Karthik will replace the injured Saha

We're now picking our Test team based on the pinnacle of the sport - Nidahas Trophy

Yeeeeesss.

In any case, it's not Parthiv.

 

[Daemon]

He played 1 FC game last season and scored 5 (although he did score heavily in 16/17). Meh selection imo. If you want to select on the back of T20s why not Kishan/Samson who did that and also scored plenty in the Ranji? Unless they really see Karthik's keeping as so much superior to the alternatives it makes little sense to me.

Afghanistan vs Bangladesh seems to be interesting - reckon Afghanistan will see off Bangladesh through their bowling

 

[Black_Warrior]

Have a feeling Afghanistan are a better T20 side especially given BD are without Mustafiz and haven't played much cricket in recent times

 

[Daemon]

Afghanistan's batting isn't great though. They'll need it to be a relatively low scoring contest. I think they'll sneak a win in there but not the series.

 

[harsh.ag]

Bangladesh have finally come to their senses and decided on India as their home venue, I see.

Afghanistan favourite for me in this series. Our weakest game is t20 and we are without fizz.

not sure why new mods want to post first than sticking the thread

Cause you desecrated the test thread by including the T20s.

Says the mod who stickies IPL thread above all else and keeps it stickied well after the bloated, overlong tournament came to an end.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

**** that must have hit hard

 

[harsh.ag]

My insides hurt

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

The pitch looks belter

 

[Daemon]

This has honestly been incredibly boring to watch so far. Meh bowling and batting.

I've seen none of the game, know nothing of the pitch or ground, but I still say AFG could well defend this score.

Hopefully Shafiq gets to move up the order in this series later.

Yeah Afghanistan looked ****ed before that late finish courtesy some classic Bangladeshi fast bowling. This is definitely defendable now.

 

[Mr Miyagi]

Mujeeb takes a wicket first ball.

Yeah.

Spin twins Mujeeb and Rash, support from Nabi and Shenwari. This could get close and goto AFG.

AFG have great bowling spin options with paltry batting and seam, I think in t20 and odi, if they have semi decent score to defend, their spinners will try and find a way to make it work whenever they can.
