Am I the only one upset that we're down eight wickets with only 365 runs on the board despite a placid pitch? To be sure, Abul has saved us from an even greater humiliation, but this will still be a humiliating defeat in the end. The way the pitch is playing, Windies will rack up 600-odd runs, declare and bowl us out under 200 in the 2nd innings.

I don't get it given how slow and low and dry the wicket is, should't it provide turn for our bowlers anyway?

Came across this when Abul came to the crease, he is definetely in starting 11 for the next few years now

This ultra defensive tamim is a bullshit version of his usual self!
we must slap d critics who force him to be "ultra" defensive. that is not his game by any means!

this sort of Tamim can hardly fetch u a few 30s/40s every 3rd or 4th innings. his chances wud multiply only when he goes after d bowling like he usually does.

until it is extremely essential (as per match situation), he mustn't lose his flare by being "wise"!

It certainly looked as if everyone had enjoyed his innings. Chris Gayle wanted to know where his bat came from. "It's an English willow, Tamim bhai [Iqbal] got it for me," a bewildered Abul told the media at the press conference, also his first one of this scale. The feat had yet to sink in for the 20-year-old, barely an hour after the day's play.

"I just wanted to bat like a batsman, that's all. [Mahmudullah] Riyad bhai just told me to bat like a batsman," he said. "When I played Under-15 cricket, I was a batsman, then I became a pace bowler."

And his mantra with the bat was simple: "I just wanted to survive the good ball, and take advantage of the bad ball."

Why batting can seem so difficult for our batsmen???? according to Abul, it is so simple, just survive the good balls and punish the bad ones!

Ryiad is consistent in this series . He is playing long innings with the tail-enders. He is playing like a captain . If he continues like this, he will be captain very soon and he should bat at no. 3 .

Reggie Duff was the #10 who scored 104 from 206 balls in 1902. He did not bowl in that match. I loved watching Abul and Riyad's session. Riyad is truly a nurturer of his partners.

That means he will likely be a great father, great husbend

It does appear so... doesn't test cricket come to its glory when the players are true to their own nature?

raad007 · #**1535** November 21, 2012, 03:07 PM

Went to sleep after Shakib got out and wake up in the morning to see this! Amazing batting from Abul and support from Mahmudullah.

zsayeed · #**1536** November 21, 2012, 03:43 PM

Read the fine print on the last guy on debut in 1902..."who was actually a frontline batsman who was held back due to a sticky wicket at the MCG."

zsayeed · #**1537** November 21, 2012, 03:46 PM

That's why I din't see Tino Beast in the bowling in the last session, just read that he was hamstringed. Shameem talks so much and couldn't relay this.

Rommel · #**1538** November 21, 2012, 03:56 PM

Damn, really sad that I missed Abul's innings. I watched up until Tea. Does anyone have highlights of the 3rd session?

You're not the only one and yes, what you're predicting here is probably what will happen. Unless we make 500+ (unlikely), this Test will be lost badly.

I dont think so.... he will be more like, son you change my diaper while I sleep... (** just a joke btw based on his batting with the tail; I am sure he will make a great parent)

on the other hand WI looked really flat and defensive.
if we were not generously giving away our wickets we could have managed atleast a 420+
I really dont see any real threat in their bowling attack excpt Rampaul.
I know its a batting pitch but the WI bowlers lack the ability to make the pitch talk.

True fans stay up and true fans get to watch the real ****. Suck it rest of you.

It was worth it. I SPECIALLY started to watch it when Gazi got out. I didn't watch a ball since lunch until Abul walked out. IDK why...

Dilscoop · #**1547** November 21, 2012, 05:26 PM

Can this be count for the last inning in Dhaka? Please? Thanks.

Rommel · #**1548** November 21, 2012, 05:27 PM

I mean, to be honest, I don't think this match is lost at all. Even if we crumble tomorrow and finish at 375 or so, that's still a pretty decent total. It will take a solid batting performance for WI to put up 400, definitely no walk in the park. Remember, we got them all out for 273 in the second innings of the Dhaka Test. They may be the superior side but they definitely are nothing close to a top side. Put a little pressure on them (early wickets) and there's a pretty decent chance they'll collapse like a deck of cards.

Most importantly, this match has now turned competitive. WI has not been given the match, they will have to go out and perform solidly to win. And from where we were at (193/8), what more could we ask for?

I dont think it would be the case. This wicket will become more slow and low from day 3 i believe. So if Sakib & gazi can capitalise then windies will be in trouble. We will probably lose but not badly.
