Taskin in Test. NO! BIG No!

Roy should have played first test.

Fizz is class. Don’t write him off so quickly! His fitness and sharpness is coming back slowly. Give him time.

SA enjoying the flatness of the surface.. wicket will open up soon as days progress.

Saw Taijul get some slight turn.. maybe Maharaj will bowl well later on.

The pitch was flat when Bangladesh batted their first innings on the first test. They didn't score enough runs. This pitch is flat as well. It is a bit faster than Potchefstroom, nothing more than that. The same can be said of Kimberley. Now a days when most matches are being played on flatter surfaces, Bangladesh haven't scored enough 300 plus runs in limited overs. There is a lot to work with the batting.

It's quite evident from ur post that u don't know how to refute someone's post which is why u resorted to childish name calling.

Dont worry, I rwon't stoop down to ur level and start insulting u personally.

You have been showing your true colors for quite a while. It is now getting extremely annoying.

I am unhappy with the mods for letting guys like you to ruin this forum. They are really very little involved these days to keep the forum in shape.

We batted when there was big score on the board. The wicket got better for bowlers when we batted our first innings, even though it was still flat in nature. Not to forget Tamim didn’t open. And Liton had to open after keeping for God knows how many overs. Simply everything was a mess when we came out to bat. Pressure. They took advantage of those.

Things would have been different had we batted first. Not saying we would have drawn or won, but at least some solid centuries from our batsman.

Declaration 573, 100 hundred extra runs should not hurt.

So, someone who calls spade a spade and makes constructive criticism based on actual fact is ruining the forum but someone who insults other forum members by calling all sorts of name is making the forum a great place to talk avout cricket.

Glad to know that

Kagiso time!

[aklemalp]

Faf wasn't playing for 150, even deny QDK a milestone.

Faf putting team first.

[DinRaat.]

We will survive 5 overs max, before losing a wicket.

Attack from round the wicket Kagiso

Wouldn't have made any difference what so ever.

In CTG our batters merely managed to get past 300 in the first innings against C grade Australian attack and got bowled out within 150 in the second innings on a belter of a wicket and u expect the same bunch to play well against southafrican bowler's in their own backyard?

Do u really believe that our poor batters with even poorer techniques would have survived against the likes of rabada and morkel in the morning session if we were asked to bat first?

Well considering morkel isn't playing, it's fair to say you don't actually watch any of the matches

[aklemalp]

Come on Kagiso!

[Roey Haque]

This Olivier boy bowls like Wasim.

[Roey Haque]

Soumya is jarred. Seems he is no match for Rabada's bounce. A shame.

Honesty is always appreciated. This is a precious asset. Unfortunately I didn't see that precious thing in your writting. You remain silent when our team plays well, our boys achieve some milestones to be proud off. But whenever our team does bad, you become vocal and start critising in a derogatory manner.

Any Bangladeshi would feel proud off our national achieve. Pride about BD team is what is missing in your post. But you show pride in Team India.

When we won the test in SL again them you were missing. When Fizz broke them, you were missing.

Be honest friend. It will not hurt you.

[WarWolf]

The start of a collapse?

"Sarkar has been bowled around the legs".

[Tigers_eye]

What a player!!

[Roey Haque]

^Right. Bring on the ODIs. Drop Rahim. Go Bangladesh.
