Taskin doesn’t bowl that quick? Or Ebadot?

Taskin and Ebadot both on 135-140 region

IIRC andy roberts told taskin to put on less muscle if he wants to bowl quick

This could be an important Test for Shanto. He's done nothing since his ton in Sri Lanka a couple of years ago and his overall record is frankly awful (he's played half his Tests at home and averages 14 in this games). I reckon Joy has much more upside as a red ball player.

Not a bad recovery.

 

[G. S. Kohli]

50* for Old war horse but no declaration here, lead near 550

 

[Prince EWS]

Not a bad recovery.

Yeah it was an important Test for him and he made the most of it for sure.

 

[Aritro]

Shanto has started looking like an actual quality international white ball player but his test record is indefensible. I don't think his technique is suited with its emphasis on head position while neglecting footwork. Works for white ball hitting by creating more space to swing through, will get you into trouble against quality red ball pace bowling if people are moving it around.

He could hardly have done better against this inexperienced attack though.

Why are BD still batting lol

Why are BD still batting lol

See above.

 

[Aritro]

Nah I assume it's something to do with being wary after the Windies chased down nearly 400 in a fourth innings against us with the pitch flattening out.

660 is probably enough though.

 

[Starfighter]

Not like they're short of time either. Still two full days to go.

 

[Prince EWS]

Bangladesh being sooo dominant and Hamza being soooo **** in both innings has kind of upset me.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Strange I thought they were declaring after Liton Das got a hundred

Copped out and settled for the red ink

Interesting how few of the Afg team have even pro'd in England to widen their experiece, and that with the exception of Zahir Khan most of those who have played county cricket don't appear to be regulars in the test team.
