It is team Bangladesh. After losing all their wickets for just 87 runs in the first innings, they started batting in the second innings today. They lost 4 wickets in just 25 runs. With such a weak team and weak batting lineup, it would have been better not to play a Test series against a strong team like Pakistan. Bangladesh should have played T20 and ODI series against Pakisthan. Then they could fight a little.

Shakib Al Hasan gets his 26th test fifty, when Bangladesh required him most. A superb innings that gives Bangladesh hope still alive. Yet 20 overs far away they need to survive in order to draw the match. Bangladesh team so much dependent on few senior players, and all through the series the vast majority of their senior players were absent. The outcome could be different if they could played. Bangladesh are passing a very crucial time, and need to prior attention.

England have been bundled out for only 147 runs with pat cummings taking a 5 wicket haul. Again england batting has been exposed infront of quality bowlers. When joe root got out for a duck I knew from that moment that England will not even reach 200 but they not even reached 150. Already looking like a easy win for Australia In the first match of the ashes unless we see some thing extra ordinary from England .

@JSRAW now England are 107 down for 5 wickets, and Stokes too is back in the pavilion but it looks like Pope and Buttler are trying to score some runs and get England back in the game. Also if this is the trailer for the series then it looks like Australia will be winning the series easily, and I’m kinda disappointed because of the way England player’s gave up their wickets.

Poor display of batting but you have to appreciate the fact that Poms are excellent at 5D Chess, so far they successfully denied the 400th test wicket to Bald Lyon. He was at 399 wicket last year but still waiting for his 400th scalp.
------
Meanwhile Bangbros are $ucked up royally. They had to score 110-ish runs to avoid follow on but lol

Edit

2 different matches and we are witnessing epic collapse every where. Hope Indian fans now realize that why we need more Pujara-Vihari kind of players in the Test cricket.

And here we go again... 20/3

England top order doing what they do best, get the hell out from the pitch asap but this time no heroic inning from the poor Rooty. Terrible start for the English, now all eyes on Stokes.

Warne is Aussie version of Sanju Manju. Grin

There could have been worse for Bangladesh than losing seven wickets for 76 runs. Bangladesh is no stranger being embarrassment, they undergo this as part of their normal routine. The quick dismissal raises the question of whether Bangladeshi batters care about anything? How long they have been expressing their novice attitude on the international stage. It's no wonder they come with the same excuse packs again because they have bundle packs of excuses. Things are weird with this Bangladeshi squad, and nothing can fix it.

After watching today play I am feeling there is something happening in Bangladesh cricket, and they want to live like Zimbabwe without test status because they are doing very poor and giving wickets like this is matter of shame for them now just weather can give them some relief otherwise they have done enough for their own defeat from nowhere.

Wicket is dead and have nothing for bowlers but their style of giving wickets is matter of worry about management because they are going down deep with this way and surely ICC need to have some check case for this all with these type results surely can decrease some reputation of test cricket.

Shakib and BCB issue is also now having again headache for them, and it's need some quick work for settlement.

In second test between Bangladesh vs Pakistan it's already going for draw with after end of 3rd day play Pakistan 188/2 so in just 2 days having any result is not possible, so a test series win for Pakistan with some good points in WTC table.

Maybe Bangladeshi players trying to turn the impossible result into possible with their poor performance Cheesy

. Pakistan declared their first innings after collecting 300 runs by losing 4 wickets. Bangladesh have already lost 7 wickets and collected 76 runs till now. Day 4 has ended, Bangladeshi batting lineup will survive as long as Shakib Al Hasan isn't getting out. And they will loss the game if they perform in the same way during second innings. In that case, Pakistan will win the series by 2-0.

I think that even Bangladeshi players should be disappointed with their performance, because they cannot be scoring 76 runs for 7 wickets where in the same pitch Pakistan scored 300 runs for only four wickets. I know that maybe they are doing their best and trying to prove themselves but if this is the example of the best you have,, Tongue

then I am seriously conscious about the future of Bangladesh cricket.

Atm only Pakistan seems only contender to give India some sort of competition in subcontinent condition as they do have some world class batsmen, they are also very good at playing spin although they didn't face any quality spin since the era of Harbhajan-Kumble-Warne-Murli. Not sure about their spin attack tho, Yasir Shah was my fav go to guy after Ashwin but he's fading now, don't know why he's not playing anymore.

And that's the reason they don't wanna play with Pakistan because this will spoil the Indian winning records at home

And that's another reason why they don't allow Pakistani players in IPL, for if they do, the Pakistani superstars will break all records of Auctions.
I am sure, the Pakistani players will be the most expensive players in the auction because of their performances.

To be honest I think that Pakistan is a far better t20 team than India because Pakistan can utilize their pace in almost any pitch and find a great young batting order who can smash balls any time of the innings. Will India also has really good batsmen but on the bowling side, I think they are less than Pakistan. And obviously, those are some reasons why I don't want to show their weakness by inviting Pakistani players into IPL.

England squad for the first test (8th Dec). No word on Aussie.

Proteas full squad against India for 3 tests. Uff Scary combination of Rabada-Nortje. India might announce their full squad tomorrow.

The way Bangladesh is performing in tests, it seems that they really want their test status to revoke asap. Saw highlights and fuck, Couple of dismissal were really bad, looked like they were playing T-20.

