Memory fade; didn't an Indian spinner take to us on that glued wicket, the same year that South Africa smashed us for fun on the same pitch.

Just checked. 6 off 77 balls.That was amazing. Broad's innings was the one that should haunt you more though. Played a 100 balls for 5 odd runs. And then got out to Kane himself

The much maligned Ian Bell batted a long time too

Didn't realise he was back, that's good to hear...

We have a spare keeper in Nurul Hasan, but not sure about spare opener for Kayes if he isn't fit.
Rest of the XI seems fine.

Mushfiqur Rahim, Bangladesh captain: I am feeling much better. Could have been worse. There is some pain, and I will get through it. Obviously disappointing to lose the Test. The bowling let us down and we had some injuries. That could not help us either. The bowling is inexperienced and hopefully they will learn quickly. Hopefully, they will get better in Christchurch. We need to create pressure from both ends with the ball. Really happy for Shakib [for breaking the record for the highest score by a Bangladesh player], this was due for him.

Would be Soumya I assume.

That really doesn't fill me with any confidence.

Yeah wouldn't be my pick at all, but that's who's in the squad.

Pick Fizzy please.
For the second Test, assuming Imrul and Mushfiqur are out:
Tamim Iqbal *
Soumya Sarkar
Mominul Haque
Mahmudullah
Shakib al Hasan
Sabbir Rahman
Nurul Hasan +
Mehedi Hasan Miraz
Taskin Ahmed
Taijul Islam
Kamran Islam Rabbi/Subashis Roy
Soumya as third seamer, add Taijul to ease Shakib's load?

Soumya is not good enough to be a third seamer in Tests.
I think I'd stick with 3 quicks and just bowl Mahmadullah/Mominul more if Shakib needed a break.
Fizzy/Taskin/Kamrul (bowled better than Roy) as the pacers. Basically keep the same XI except Nurul in for Mushy and probably Soumya in for Kayes.
Wouldn't be against dropping Mahmadullah for Moses too.

State Captain
Yes I was obviously referring to his captaincy. Basically the order of the day in the BC's first innings was to stay patient and grind out as many runs as they needed to make the game safeish, rather than trying to force the issue/declaring behind or all that sort of nonsense. And they still scored at a very healthy lick at the same time anyway. And then get Bangladesh into a situation where they had nothing much to gain from their 3rd innings other than survival, and they were then eaten alive. Call it conservative/defensive/whatever. I call it smart and playing the odds in front of you. And then of course leading from the front with the bat and siezing the game by the scruff of the neck when the chance came to do so. I call that ruthless. Yes the lad has lots still to learn. But I like his style. He gave them nothing. And then they wilted.
