I thought India was done, and you make stands like this, I mean it wasn't out of context but still kinda unexpected, meanwhile if Jadeja gets to 90s, Ashwin will get probably run-out Tongue

India were playing so poor and losing their wickets back to back, I was looking at Sri Lanka to win the game very easily as Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma out after making less than 10 runs each till Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja have not played a great innings. Ravichandran Ashwin made a century, his role is not batsmen, he is an bowling all rounder but still he lead the team India put the pressure back on the Bangladesh team. Ravindra Jadeja is also near to his century, I hope he will make his century tomorrow as he is batting on 86 today as well. Doing good batting  Smiley



How poor performance by the team India in the start. They were looking to lose this test match in their home ground against Bangladesh. In Chennai Cricket Stadium, there is a lot of people to see their team but no performance by team India and losing their wickets. Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and other players have not scored well and on 150 scores they were batting in the loss of 6 wicket that was so poor performance by them till that time. Ashwin and Jadeja rescued them but I am still not convinced by the top order performance. Let’s see what will they do in the next games, I was really surprised after seeing India team today's performance in the test match, especially against Bangladesh.

^^ Lol what are you talking about? Not everything is a conspiracy theory. When the home season starts, then no one, even retarded individuals won't think of dropping this duo. They play 99.99% of test matches together in India unless there is some injury.

The problem comes when they tour SENA, conditions there hardly give space for 2 spin options in the playing XI so they have to make a hard choice between Jadaja and Ashwin. In the last 5-6 years Jadeja is averaging 42+ with the bat that's why Ashwin gets sidelined (SENA only) and the seam all-rounder comes in. Pandaya filled in for some time, followed by Lord Thakur.

Nowadays, Kuldeep and Axar are given a higher priority when compared to Ashwin. Anyway, Ashwin is now 38 years old and that may partly explain this. Jadeja isn't that young either. Soon he will be 36. But then Indian test squad is a bunch of oldies. Rohit Sharma is 37, while Virat Kohli will be 36 in a few days. And I agree on your view for SENA tours. It may not be a good idea to have 2 spin options, and therefore either one among Ashwin or Jadeja may miss out on the selection.

India started with a poor batting performance in the first Test match against Bangladesh. The batting they are doing in today's match may soon turn them into an all out for Bangladesh. Indian team lost three wickets, experienced batsman Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill were all out. These players did not start well in the opening. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma combined for a total of 12 runs with six runs each, and Shubman Gill was out for 0 runs. Right now Rishabh Pant and Yashasvi Jaiswal are batting if they can form a partnership then good can collect a run and if they get out then India will definitely not score big today.
India performed brilliantly in the first innings and they give a respectable total and still 4 wickets in hand after end of the day 1. Let see what happened in the next day .

Old is gold.
With the fall of 6 wickets for 144 runs, I thought that maybe India would end the first innings before 200 runs by being all out, but with the amazing batting skills of Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin, no wickets fell at 339 runs.
These two legendary batsmen managed to relieve India from such undesirable situations not only with Bangladesh but many times in the past.

Won't be an easy feat in such conditions but I won't mind a ton from Ashwin, it's been a while so why not?

These two (Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin) are like the most under-rated players in the Indian squad. They have rescued the Indians many times in all formats of the game, and yet a lot of times the selectors find one or other excuse to drop them from the team. One reason for this maybe that these two are regarded as close to Dhoni and therefore opposed to the Virat Kohli-Rohit Sharma gang. India were struggling at 144/6. From that position, these two took India to 339/6 by the end of the day's play. And Bangladesh is doing what they are best at. Losing matches which they should have been winning.

On the first day of the first test match, the Sri Lankan team gave a great batting performance, they scored 302 runs with the loss of 7 wickets. However, in today's match, Sri Lanka team scored a great score against New Zealand, moreover, Kamindu Mendis was in an amazing batting form, he managed to score an amazing century by collecting 114 runs. Sri Lanka managed to make a good score in today's match, however, they may collect a bigger score on the second day, but the New Zealand team's batting performance will depend on which team will win the first test match.
Day 1 is over and tomorrow will be the second day of 1st test match between Sri Lanka and New Zealand. Match will be difficult for both teams because we saw many times, a team which played well in first inning they lose the rhythm in second inning and they lose the match. But now Sri Lanka is in good condition and they can hit good score on board and we can see interesting match . New Zealand batters have to play well in this match if they want to win this match. Bowlers could not stop Sri Lankan batters at low score but now New Zealand batters have time to handle this situation,if they handled this situation,they will be successful in this match.I think Sri Lanka team will lose last three wickets very easily and we will see good match and after that New Zealand batters will play well and they will lead in this match.
Yes both teams are tough competitor and both have good reputation in international cricket. 1 st of 1 st test game was over yesterday and today 2 nd day will be play. Sri Lanka team won the toss and got a chance to take first bat or bowl and Sri Lanka team elected bat first and gave bowl opportunity to new Zealand team. Sri Lanka team effort in 1 st day was going very well and they grabbed 302 runs in 88 overs by losing 7 wickets. Opener batsman Nissanka and Dimuth both were dismissed and did not grab good runs Nissanka is a good player but they failed to perform well in 1 st lineup. Mendis played very great in batting and he made a brilliant century helped team to score 300+ runs and still they 3 more wickets to play and if sri Lanka batsman will succeed to make 400+ runs then New Zealand team encounter difficulties to chase the runs but we don't underestimate the effort of New Zealand team. Let's see what happen in next days..

