King Kane

International Regular
The pitch seems to be getting easier to bat on, it will need to be as we look like we could be chasing about 400 now.

Excellent ton. Exactly what the side needed. Got very timid in the 90s but excusable given the occasion. Throwing away starts has been a big problem for BD so kudos to Shanto for stepping up

How good has the young skipper Shanto been ? Great knock .
Apart from the knock, I thought his bowling rotation was good with field placements. He brought Shoriful at a good time and Shoriful gave that important break through by picking up nicholls. Then he brought mominul who picked up Phillips.

Yeah I'm ready to shoot my load too early and declare him the captain we need. I'd have brought mominul on sooner though. He was bowling like peak Herath
 

Moss

International Captain
Excellent work Shanto and well done BD in what could have been a very tricky 3rd innings.

I don’t mind Liton but he seems to be a bit selfish to be a team man. Miraz although was a giant in u19 level but I am not too sure that others would listen to him now in dressing room. We have no choice better than Shanto atm.
