Damn this thread is quieter than the Sylhet stadium right now. Bangladesh always find new ways to lose lmao. In NZ they lost after scoring 600 in the first innings. And here they will lose after having the opposition at 50 for 5 on the first morning. And not lost by 50 or even 100 runs but by 400+ N...

SLcricfan, how are you feeling watching that innings. 126-6 to 400+. two guys scored all the runs in both innings. For a BD fan it was painful watching. However, the pitch really looks dead now. No turn and not really any seam movement either. That green live grass from the first two days seems to b...

the bd test side is incredibly inexperienced

Thats no excuse. Wasn't an excuse vs New Zealand in Mirpur a few months back or against India in Mirpur a year ago.

I just don't understand what ireland's political approach have to do with likening their cricket team lol. Could've just said something positive about their cricket as a justification rather. Irish cricket has been a bit inconsistent lately. They did get a convincing away Test win vs Afghanistan wh...

Given the scores so far and the pitch behavior, SL likely already have a big enough lead to clinch the Test.

That being said, theres no better time to chase 300 in the 4th innings than now.

Like every single one of kriterion's posts, he had me till the last paragraph

Isn’t the socialist haven of Canada a relatively poor fit? I’d have thought Wyoming or Mississippi would be a more natural match.

What we seem to forget Kriterion is that teams like Kenya have made a WC Semi Final and have beaten the likes of India, Sri Lanka and West Indies in internationals including World Cups. Zimbabwe also almost made the semi finals in 1999 WC and had beaten the likes of India, South Africa, Australia a...

Yeah that's a good post. I agree. If we look at it, Ireland and Afghanistan have barely done anything to justify their test status. Which is why I never compare Zimbabwe with these two, because Zimbabwe have done a bloody good job as a test playing nation over the last 30+ years. Something which Ir...
