Bangladesh does not have star players like Shakib, Tamim and Mahmudullah in this series. The Bangladesh Board has arranged a lot of young dependent teams. No one expected the young team to win against an experienced team like New Zealand. Everyone thought maybe Bangladesh will play better. But the results will be in New Zealand's favor.
However, Bangladesh will play another test match on the 9th. I hope they can draw this match. I would be happy if Bangladesh's players can maintain the continuity. It's hard to consistently play well and win against a team like New Zealand.

A great and historical win by Bangla tigers bring back some good things for them and their fans because after losing at home against Pakistan very badly no one were expecting any good news from these youngsters, but they have done one of most memorable win for their country, and now they deserve great applause from all cricket world because India never done this in long time with most equipped team in current cricket world, but they achieve this great win.

Now in second test they can go with good confidence because they have nothing to lose so this time they will try to win and have draw is also very great achievement for them with New Zealand surely under pressure with WTC and losing at home against Bangladesh with now losing series pressure is also can do something bad impact on them hopefully they will be good enough to handle this all.

Australia vs England

After day-2, Australia has collected 416 and declared their innings. The highest collection for the team was that of Usman Khawaja. He has scored 137 runs. Smith made 67 runs.
The performance of the England batsmen in the last two matches, I think 417 runs is too big for England. England can make a maximum of 300. However, at the end of the second day, England managed to score 13 runs without losing a wicket. They are only 403 runs behind. Grin

Although Australians are able to make 416 runs in their first innings but they have utilized full 2 days. Now they need to quickly bowl England out or preferably enforce a follow on.
If England are able to make 300+ runs in the first innings, then it's most likely that this test match will end in a draw. England managed to survive the last 5 overs of 2nd day and therefore so far it's good for England.

Its first ever Test win by SA at Johannesburg against India. SA won quite comfortably in the end. Honestly, nobody was expecting such performance from SA. Recent Test performance by SA and Bangladesh are good for cricket, it just an indication that cricket is still alive in these countries. That's why bilateral test series are important.

All credit to South African top order batting line-up in second inning all done very good job and clinch this match comfortably in last inning even target was not good but after watching their first match performance and first inning scorecard mostly peoples were feeling surely some twist will happen but Elgar, Dussen and Bavma all play very sensibly and win for their team. In last inning Bumrah and Shami both were off the track even they have done some good spells but still they were no on target with supportive bowler Siraj was out with hamstring which is also had some problem for new captain.

Now we have third and final test at Cape Town on 11 January, hopefully this could be another interesting match to watch from these both teams with Kohli will also back in the team for India.

England bad days are yet to over as they have to chase mighty 417 runs today. Best they can do in this series is to draw at least one game so that they avoid whitewash. Aus have got a good start and it will be difficult to defeat Aus from this start. Haseeb Hameed is included once again despite repeated failures, this shows England don't have any replacement.

English bad days are not going to end in this series they need overhaul in their batting line-up because currently Just Root is having some better record all others average or below average with very crap record in this series.

Hopefully we will have some better technique from them in this fourth test which is still a big doubt with bowling is still giving them very good response, but they can't give them all with no batsman is giving any positive response. Australia done 417 in first inning now it's might task for them to save this test even weather is also helping them but tomorrow is very crucial because if they are able to done 300+ then surely they will be in safe heaven otherwise It's going to be 4 - 0 in Australian favor without any big problem.

As cricket fans, we are all very excited about Bangladesh's first test match win against New Zealand, which is beyond our wildest expectations. Following their World Cup performance, they later suffered a lot against Pakistan. Nobody believes in them anymore. Even though we have results, I am still waiting for their next test match before commenting on or making any guesses about Bangladesh.

SA vs IND

Series is most likely heading towards 1-1 as Proteas only need 66 runs now.

Only Thakur is producing fine spell. Bumrah and Shami both looked off color so far, Ashwin was okay and Miyan ji struggling with hamstring (that's why he's not bowling i suppose). SA's top order deserve full credit for this, they are batting beautifully.

And I might be wrong but even if it was hit for a six, won't get the ball somehow? Someone clarify me, please.

