[AndyZaltzHair]

dropping root ****

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

bye bye jokes

 

[fredfertang]

Bairstow due a blob

 

[cnerd123]

Man would have been so good if we caught that chance off Root too...

 

[Mike5181]

Oh great catch

 

[cnerd123]

Might be good to bring Shakib back on with two right handers at the crease - also arguably the two most in form batsmen

 

[Tom Flint]

Who gets the final decision on selection/resting players. They should all be out of a job at the end of this test

yeah shakib should be on now

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

taijul bowling well though

 

[morgieb]

Imagine if they caught Root. Now him and Bairstow will probably put on 150.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

produced an edge to root and got stokes

there is a definite tactics that miraz using but he should come otw, not the right time now

Taijul is actually a quality spinner. I feel he's a bit underrated because he's yet another Bangladesh SLA bowler, and has an ugly action, but he's quite good.

Between Taijul, Shakib and Mehedi, BD have quite a spin attack. Then you got a solid top 3 in Tamim, Kayes V2.0 and Mominul. And Mushy and Shakib can still bat. And we have Fizzy.

BD maybe 1 fast bowler, and 1-2 middle order batsmen away from a proper quality team. And we've got Moses, Taskin, Sabbir, Nasir all in the frame. Very promising.

Also need to get over their inability to win crucial moments, but hopefully that happens sooner than later.

I figure Mushy wants one left armer operating to these two at all times, so Mehedi at one end and Taijul at the other, eventually swapped with Shakib and Hom when they get tired.

I'd defo try Shakib for a few overs tho. A wicket now would be huge.

 

[fredfertang]

Not expecting to see the seamer then?

Guess who forgot about the early start and wishes they hadn't bothered at all having seen the score.

Could have been worse - Root has been dropped
