1 thing that can concerns me is the lack of big innings by any teams. Only CTG looks like they'll cross the 400 barrier.
Also besides a few standout players, just not enough big scores from the individual batsmen. A lot of their batsmen did not even get starts which is a concern. The spinners obviously did well and the pacers were pretty good as well.
Now moving to the individuals. I had a feeling Tamim would go off today but was concerned that he would take this league too lightly and then get out. Happy to see that didn't happen and now should be looking for a double hundred. Even though these are domestic bowlers, it's important that Tamim has the longer version mindset and doesn't get out after throwing away a start against WI.
Day by day Mominul looks to be getting closer for a national team call up. He looks more ready then the fellow youngster Anamul and is the most deserving uncapped player. Lets hope he continues on and beats out his previous score of 150.
Naeem once again has proven why he's regarded as 1 of the best FC batsmen in BD. Unlike his compatriots, he shows the necessary patience in order to play a long innings. He should be able to retain his spot in the Test team after good performances. Now he needs to focus on that hundred and continue on from there.
Finally, Soumya has proved himself once again. The way he can attack the bowling is impressive and should be one of the leaders once again in the NCL.
Lets see what day 2 has in store for us
