*Official* Bangladesh v India 2022/23

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Kuldeep Yadav's record is so good ! Can't think of a non regular legspinner in Tests performing so well at every opportunity given.

Macgill was probably the last one.

Not getting picked when even net bowlers were getting a shot in Australia must have done his confidence some damage. Handy bowler when he doesn't get the yips for sure.

His stats are always deceptive though. He is close to unplayable for poor players of spin and tailenders but against good players of spin on good tracks he is almost club standard in how easily they can play him. As the game goes longer, I think he does become a bit more efficient and the fact that he can be smacked around matters a bit lesser, but its still a risk and I really dont think he will pose issues to the really good players as often. Still an excellent guy to have as 3rd spinner, esp. as in tests at least, he can bat time and help the batter at the other end.

Gill's maiden Test 100, and at a decent pace too. Not bad for someone who's been a bit flukey since Brisbane.

India gonna declare before stumps?

Never seen Pujara bat this aggressively. He is playing in T20 mode. Maybe he's been told that he only has certain amount of overs (like 5-6) till declaration. Kohli is simply giving back the strike to Pujara

 

[centurymaker]

Pujara's SR has gone above 75!!

 

[centurymaker]

Pujara's last 40 runs have come in 29 balls. #Bazball ?

 

[ataraxia]

Wow, incredible! Scoring runs quickly against the might of Yasir Ali, Liton Das, and Najmul Hossain Shanto!

 

[honestbharani]

Its interesting that we think this about Pujara. He almost always accelerates well for declaration batting or batting with tail or after he makes a 100 or even a 50, esp. in SC conditions.

 

[centurymaker]

But this guy normally bats at a SR of 30, even against crap bowlers so it is unprecedented for him.

 

[Xix2565]

Pujara's fastest Test 100 ever, and India declare on 258-2 (61.4), leaving Bangladesh about 2 days to get 513 runs needed for victory.

Hope Axwin don't bar Kuldeep on the way to a richly-deserved 10-fer

He deserves it if he bowls well in this gig. ??‍

Yeah, from all the SENA countries, he's only ever going to be good in Aus with his technique. But he definitely should be doing better in the SC.

 

[ashley bach]

Bangladesh well on track to smash the highest ever 4th innings chase.
Run rate required 2.61 should be a walk in the park.

 

[ashley bach]

It may yet flatten out

Walk in the park.

Yeah, early career Pujara also scored relatively quickly from time to time.
