, I can't remember when it was, but I remember Tino Best causing all sorts of problems one year and you couldn't say that too often in his test career.
I only remember him causing us problems in that series in the Caribbean when all your main players were on strike. Him and a very young Kemar Roach took all the wickets for you. We won, but it was embarrassing losing all those wickets to Tino Best. He was proper **** was Tino.

Yes. There's a reason Nikita Miller averages like 10 in WIndies Domestic. And there's bugger all teams, too!

Windies need to put the foot down today. Finish up with a big lead and bat for another day after

Mushfiqur gets out after playing a reverse sweep shot.

Athar is fuming
I don't think there's that much wrong with playing a reverse sweep in tests these days. They all practice it and know how to play it, and it's a good ploy to move the fielders around and force the bowler to change tactics. Athar will fume though. He loves an old trope about what to do and what not to do. It's all he knows.

Mithun is such a spud.

Little annoys me more than him being selected in Test cricket. COVID-19 restrictions are a walk in the park compared to another Mithun cap.

He doesn't have a good technique, he doesn't have a good range of strokes, he doesn't look he's "underperforming" relative to his talent, he doesn't have a good record in domestic cricket, he doesn't have a good record in ODIs, he has an absolutely awful record in Tests, he's not young and he doesn't bowl at all.

He really has absolutely nothing going for him. It's not a case here of just thinking the bad outweighs the good -- he really just has no qualities that would put him ahead of 30 or so other domestic batsmen in Bangladesh.

I usually root for Bangladesh to bridge the gap a bit between them and the Test nations just above them, but when they pick this spud they deserve to lose by an innings. Dropping players like Mahmudullah who they know they can get an almost-Test-standard-but-not-quite contribution from consistently might be a brave move they need to take, but Mithun isn't fit to lick his box clean after a vintage "40 and then stupid sweep".

>inb4 he pulls a Mayers second dig now

This is my favourite post of 2021.

Haha I hadn't even seen it when I posted my rant. I just wanted to wait until he was actually out before I posted it because I'm a coward.
I had my irate message to Cricinfo published in their commentary feed, pointing out that just cos he was 1 off 30 doesn't mean he was being responsible, mature or appropriately careful. It was a flat pitch, the bowling wasn't great and he's just ****.

Two uppity ****wits had their response messages published chewing out people bagging Mithun for being slow, "watch T20 if you don't like it" type nonsense.

It's made me hate him more.