And what's happening with Shakib vs BCB fight over test cricket tours? Is he really throwing tantrum like teenagers?

And it will surely gonna continue for a long time as india has the most complete test side. It is not easy to beat India in test matches even in away conditions, they have beaten Australia in Australia and England in England and when it comes to india it is nearly impossible to beat india in India. Because no need In the world right now play spin that well and dont have quality spinners in their side as well.

Only because Indian lower order and especially Spin bowlers Jadeja-Ashwin performed exceptionally well with ball and bat, recent addition is Axar patel.

And Home domination continues.. In last 2 decades India has lost only 2 series at home. 1 against Australia in 2004-05. 1 against England in 2012-13.

https://i.imgur.com/liGg3a0.jpg

Most consecutive test series wins at home. Let's see when this streak comes to end, my bet would be on Australia if Lyon clicks in next tour but again India has Ashwin-Jadeja-Axar trio as all rounders, it won't be a easy task but not impossible either.
https://i.imgur.com/00B1auw.jpg

Thats really big and it isn't easy achievable. Such a long list of wins on the home country shows the potential of Indian cricket team on test cricketing. At different captaincy the team have played cricket and has won the 14 series. So, every captain have done the best of their ability and contributed to the win. The upcoming series will make things interesting, because everyone will watch whether the win continues or gonna get stopped.

This also sets a very dangerous precedent because almost everyone takes these home domination for granted even when fielding 2nd string team. Reminds of me Australian era of home domination tbh.

Having said that This current Indian team now need to win only 2 places. South Africa and New Zealand, if they want to register their names into history books.

The Indian cricketers are currently laying a golden eggs for the BCCI, but they are not caring them like they need to do because in current situation sending them to South Africa is the biggest threat to their lives as covid new version having bad impact, and it's already arrived in India recently. Even situation is some better in Australia, so they can play test matches against England but going to South Africa in presence of this biggest threat is totally political or personal agenda not related to cricket or any other thing.

Here, BCCI giving impression they never drop alone their friends even they can scarify their players for this all and mostly Indian players are not brave enough like Aussies or Kiwis that they announce personally they are not available for this tour due to this serious threat.

I don't think that any of the senior players would be willing to tour South Africa at this point. Even if they do, I wonder how they will be allowed back to India once the tour is over. They may be asked to undergo very strict quarantine for many weeks. Only around half the population in India is fully vaccinated and if there is another strain spreading through the population, it will result in a huge number of deaths, very similar to what happened during the second wave of April-May.

I really don't know what they are trying to do,
because what are you going to do with the board if you don't have players to play?
What if the players get some sort of health issue because of this tour and what if the situation gets worse as this is a contagious virus?
What would they do then to save their players?
Where the money would come in the future if you don't have your players?
Sure you can follow that health and safety guidelines but it's not necessary that everyone will also follow that.

the vaccines that India had were given to elderly people first then the young people and they were just considering giving it to the kids, but before they do that the new variant of coronavirus has been detected and if India tours under these circumstances, I think it will put the whole Indian nation at risk. But I honestly do not think that they will go through with their decisions and probably will cancel the tour later.

Right now it's not all about vaccination there are many other factors also working western media is exposing how these big multibillion medicine companies doing hypocrisy and having double or treble their profit in the name of this vaccination as effected peoples number increasing very quickly recently in many countries, and now we have this new Omicron which is the more problem right now specially in African countries can create serious troubles so better avoiding and staying at home is much better because always safety is very important but BCCI never thinks about this as they have their own agenda and money greediness which is now having some trouble for their players those are really important for their greediness.

India just need 5 wickets to wrap up the match and two days time to pick those wickets, knowing that New Zealand was able to defend loosing their final wicket in the first Test match when i really thought India would wrap up the match easily, New Zealand showed a fighting spirit but in a situation like this it is impossible.

The previous match was almost in the hands of India, but New Zealand played in a much better way and it ended with a draw as there is no more time. This time two complete days left for five wickets to be taken confirms the winning of India. As said, only rain can help them draw the match. Right now Southern part of India is full of rain, and there is no rain for the particular state in which the match is going on.

I was sure about this India going to win this series by 2 - 0 because at home with spin wickets right now India is invincible for SENA countries but sadly first test draw due to bad light but in second test they give a good lesson to visitors even Ajax Patel achieve historical record, but it's all in vain with New Zealand bowled out on 62 and then 167 which is very poor from their standard but its already end and India having another good series win at home.

^ Newzealand should certainly have done better against India in batting. They should have known that it is going to be a spin track and they should have prepared better for it. I think their bowlers also should have done better. When the team scores more than 300 runs and all the 10 wickets are taken by one spin bowler then the bowling plan is not also to the point.
And about Bangladesh versus Pakistan test, it could be a draw depending on the situation. But seeing Bangladesh performing so bad in test cricket I think that they would also be hoping for a draw.

NZ batsman showed zero respect for 10 Wickets in an innings by Patel. Surely India will come out victorious in the match. Kohli is struggling to regain his form, he need some more time probably. Only rain can save NZ, is there any rain forecast for coming two days of play?

Yes it was bit disappointing for India that they did not win this series 2-0 I think which they should have won. May be if siraj played the first test match instead of ishant sharma the result would have been differnt. But never the less india won this match comprehensively and would be happy with a series win. India got a lot out of this series with players like Iyer jayant axar and mayank agarwal performing well.
