*Official* Bangladesh in India 2019

[ataraxia]

Yeah and a bowling attack of people not playing this match is still Hardik, Bhuvi, Bumrah, Kuldeep, Nadeem. Very strong.

Good noisy crowd in Indore. Nice to see in an Indian Test venue with good atmosphere after a while.

Nice.

Where is Ashwin?

Bangladesh cricket has come so far, yet has so far to go.

With the generation of Mortaza/Shakib/Rahim/Tamim/Mahmadullah winding up, it's time to find a new senior core to BD through the next decade.

Shakib and Mushfiq are 32. Tamim is 30 (at least officially, looks 35). They aren't done any time soon.

Jaddu's bowling has lost a bit of its bite of late. Seems to be darting them through a bit and not getting his bowling arm as high as he used to.

Was about to post the same. You beat me to it.

Reckon they've all got just 2-3 years left. They've had long careers, that takes it's toll on body and mind. I think the 2023 WC is going to be their last, and I won't be surprised if any of them give up red-ball cricket before then.

I feel like I've created a bit of a Tushar Imran meme. I love it. Tushar FTW.

There are still definitely a few batsmen I'd pick ahead of him ftr; it's just that only four of them are actually playing in this a match they have selected seven batsmen in.

Mushfiqur, Mominmul and I'm guessing Mahmudullah and Liton Das?

 

[vcs]

Liton is quite a talent, hope he can do justice to it. Is he a very good keeper, or more of a batsman who also keeps?

 

[vcs]

Ashwin's been unlucky in this match. Four dropped catches in the first innings and now a bad decision by the umpire with no reviews left.

 

[Tom Flint]

Mushy is a good contender for the best keeper bat. Made quite a few tons now and his keeping is very good. Hopefully the tail can stick around now and give him a chance of making another one

 

[Tom Flint]

Lol his not even keeping. Wtf I didn't even know that

 

[cnerd123]

Liton's a better keeper than Mushy I reckon.

 

[Tom Flint]

Does mushfiqur's batting average improve when he hasn't got the gloves

 

[Pup Clarke]

A match between this current India test side and an Australia XI from late 90s/early 00s would be so tasty

Hypothetical if all are fit (INDIA) : Agarwal, Rohit, Pujara, Kohli, Rahane, Jadeja, Saha, Ashwin, Umesh, Shami, Bumrah 12th man : Ishant
(AUS) : Hayden, Langer, Ponting, M Waugh, S Waugh, Martyn, Gilchrist, Warne, Gillespie, Lee, McGrath 12th man : MacGill

Reminds me of Cook in his last ashes

Shami has been averaging 23 odd the last 5 years. Apart from one year(2014) when he averaged 46,he has averaged sub 27 every year since his debut in 2013.
