Soumya Sarkar should not be opening in Test cricket.

Did not expect Naeem Hasan to be playing.

 

[jimmy101]

^ Agreed.

 

[Starfighter]

Ouch, that's a bad drop.

Man it's a shame the "Fizz is a spinner" meme has died or we could all have a laugh at how Bangladesh picked five frontline spinners and no seamers for this game.

What the **** happened to Mosaddek and why does he not play tests?

 

[Starfighter]

Seems to be some contact going on out there,

Since the Asia Cup he has a HS of 29 from 7 FC innings. Highest of 33* if you include the warmups Vs Zimbabwe

Cricketers getting aggressive and macho and trying to turn this into a contact sport are absolutely the worst

1: how does a left arm spinner bowl a no-ball like that?
2: HTF does the standing umpire miss it? They should seriously just admit that they don't bother.

 

[cnerd123]

They actually don't bother with front foot noballs to my knowledge. I hear the ICC has asked umpires in televised games to focus on stuff like catches and LBWs first. If that means they cannot eye the crease as the bowler runs in, so be it. All wickets can be checked for the no ball, and at this level it's not the umpire's job to help bowlers figure out where the line is. So that's why front foot noball calling is kinda patchy at this level.

But the Aussies keep shifting it....

 

[StephenZA]

I woke up this morning sat down started watching, and it took until I finished my coffee to figure out it WI against Bang not Zim.

 

[Starfighter]

There goes another catch.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Mominul

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Well done Mominul, In a pretty good position here are Bangladesh with so much batting to come.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

I evened the game up opening my big gob.

 

[Starfighter]

The West Indies get a review right. It'll be interesting to see if they can pull it back and keep Bang under 300.

 

[trundler]

Well holy ****. Did not see that coming. Great review.

 

[mr_mister]

Mominul is an ATG

 

[mr_mister]

Gabriel is also an ATG
