South Africa V Bangladesh 1st Test @ Potchefstroom Match Thread Date: 28th Of September 2017 6:00 AEST

[Gowza]

Mominul scoring loads on the legside

[Gowza]

Morkel bowling well

[Gowza]

Mushy looking up to it so far

[Gowza]

Spin on now, mominul time to settle in and score

[tiger1000]

God maharaj will take mominul

[One World]

And after multiple decades of watching cricket some Jhanu spectators think BD can bounce back from following on in alien conditions.

Already 2 down with such a strong batting line up and you can count Tamim's as a walking wicket.

Only thing I can hope that avoid innings defeat, I guess that was the contingency plan of the captain which is always like that.

Mediocrity written all over this approach.

[Gowza]

Another legside run for mini

[Gowza]

Gosh mushy nearly unstuck by that ball, horrible play

[Gowza]

Olivier spraying a bit, doesn't have control yet

[Gowza]

Good leaving from mini

[Gowza]

Olivier finding his line better but another good leave

[Gowza]

Wow mominul's wrists, twisted that one around from outside off

[RealSports]

Everyone including the players know that Bangladesh stands no chance in this test series. They should make this opportunity count as it's rare for Bangladesh to play over there, and could make them better players in future. The experience there counts. I'm only glancing at the scorecard. Will be watching the ODI series for sure since Bangladesh stands a far better chance.

So is Shakib out for the whole series or just the test?

Agree, that is the only silverlining in this test match. In terms of gaining experience, you can exclude now Imrul (below standard), Mushfiqur (he decided not to learn any more), Tamim (well experienced), Mullah (incorrigible).

So, opportunity for Liton (wasted good start), Soummya, Shabbir and Mominul (doing well so far).

[DinRaat.]

Nice shot from Mushfiqur.

[Gowza]

Mushy nearly out again

[nsuRocks]

mushfiq living through the slip cordon

[DinRaat.]

We should be thankful, that Mushfiqur decided to bowl on a flat track against SA, if he did this in Perth at the WACA against Australia, our test status would be under scrutiny.

[Gowza]

Mushy is motoring along

It would actually be nice to see such pitches for Bangladesh to play on. Like I said, it will just make the players even better players later on. They've been playing too much on flat/spin/slow tracks for most of their careers.
