Good knock by Shanto. Puts them well in control at present.
Yeah I like the idea of Miraz doing it. He has proven to be a disappointment as a test bowler so far though. I thought he'd have matured into being a world class offie by now but he's a long way off and still too reliant on the pitch. Needs to go up a level in his later 20s.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.
Miraz didnt develop the ball that goes away from RH. His variation is very limited and his height does not give him any extra advantage to overcome. Either he’ll bowl straight or its gonna turn into RH (not massive). So he basically needs a minefield that he got in his first two series against England and Australia at home. He does not come into the team as first choice in away tests (outside Asia) so that leaves a question mark for giving him the captaincy.Yeah I like the idea of Miraz doing it.

He actually looked like a good holding bowler in recent SENWA tests, getting through a lot of miserly overs and allowing the quicks to rotate around him, but without ever looking like getting wickets.Miraz didnt develop the ball that goes away from RH.

de-spit-able (him)!
Mehidy is going to take a 7fer if NZ second innings start any time after the first session tomorrow. I think this pitch is gonna hard to play on days 4 and 5. Sylhet isn't a traditional Mirpur low and slow wicket.Yeah I like the idea of Miraz doing it. He has proven to be a disappointment as a test bowler so far though.

If we're assuming Shanto will keep batting like has in the last two tests, and not the way he did for 2-3 years before that then he might be the right choice*.
*based on this one game
Are you sure the pitch going to break up so much? It certainly played well in the third day and average turn was one degree less than second day. It could be that kind of pitch that just holds the cracks a bit longer. Anything is possible.

Shoriful bowled very well in the first innings.
Keep an eye out for Nicholls surreptitiously working on the ball with his helmet.
