*Official* Bangladesh in South Africa 2022

Maharaj batting improvements is quite noticeable. Still the aggressive batsmen but much better shot selection and execution.

this is already too much

Yeah definitely. Bowling has been all over the place, but this pair have done very well.

 

[Aritro]

Fantastic ball from Taijul. He's gone up a level in recent times I think. Looked much improved when we played Pakistan.

 

[Heboric]

In an odd way SA would like to see that kind of turn now

 

[andruid]

What's the highest aggregate scoring test match without a centurion?

 

[Aritro]

If we can make them bat again with the pitch offering this much turn, it'll be a miracle.

 

[Aritro]

You've gotta hand it to Taijul. Getting killed with an ice pick would have ended most careers, but he's come back and taken five wickets in a test outside Asia.

Is he bowling with a little more guile now? Last time I saw a spell of his (on a youtube stream in Bang admittedly) he was like the leftie version of Lyon, accurate and persistent but the same thing over after over with no variation.

I think so. That assessment was based on how well he bowled on a pitch that offered nothing in one of the Pakistan tests.

Watching Lizaad bat in glasses is such a throwback

taijul looks like he goes clubbing

dj khaled seems a solid medium pacer tbh and im surprised he was down the list. i guess his fc record doesn't scream pick me.

 

[Marius]

Time to declare.

Looks like 524 by India but SA got 517 once with no hundreds.

Highest Test totals without a century and half-century

Test match is a game of partnerships. There is no restriction of the number of overs; all the batsmen have their own time to score at their will. It is not often we see a one man’s show in a Test inning like in the limited over games.

FFS didn't need to play at that Joy

*Ice axe. An ice pick is what you do lobotomies with.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

A big partnership would be great for Bangladesh here

Maybe you do. And tbh, I don't think it's called a lobotomy when the "patient" doesn't know it's coming.

 

[Aritro]

To be fair, I did always think an ice pick was a puzzlingly impractical weapon to kill him with

You were close:

A mountaineering ice axe has a narrow end, called the pick, and a flat wide end called the adze.
