but hey, at least they fought a bit today (thanks to Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizan), much better performance as compared to the previous three days of the test.
It was good to see Pakistan fight back and delaying the inevitable defeat by Babar and Rizan and of Pakistan need to win matches the bowlers need to perform well rather than giving away runs and the only time they get wicket is when the opposition batsman looses concentration or by luck.

PCB needs to bring in some changes - Mohammad Abbas in the place of Imran Khan Jr. and Abid Ali instead of Haris Sohail. Then we may get to see a bit of competition.
Is this Imran Khan jr the son of former Pakistani captain ?

England will be looking to stay in the crease as long as possible and New Zealand needs to pick some wickets, interesting match is going on right now.

They need 16 more with 2 wickets in hand. It is still going to be tough, given the form of the Australian bowlers. Yasir Shah just got out, and he was the last hope for Pakistan. Shaheen Shah Afridi is at the crease with Imran Khan and they should get another 15-20 runs and avoid the follow on. At least it will be a consolation if they could avoid the follow on.
Its all over for Pakistan. They lost by an innings and 5 runs and were completely outclassed in every department by a formidable Australian team. Starc and Hazlewood rose to the occasion once again as expected.

This is a horrible year for Pakistan and this series will probably end in a whitewash by the Australians. Pakistan can still end this one in a draw if they manage to bowl extremely well though.

This result was well-expected, but hey, at least they fought a bit today (thanks to Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizan), much better performance as compared to the previous three days of the test.

If you look at the team composition you would understand that the series would have been single handed as India is having a really strong team and the bowling department is world class and could trouble any team in the world and when you look at the Bangladesh batting line up you cannot find any quality batsman and when that happens you cannot expect any competition and that is what we witnessed, complete domination and finishing the match within 3 to 4 days.
Yeah it was a complete one sided test match. Teams like Australia, India, England, South Africa, Newzealand have already took them on different level but in comparison with Bangladesh their bowling department is slightly accepted but batting department is completely inexperienced for test cricket. Its already proven that they have lack of knowledge and maturity for test cricket. Although i am not a test cricket lover but there was an excitement due to pink ball day night match but it was totally a bad experience. It was look like Indian bowlers were net practicing for wickets. Hopefully supporters who purchased tickets for 4th and 5th day are spending bad time rather than me.

I didn't really expect Bangladesh to lose both the match with this big difference. India won the matches, it's normal but performance of Bangladesh was very much poor. Is it the affect of Shakib? Some things might be different but not much.

I expected NZ to play well but not this good Tongue Let's see how it goes on Day 5, there is still a chance for ENG to fight for a draw  Tongue
After a good ashes I was expecting England to continue going with lucks but it never happened lol
NZ were too cruel to the English.
Now may be again Stokes can come as their saviour?

The fast bowlers were really brutal as two of the Bangladesh players are injured Liton Das in the first innings and Mahmudullah in the second innings and this is the first time i am seeing the fast bowlers dominating in Indian pitches and the spinners does not have any role in the entire match and the day night match was interesting and hopefully we will see more matches like this in the future.

Another test match is coming to the end of India vs Bangladesh as Bangladesh trail by 57 runs and only 2 wickets remaining. This means high chances that Indi will win the match by innings and few runs. This is not the ideal start Bangladesh would have wanted after losing in T20 series.


One wicket away i suppose. one guy is retired hurt.

Edit : Well yeah, its official India won.

Both Umesh yadav and Ishant Sharma has bowled well and took 8 and 9 wickets in total match respectively. Ishant was named as the Player of the match and it has been all round performance as batsman played so well that they did not had to bat in second innings only.

An utter waste of time watching the test series between India and Bangladesh. Wiped out with  even getting a second chance. Bangladesh team has to tremendously work hard to survive test cricket in the future. What a waste of resources and money by the Bangladesh team.
Calm down :-D
I do not think it was a waste of time and money or resources. Every international match makes money even if it washed out. Yes Bangladesh team performed bad but that does not mean that they are such bad team.

Thing is that India is so high in confidence and performance that team like Bangladesh really needed more strength to give a fight against them.

I have not watched the match but looking at the score board and players performance I can tell that India is playing outstanding cricket. So does Australia.

Bangladesh Test team really needs a re-frame I guess. If I am not wrong then before this India series they lost against Afghanistan in the only Test in their ground. Then this disaster in this India series. Is this a two Test series?

New Zealand needs another 7 more wickets to win the match, Santner is bowling really well and took three wickets and i wish he will take a 5 wicket haul here and since he scored a century it will be a good double and i will win the bet  Wink Cheesy.
I will win the bet too along with you if that happens. I am impressed with Santner in this match. A century and several big wickets on top of that made me understand that he is one of the vital parts of this New Zealand squad.

If NZ somehow manage to remove Stokes and Denly early, we will most likely win our bets. If not, this could end in a draw and Akhjob will win. Lets see what happens.
I just checked with my calculation and if New Zealand wins then this (roughly) is what you guys will get in return(fees could be a bit high or low):

Code:
JSRAW 	0.00010000		16.66666667	0.00033258
SaShiRaJaVu 0.00040000 66.66666667 0.00133031
Haunebu 0.00010000 16.66666667 0.00033258

For each reform every one needs to be on the same page otherwise ICC would collapse, then we might witness another "Kerry Packer" coming from the dead and taking control of World cricket.
It is a possibility that we could see another parallel league starting up like Kerry Packer or the ICL even before the IPL but the ICC has the authority to ban the players playing those tournaments and will put pressure like they did but because there are many cricket leagues around the world for T20 it is a possibility but the ICC and the other cricket boards will kill them as they have complete control over the players as they will never play another international match if they go against them nor they will receive any pension, so none of the players will dare to go against the board.

In current system small leagues are not danger anymore but ally for any cricket board and ICC. dynamic has changed in World Cricket when we look at financial set-up, But Imagine any board going against the ICC and What if that board is BCCI?

Mohammad Rizwan missed his opportunity to score a century by 5 runs and Pakistan lost the match by an innings and 5 runs. If the Pakistan top order can find form then they will have a competitive match, if not the entire series will be one sided and the match will within four days, Australia found a young talent in Marnus Labuschagne and he can bowl some good leg spin too.

Pakistan  is about to lose the match as they are still 56 runs behind and 4 wickets left. So only thing it is would interesting is that can they make more than 56 runs which will means that OZ has to bat in their second innings or will OZ wrap up by an innings and few runs to win this test match.