Oval win can be a turning point for the Sri Lankan cricket. And who knows? Despite the fact that they are facing huge challenges with domestic cricket, maybe they will be able to improve the quality of their game in the long run. Afterall, cricket in Sri Lanka is more than a hundred years old, unlike that in countries such as Afghanistan and Nepal. Anyway, this is just the first day. I am still not very sure whether Sri Lanka can win this test match. What if New Zealand comes back strongly tomorrow?
Maybe things will be gone good for the Sri Lankan cricket as now they are doing their best for the improvement but still they need to work on their domestic setup which is key for their success in this game they are having good history but sadly in last few years things are not going as they are famous and having record.

In this test match as we have good fightback from Sri Lanka things are looking favourable for them to stay at the driving seat for the better result their spinners are going to be key for them if they are going to win this match and taking lead into series as well.



For Sri Lankan teams success in this game is strongly depended on this 31 years old SLA orthodox spinner who is having good record at home and can bring success for the team with his quality bowling on surface like this which is having good turn.

The Indian team has so far scored 270 runs for six wickets. Currently India team is not able to protect their wickets, Bangladesh team Hasan Mahmud is seeing repeated wickets fall. Hasan Mahmood gave a very good bowling performance scoring 51 runs in 16 overs and picking up four wickets the best performance for today's match. India's last pair, two experienced players, Ravindra Jadeja and Ashwin, have formed a partnership for a long time. If the Bangladeshi players can get these two out, there are no more reliable batsmen in the Indian squad, so only Hasan Mahmood and Mehdi Hasan Miraj and Shakib Al Hasan should be trusted to get these two batsmen out. Shakib Al Hasan is an experienced player but today he could not perform well in terms of bowling.

270-300 would be ideal and looks like a good first inning score on this deck, considering India are 6 down so they would take a 270-ish score but it's the last batting pair and then we have 3 genuine tailenders as we don't have Axar at number 9 and pitch is helping the bowlers, if their bowlers get one of Ash-Jaddu's wicket then they are in business.

India lost wickets early in the innings. And I thought this team might not even score 200 runs. But now India's batting looks like the team will collect up to 350 easily. There is even a possibility of collecting around 400.

You are right that a collection close to 300 on this pitch can be called a good collection. Because the performance of the opponent Bangladesh's batsmen is very erratic. There is no way to say for sure whether the Bangladeshi batsmen will be able to collect big. However, the average score of the first innings of this pitch of Chennai is 347 runs. India is likely to muster more than 347.

Sri Lanka did not start the second day well. Our estimate was that the Sri Lankan team would be able to collect around 350. But I didn't think that Sri Lanka would start the second day so badly. At the end of the first day, Sri Lanka's collection was 302 runs with the loss of 7 wickets. And Sri Lanka's innings stopped at 305 runs. Sri Lanka team lost three wickets by collecting only 3 runs. I don't find it too difficult to collect big on this pitch. So Sri Lanka should have collected one over 350.

New Zealand's two openers are batting very responsibly. New Zealand team has already collected 62 runs. And the Sri Lankan bowlers are yet to pick up a single wicket. Tom Latham scored 37 runs off 52 balls and Devon Conway scored 17 runs off 56 balls. The New Zealand team is now trailing by 243 runs. But the way New Zealand is batting, I think the New Zealand team can take a lead of at least 100 in the first innings.

Although Sri Lanka's top order is not batting well, New Zealand's top order batsmen are batting well today. Sri Lanka scored 305 runs in their first innings. It cannot be called a big collection considering the condition of the pitch.

