*Official* Bangladesh Tour of West Indies (& Guyana) 2022

[Aritro]

A gorgeous shot to get off the mark. Bijoy looks in fine touch...like a certain Ashraful.

He looks composed and balanced and light on his feet and I'm terrified of hitting "Post reply" cos I'll probably regret it.

I think getting the openers out makes it a pretty good session for the Windies really. Tamim was in fine touch and looked set for a ton.

I'm liking this version of Bijoy. The dude looks solid and compact. Plays the pace well.

 

[Aritro]

Waste of a paradisical batting wicket. Gross.

Don't worry we're just as capable of doing that

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Like roach ain’t getting that 250 in this innings

 

[Aritro]

The way Nurul falls over when he playing anything straight, you'd think he's batting on one leg.

 

[Beamer]

Don't worry we're just as capable of doing that

Also the way it is keeping low sometimes on a good length worries me because many of our batters hover on the back door.

 

[Flametree]

Good to see Ebadot being rewarded with getting his average up to 1 per innings by being promoted to number 9.... I know we shouldn't care about bowlers' batting ability, but Bangladesh are giving about a 40 run head start to the opponents with their current 9-10-11...

 

[Flametree]

Seems I have to retract that last comment. This tail wags....

Seems I have to retract that last comment. This tail wags....

Nah the 40 run head start call was spot on regardless tbh.

Taskin would add a few runs if he was available.

 

[Aritro]

Lol ebadot shepherding another batsman through an over is nuts.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

So it’ll be something around the average first innings score on this ground, 250

 

[Aritro]

He really puts the full in Shoriful ?

 

[trundler]

Joseph getting that average closer to 30

 

[Aritro]

It's a batting wicket all over. Ignore the subpar Deshi score

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Okay, it’s our day obviously. Kraigg’s brisk approach to his innings bode well for things to come.

John Campbell should rendezvous with a maiden century. High hopes.

 

[Starfighter]

Not too surprised at Bangladesh batting poorly despite the pitch being fairly easy.

Also no way is Shoriful fully fit, he's way down on pace.

 

[trundler]

100/2 to 234 all out and 56/6 to 264/6 in the same day. All kinds of bad cricket is fun.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

That Devon Thomas catch was something, eh?

 

[Aritro]

That Devon Thomas catch was something, eh?

It was unreal. Windies bats have a real chance to fill their boots today, that pitch is a dream for guys who are used to pace.
