*Official* Afghanistan in Sri Lanka and Bangladesh 2023

[G. S. Kohli]

Mominul is done. No point in living in the past. He had his fair share of chances even after doing absolutely nothing past days. Time to put him in the bin and move forward. Tawhid Hridoy /Dipu far better deserving now at middle order.

Hridoy already proved many occasions at Junior level for dipu i do not know

They're nearly through to the tail now. They're right in the game. We're not going to have much joy bowling on this pitch either.

It's been a weird innings. Bangladesh for the majority have rarely been troubled yet find themselves 280/4

Tail 60% but Mehidy not hang around for nothing he will make quick runs

Its because theres no application or hunger. Just going with the flow than determination. We had big chance of getting a big score and take the game away but bottled it by own fault. Nothing to do than hope for few miscues to take score into 400 region and toil away bowling day 2 and day 3 when pitch will be lot easier to bat on.

Yeah I don't think so either; he only has one FC wicket after all.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Whats this terrible over rate. Havent seen this worse rate. They are behind 20 overs

 

[Aritro]

Thank God for this comeback by Mushfiq and Miraz, as I was starting to worry. Good on Afghanistan for showing some fight. They've bowled some truly terrible stuff though, which'll happen if you haven't been playing.

Yeah, he has bowled just one ball in his 9 test career so far. I don't think he will bowl on this pitch.

 

[CricAddict]

Yeah I don't think so either; he only has one FC wicket after all.

beat me to it.

 

[G. S. Kohli]

(End of over 90, Ban 374/4
Was BD record in 90 overs
vs Sri lanka in BD)

they lost 11 overs today with miraz around they missed oppertunity of 400 runs a day.

 

[Coronis]

Haven’t been following this much but damn, just looking at the squads, no Tamim, Shakib or Rashid in the test. Sad days.

 

[G. S. Kohli]

beat me to it.

Still they should includes him better than nothing situation in first 40 overs.

In the past Tendulkar & Shoib Akhter included with all sorts of form issue but you can impact opposition with "Just Name"

 

[Migara]

Haven’t been following this much but damn, just looking at the squads, no Tamim, Shakib or Rashid in the test. Sad days.

It is not Rashid who is real deal in tests. It is Mujeeb. Rashid and Mujeeb playing together is a damn good spin attack. The one that is played here is just serving up pies.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

It is not Rashid who is real deal in tests. It is Mujeeb. Rashid and Mujeeb playing together is a damn good spin attack. The one that is played here is just serving up pies.

And you have based this on one match (red ball) that Mujeeb ever played. Not sure if serious post though
