This test match was an attempt by both sides to demonstrate that they are the most incompetent cricketers on the planet. Well done to Zimbabwe! They won this contest fair and square.

Didn't get to follow this match other than watching the highlights. Test match is all about batting and looks like we are going from bad to worse. With this type of batting display, we have tough days ahead.
For real team motivation we need matches where we dominate with batting. We shouldn't give excuse of "Zim also struggled..."; we are the host and should be very familiar with the conditions. Getting ducks in a row is not acceptable.
Reading the comms, it seems all we know is how to hit few 4s or just block (and of course get out). No real example of strike rotation with singles. If we can't bat comfortably with singles in our home ground, then that's a real bad state of our batting.
This win doesn't feel like a win. We are at such a bad state, that unfortunately, we will have to celebrate this one by jumping up and down
Beggars can't be choosers.

I cannot celebrate this win. I am mighty glad that we were the last team standing, but what an incompetent batting display!

Now sure horror show ended. 2nd innings BD batting can compete with any holywood horror show and will probably come out on top.

It's tough to celebrate after such a shambolic batting display. It is a miracle that these BEAKKOLs managed to sneak a win.

I for one very happy to see a win. It's not a revelation to me what a bad group of chokers we have. But a win always helps things to improve.

amader to abar ektu rong dhonga Bradman 300 baa Lara 400 na hole chole na bhais. Bujhlen na.
I absolutely enjoyed it. The pitch was horrible to bat on and it resulted in a thriller. What else do you guys want? Oh they are gonna come and be spoonfed with runs?
Cricket is about entertainment and this game entertained me to the highest level thoroughly. Rest of you go can just take the snootiness somewhere else.
Haire bangali.

If you didn't follow the match live then you don't know what you missed out. Stats and post match report tells only half the story.

A win is a win and i will take that. But, we tried our best to lose this one -thankfully unsuccessfully.
The dismissals of Tamim-Buka, Momin, Shakib, Riyad and Hom were painful and pathetic.

No pain... no gain for the fans. That's why quality wise it was so bad, but still it was so fun for the fan. After wining the game it looked like we just conquered Mt Everest. It was full of suspense.... looked like we are about to choke, but at then end we did it....no 5 day shomman jonok draw.... the movie didn't dragged for 5 days.... it ended within 2/5 days and it was full of thrill.

Lol....we could have lost that in 2.5 days, too.
Chasing a target of 100 and losing your top order with DUCK on the board is nothing to be happy about. You may celebrate all you want. You are even allowed to jump off the bridge in your unrestrained and wild celebration.

yes it was a pathetic batting display
yes we almost choked chasing 100 runs
but what really matters is we can now reverse the momentum/curse of 2014 that seems to have stolen so many games that we should have won. Winning stops the downward spiral and hopefully, brings an end to this madness we call batting. Hopefully through this series we get back on track.