New Zealand lost their first wicket by 63 runs. Devon Conway was dismissed for 17 runs. New Zealand lost their second wicket for 136 runs. Tom Latham returned to the dressing room with 70 runs. And now Williamson and Rachin Ravindra are batting. Williamson is an experienced player and has already scored 41 runs. And the New Zealand team totaled 145 runs. However, the New Zealand team is still behind by 160 runs. But since the team has lost just two wickets, it is not impossible for New Zealand to collect 160 runs.

Bangladesh won the captain's toss and took the fielding decision. The Bangladeshi bowlers started the innings well. India team lost three wickets to collect only 34 runs, experienced batsmen of the top order could not bat well. Yashasvi Jaiswal returned to the dressing room with 56 runs and Rishab Pant 39 runs. And now at the crease. Aswin and Jadeja. India's current collection is 176/6. But both Ashwin and Jadeja have the ability to play big innings. So if the Bangladeshi bowlers can't bowl well and break this pair, I won't be surprised at all if India collect more than 350. We have seen many big innings from Jadeja in the past.

Your guess is going to be right. Although India did not start the innings well, the team is now in a very good position. Jadeja and Ashwin are batting very responsibly today.

India lost the wicket of KL Rahul for 144 runs. And now India's collection is 224 runs. India team has already collected 80 runs from Ashwin-Jadeja pair. Jadeja remained unbeaten on 32 runs and Ashwin on 47 runs. Bangladeshi bowlers will have to try to break this pair quickly. Otherwise, India will collect big in the first innings itself. And in the current position India is in, it is not difficult for India to score 300 runs.

Ahaa Rahul is a goner, now all responsibility is back to Jaddu-Ashwin. Bangbro ran through the Indian batting line up convincingly. Won't be an easy feat in such conditions but I won't mind a ton from Ashwin, it's been a while so why not?

Nice expectations you got there. Although you never know what tail-enders got up their sleeves in tests, I expect India to close around 270-300 and kinda okay with it, because I want Bangladesh to take a good lead so we see a good contest in second innings.
It's wishful thinking atm as seamers are charged up but Ash is not a typical tailender and it's not like he doesn't know how to hold a bat, he got 5 tons after all. Don't want to jinx it but he's timing well so maybe, just maybe lol

270-300 would be ideal and looks like a good first inning score on this deck, considering India are 6 down so they would take a 270-ish score but it's the last batting pair and then we have 3 genuine tailenders as we don't have Axar at number 9 and pitch is helping the bowlers, if their bowlers get one of Ash-Jaddu's wicket then they are in business.

Excellent first session so far, nice contest between bat and ball.
Discipline of Mahmud ensured success for the Bangbros and he bowled a long spell, it tells you about his fitness, very impressive because it's almost unheard as far as Bangladesh pace culture goes but feel Taskin and Nahid Rana looked rusty, Taskin did bowl some fine balls but he was quick to release the pressure. Their fielders also looked slow so far.
Jaiswal and Pant are doing a hard yard and could be dangerous as usual because both of them play their shots at will but right now their focus should go not out and have lunch.
Indian top order batting line collapsed under Hasan Mahmud's brilliant bowling and they lost 3 valuable wickets till the lunch break, including reliable batsmen like Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli. These three batsmen were very reliable in the team but they failed to show their best game. Earlier, Bangladesh team invited India to bat after winning the toss and they managed to use the two pacers very well. Rohit got out after 14 runs and Shubman Gill found his way to the pavilion after 28 runs and Virat Kohli got out after 34 runs which is a great success for the Bangladesh team.
Now it appears that Bangladesh captain Nazmul Hossain Shanto decision to bowl first seems very effective and they have completed a great spell.

To be honest, we are not seeing the kind of performance we thought we would see from India. Our prediction was that India will dominate and win their home match. Because India is always strong at home ground. On the other hand, the Bangladesh team is very weak in the Test format. So the match was more likely to be one-sided.

India cannot start well today. Against Hasan Mahmud, the experienced Indian batsmen could not survive at the crease. Among the first 4 batsmen, 4 wickets have been taken by Hasan Mahmud. Hasan took the wickets of Rohit, Kohli, Pant and Gill. Nahid also picked up the important wicket of Jaiswal. India has now collected 165 runs, and the team has lost 6 wickets. It is difficult for India to collect even 220 now.

Bit of worry in the Indian camp as Jaiswal goes. Nahid Rana also chipping in and hooping around, set up for Jaiswal was so good and executed nicely, Nahid kept testing his outside edge and finally got the reward.

Ahaa Rahul is a goner, now all responsibility is back to Jaddu-Ashwin. Bangbro ran through the Indian batting line up convincingly. Won't be an easy feat in such conditions but I won't mind a ton from Ashwin, it's been a while so why not?