Only if ball finds it way to umpires or Board himself going to stands and requesting the ball from the crowd Grin

. I didn't see if someone from the crowd tossed the ball.

Uff wicket!! Well done Lala...

Edit

Congratulation SA. Dean Elgar is man of the match, no doubt about it. Great inning.

Sportsmanship is not Siraj's forte, he deserve some spanking from Virat and Dravid.

Has anyone noticed a funny thing? Australia and New Zealand reached the final of the T20 World Cup. The two teams went to Bangladesh to play before the World Cup and lost shamefully. It was unexpected that a team like New Zealand and Australia would lose the series against a small team like Bangladesh.
Winning a Test match against New Zealand at their home is even more challenging. Teams like India, England and Australia were also defeated. Bangladesh won the Test match there and in full 5 days we saw the dominance of Bangladeshi players. Which is really a pride for Bangladeshi players.

Yes, I thought about this when the WC started. New Zealand and Australia are two of the best teams in t-20 and they were in shambles when they toured Bangladesh as their spin-favored pitch was quite tough for them to deal with. On the other hand, the test champions, New Zealand were defeated after this WC in tests by Bangladesh> I'm guessing if Bangladesh tours Australia for test, they will win that as well?

^^ Poms are lucky that they are not 1 down. Crawley should thank to Strac that his no ball might save his test career.

Gotta feel for Poor Broady, he took a 5-for (first 5-for England in this series) but he didn't get the ball after the inning because Nathan lyon hit a six into the crowd and exactly at same time Cummins declared the inning.

Rain Parera at Wanderers..

Poms is lucky gotta admit that. And I might be wrong but even if it was hit for a six, won't get the ball somehow? Someone clarify me, please.

And Australia has set a huge total on the scoreboard and I don't think England will be able to take a lead, it seems quite impossible on paper in my opinion. The Australian batting lineup did a terrific job as everyone contributed to the scoreboard.

Since two days have already passed. So now England's goal should be to draw the match. They will have to bat all day tomorrow. And must do at least 300. If they bat again after the follow-on, they will undoubtedly lose this match as well.
England's batsmen should continue to try to survive at the crease. Not relying on Joe Root. If they can finish the first session tomorrow without losing a wicket, then England will be able to draw this match. I wouldn't be surprised if they won. The first session of the day is very important. The team that plays well in the first session will be in control of the match throughout the day.

South Africa needs just 122 run to win the match. The Indian pacers were not able to pick early wickets to put them in trouble and the Indian batting was disappointing in this match, yet i think the bowlers will fight hard in the morning session even though i do not give India a chance to win the match from this situation, i am expecting some fiery spells from Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah.

The match can still swing either way. The lower order South African batsmen are in poor form so far in this series. And we can expect the pitch to give more assistance to the spinners today. Even yesterday Ashwin was able to extract a lot of turn from the surface. Dean Elgar and Erasmus van der Dussen are looking good so far and at no.5 they have Temba Bavuma who is in good touch. Indian captain should persist with Shardul Thakur and Ravichandran Ashwin, who seems to be his best options.

South Africa will easily win this match, they only need 122 runs and they have lost only 2 wickets. Elgar is still on the pitch and he himself can get those runs for his team. If India is able to bowl out him then they will try to draw this match. I believe that would be an impossible task for the Indian bowlers.

Bangladesh surprised the entire world thanks to some amazing performances. Some of the youngsters in their team have a ton of potential. NZ messed up big-time and they clearly missed Williamson a lot.

Also, South Africa are in a strong position to win the 2nd test unless they collapse. Bowlers like Bumrah etc need to improve their game since they haven't been performing well recently.

In South Africa match is still well-balanced with Elger and Van der Dussen is on crease with 25 runs partnership and now still need 122 more to win just one more wicket before going into double-digit can bring back India into match because this one wicket can bring some good number of more for them in quick way now we have to wait for more 12 hours for all updates.

No doubt all cricket world is shocked with this win as it's just second time in last 3 years any Asian team able to win a test in New Zealand, and now they have few priceless WTC points as well with this win secondly now they can't lose this series with this win they have only 2 options win or draw with this they will play some better in second test match.
