Official* Bangladesh tour of Sri Lanka 2025

[Silver Silva]

We need a wicket desperately, both bats set for big hundreds

Mushfiqur always turns up against us. I don't think he's this consistent against any other team.

Good partnership this. But everything can go horribly wrong if a wicket falls

Yeah can never relax during even a good Bangladesh innings. Anyway, I've been thinking sarcastic thoughts about how Shanto fills his boots on low-difficulty decks and proceeds to fail for a year afterwards and how Mushfiq has become the same. But realistically we've also very regularly collapsed on low-difficulty decks in the last two years so it's probably best to be grateful.

I think a better team would probably be scoring faster though.

Oh this is getting dangerous , feel our attack is a bit one dimensional..When are we going to try a genuine all rounder in Tests ..

 

[SeamUp]

Quality recovery this.

 

[Thala_0710]

Quality quality innings by Rahim this... In this bad pitch, but has looked good from the get go. Really positive and used his feet well too

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Galle is like home for Mushfiq

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

prabath looking dangerous with new ball

DDS to come handy in second innings but I feel he underused himself in this innings

Home of Bangladesh’s first test centurion

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Wow. Great from Bangladesh. Why is Mathews playing?

 

[Bahseph]

Any details on the new spinner? Why was he spamming overs when Prabath exists?

Final Test match , retiring after this one

 

[Aritro]

They've done very well to survive the new ball. Lanka have produced a lot of close calls with it.

I take back my comment about the run rate above. Its a slow outfield where you don't get much joy for your strokes.

Amazing day for Bangladesh. We've struggled to make 200 on a lot of decks like this.

Only Younis Khan , Sachin Tendulkar, Inzamam Ul Haq, Rahul Dravid and Kane Williamson have more Test runs v Sri Lanka than Rahim

He should easily be top 3 by the end of this series

Amazing

 

[Himannv]

DDS needs to rotate the bowlers more. He needs to give the quicks a few more overs and he has to bowl himself a lot more. Also, it might be worth giving Mathews a few overs in his last game and maybe even throw the ball to Kamindu for a few. Change it up a bit.
