Match Thread: Bangladesh vs Australia- 1st Test at SBNS, Dhaka; August 27-31, 2017

What happened to Mohammed Shahid, he could be better than shafiul

Nasir should stay but soumya, Kayes or Shabbir - - 2should be out. Mominul liton should come in

Those were great catches. Unfortunately, players don't stay in the Test team for being a "specialist fielder." He will have to bat well if he wants to shut up the naysayers.

We won because of a mammoth effort frm Shakib. We are still the inferior test team and changes have to be made. My suggestions:

Tamim
SS
Momin
Mushy
Shakib
Liton (wk)
Miraz
Nasir
Taijul
Roy
Fizz

There's also a very good chance the next match will be washed out. In which case, I don't mind trying Nurul for WK, Shanto in, with Liton opening. Team would be:

Tamim
Liton
Mushy
Shanto
Shakib
Nasir
Miraz
Nurul
Taijul
Roy
Fizz

Allhamdullilah I think many of us all needed this Test win to forget some really close ones! Some close matches really have been on my mind.

- I was really down when Paks beat us in Multan
- Was really gutted we had Australia on the ropes but they won at the end
- Bit let down that we didnt win the first Test match against England recently

Alhamdulillah.

Great achievement

Want to really hear what Chowdhury Jafar Ullah Sharafat has to say about this.

He may be an involuntary comedian and comments make people cringe, but the pride in which way he describes Bangladesh's win are gold!

[R0ssei]

I can't help myself quoting one of the Prothom-Alo comments:
"আকাশেতে লক্ষ তারা, চাঁদ কিন্তু একটারে!! ইয়াহ..." #Shakib

Congratulation #BDtigers for the historic win. Special thanks to Shakib, Tamim, Mehedi, Taijul, Soumya (for his brilliant catches) and Mushfiq (for his improved captaincy). Grateful to the Almighty for not pouring down on game days.

In Eastern Canada, the game starts at midnight and goes on till 7 am right when you sleep. So, I only kept awake on the 4th day to experience this win and I'm so grateful for doing so.

Hopefully we will go for 2-0 in Chittagong with some changes. Meanwhile, it's celebration time as @mashrafebd said:

What a win!
#Shakib &
#tamim were phenomenal! Special thanks to the crowds. BTW, Celebration is going on! 😉

Posted this in the middle of the first session today. Glad to say that I was part of this thread and it's history.

Thank you Kalpurush brother for creating another one of your special match threads

[adamnsu]

Is it possible to draft Mahamdullah back in the squad or is it too late?

[Zeeshan]

That's some serious aggression therapy R0ssei.

Nasir/Sabir/SS out Liton in. : Nassir out but Shabbir and Sarkar in. I think Shabbir and Nasir's role are the same but Shabbir is slighlty better. Sarkar still needs to be in as he can bat and is a decent fielder

Surely mossadek should be picked - eye injury should have healed by now.

An India vs BD instead of playing SL would have been much more exciting to watch at least from a fan's point of view, I watched bits and pieces of the recent series, never been this bored in my life.

[Match Adda]

I think all the players will have most fantastic qurbani eid ever ... plus they r getting 2 core bonus....for us as a fan , will enjoy the every moment in this eid ...

Note that the key players except the captain were not interested in "banging".

- Mushy genuinely was trying to break the stump
- Mehedi hits like a girl
- Walsh singing in Bangla?

I think they weren't happy with the dressing room sitting cushion aka the "godi". Hence this aggression or the childlike celebration.

I don't think haturi will call him back , specially after this famous win... now he's a untouchable man to Bcb .... somaya and sabbir r lucky man... this win will give them another or few opportunities because they r friend of haturi

I saw a photo of Tamim being the mediator in an argument between Warner and Sabbir.

Alhamdulillahi Rabbil 'Alamin for this wonderful victory. Thank you AUS for finally playing us at home. Congrats to the BD team, all the BD fans and all the well-wishers of our team.

Seems like the only thing Sabbir is useful for is getting into fights with opposition players

Seriously. That and running out his partners. Dude needs to drink some Oscar and calm down.
