*Official* Bangladesh Tour of West Indies (& Guyana) 2022

[Aritro]

Not too surprised at Bangladesh batting poorly despite the pitch being fairly easy.

Also no way is Shoriful fully fit, he's way down on pace.

Yeah that's a fair call, he didn't even threaten to hit 130kph most of the time and predictably got dispatched.

I hope it was just rust and he shakes it off today. He won't get anyone out bowling at that pace.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

It was unreal. Windies bats have a real chance to fill their boots today, that pitch is a dream for guys who are used to pace.

I just hope that the Bangladeshi bowlers have had a good night's sleep and are fresh and ready to chip away at our fragile batsmen.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

I don't know about anyone else, but after Bishop...Badree is great in terms of analyzing the game and giving his takes. He's old school, but with all that experience in FC cricket, he's bringing it to the test stage. A brilliant commentator!

His other profession is an English teacher in secondary school (I might be wrong here.)

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

The pitch is already misbehaving. The first ball of the day pitched on a good length and kept lower than expected. it crawled its way to the keeper.

 

[Aritro]

Good Lord, Shoriful is even slower today. These two batsmen have been amazing at manipulating the ball and stealing extra runs. It's been brilliant batting.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

100 partnership comes up, and Campbell falls immediately after.

Another start from him that isn't capitalized upon.

Good jinx lol

 

[Aritro]

Lol, what a terrible dismissal. Nice that Shoriful got a wicket for his trouble.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

These pretty 30s and 40s are not gonna cut it in test cricket for Campbell. His lack of concentration and focus is his bane of him. Sure, he can strike it at a decent rate, but at the end of the day, you gotta dig in and apply yourself. Play the ball on its merit.

Technical deficiencies.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Reifer ain't a number 3, but so far he's shown persistence.

Maybe I am viewing him through the lens of a nightwatchman.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Kraigg completes a half-century...just under 50 SR

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

A timely wicket for Bangladesh. The skipper has to go, completely deceived by Miraz

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Now Bonner is experiencing some problems against Miraz. A tricky period for him.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

And Reifer falls...Bangladesh are back in this!

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Another one bites the dust! Bonner with the inside edge. We are dropping like flies

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Nurul Hasan is quite vocal behind the stumps as Miraz comes in with his efficient Ramesh Power bowling action.

 

[Aritro]

Well, they're rather showing some fight.

I underestimated the Windies capacity to collapse due to some green shoots appearing in the previous one. I have to hand it to our bowlers, they haven't lost two sessions in a row in any of the 8 test matches we've played this year. They're not stellar but they do have it in them to fight a bit.

This Blackwood-Mayers partnership will be interesting. They'll enjoy these conditions.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Early wicket for Bangladesh and it is game on.

 

[ashley bach]

The runs are just flowing here I can't keep track, someone tell Blackwood to slow down.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

I spot a hint of reverse swing from Ebadot.
Add that to the variable bounce on offer and it then makes it much more tricky for these two batsmen.
