Right, particularly Bangladesh in the test cricket i haven’t seen any significant improve for the last couple of year's. But BD team win a historic ODI series after 20 years against SA. And i think they're not bad also in T-20 but i just can't be satisfied with their performance in this test format. BCB is rich but due to a lot of mismanagement of this board even in the domestic league’s so there are no improvement what's we are expecting.

Bangladesh all out on 217 and that gave South Africa a lead of 236 runs. South Africa didn't take the follow on and now batting. Mushfiqur Rahim and Yasir Ali did score some runs lower down the order. Overall a disappointing batting from Bangladesh. South Africa now are in complete control of the match.

South African decide not let them follow on. Forcing the follow on, the match would end by the first session of the fourth. After Bangladesh all out at 217 runs, SA skipper charge the bat. SA have already a big lead, they have plan to win the test match in big margin that helps them. In this scenario Bangladesh won't come back strong in their second innings and lose by a big margin. Yes, Bangladesh was never great at test cricket. These players lacks the fundamental thing which is patience.

South Africa have scored 33 runs in there second innings and lead now is of 269 runs. By stumps today South Africa will take the lead to 400 which will be an easy win for SA. Bangladesh is not a new test team they are playing test for over two decades but till now they have only won few matches.

Actually BAN team management are not perfect for test match because Bangladeshi cricket team members have no patience in pitch for long time batting. I think they are perfect for one day and T20 cricket....

Bangladesh always shows the light on test match when they play the match on their home ground .They make the pitch as spin they have the opportunity of spin attack. We don't see so many achievement on test match on outside they played though they have quality players on their team .I could not understand why the are not able to become patient when they do bat though they are good at bowling now on test match as we have seen some quality bowlers like Taizul ,Youngster Khaled and Taskin as well .However i need they need to work hard on this format in order to get win on abroad .South Africa are throwing a huge target now on 2nd test match and it will be tough to win the match and even draw .At last i wanna just say that they need to improve on this format not only on home ground but also on abroad.

South Africa has declared their second innings by adding 176 more runs. Now the target is 413 runs for team Bangladesh. The target is quite much and Bangladesh won't be able to chase it. They have already lost their first 2 wickets in just 11 runs. I think Bangladesh will loss the game by at least 300 runs. Bangladeshi players aren't suitable for the test format. They are good in the ODI format only.

Bangladesh Cricket Team Management Can't achieve such good success in Test match. Bangladesh's bowling performance is a little better but batting is Performance is very poor.They don't give much importance to Test matches, they don't give much importance to Test matches, they give more importance to T20 or ODI series.Which is why they did a little better in the T20s but because of the Tests they did a little better in the T20s but they can't do well in the Tests.

Bangladesh needs 386 more runs to win the match and they already lost 3 wickets in the second innings. In a pitch even South Africa struggled to score runs in the second innings, the match will probably last till the final session tomorrow and if there is any outstanding performance from Mushfiqur Rahim or any other batsman they can drag till the final day which is highly unlikely.

If they can't have patience even after playing 20 years of test cricket then I don't think they will be able to have patience in there players. On stumps day 3, Bangladesh have lost 3 wickets and still 386 to go. If you are chasing a target of 400+ then have some patience and try to stay on pitch for sometimes but these players are in hurry in returning to dressing rooms.

There are teams that took multiple decades to develop their infrastructure and find performers that could match the International standards, for example England never had a great ODI team for decades and they started developing players of ODI and T20 after the introduction of T20 Cricket, India never had a good fast bowler for decades and only recently they started to find exceptional talents in that department. Some countries like South Africa never got to replace the legendary players they once had and Bangladesh will have talented players in the future that would have an impact on the Test level.

In Bangladesh, there is a strong domestic league, although it focuses only on limited overs and is not competitive enough. It is high time that they move their focus from limited to longer formats. Its inexperience, brought about by a lack of exposure, has held Bangladesh back. They are still in the process of developing test maturity, and are still considered minors in test cricket. If your approach in test cricket even at home by playing safe and not beating your opponents, you may not be able to last long. While it's obvious that the process takes time, you don't know whether you are going the right direction until you see it in action.

Bangladesh has very long and good history in cricket even they have test status just 23 years ago, but their set-up is very old but sadly as I read due to domestic corruption they fail to develop this all never have any solid plan for setting things in positive way as few mentioning other countries they develop things, but these all happen just because of strong approach by their own boards and other authorities with this all Bangladesh is also can do this all but first hey need to bring some better set up in management and then work on all fields which must for improving their cricket setup currently they are third most populated country in cricket but sadly due to
their own issues they are at bottom of all lists which is not good.

They already lost some good time but still they have few things which can bring them in good position with available talent which is good but need some good development programs now they have some good funds through BPL which also can help them.

Let's hope things get better for Bangladesh in the future, right now it's very disappointing performance. Hopefully on day 4 we will see result on second test in favour of SA. Bangladesh have there own T20 league and there is lot of cricket going on there, still quality is missing.

I was not aware of the domestic set up of Bangladesh, but like other Asian countries Pakistan and India they need to set up a strong first class league and only then they could find the talents. T20 leagues have nurtured the players for the shortest format and hence Bangladesh is performing well in ODI and T20 and they need to focus on First class Cricket to identify Test level players and give them opportunities.

The problem with the Bangladesh cricket team is that they are just not patient enough to play the test cricket. They are decent enough in One Day Internationals and also trying to improve in the t20s but in Test cricket, they are just not patient enough and fail to see what the bowlers and the batman are trying to do.

The problem is there are a lot of fixing and fabrication going on in the first-class cricket of Bangladesh even though Bangladesh do have a good domestic setup. A player will obviously be disheartened If he knows that there is no point in playing a game because they are not going to win.

Bangladesh Board is not worried about the performance of the Test format. I think so. Bangladesh's domestic leagues are not up to standard. And often we get news of match-fixing in the domestic leagues of Bangladesh. Besides, I am not aware of any domestic tournament organized by Bangladesh Board to improve the Test format. If Bangladesh Board wants to find talented players for the Test format then domestic leagues must be improved, match-fixing must be stopped.

[ibuddy122505]

South Africa won the second test by huge margin as Bangladesh collapse their batting department just 80 runs.Once more for the second time in two tests, BAN have been bowled out for under 100 and Keshav Maharaj the name who cause this annihilation. It's all spinners wickets again. It has been more than 20 years that BAN was granted the test status yet their mentality don't belong to the mark. One more poor and disheartening execution by Bangladesh.

They recently won ODI series against South Africa in South Africa for the very first time in history. But still I cant say they are a reliable team in ODI nor in T20I format. They have there T20 league but still they are playing qualifying round to play the T20I WC last year. Bangladesh really need to work hard on there domestic setup.

[JSRAW]

Damn you Bangladesh!! This is the second time Saffa's spin duo knocked you out cheaply, what happened to you guys?

Australia and South Africa are bossing the point table, South Africa still has 2 tough series away from home but 1 easy series at home against Windies.

India and Pakistan walking on tightrope.

Bangladesh is really a great team in ODI format. But they don't deserve the test status for their worst performance in test format. The players of Bangladesh need more guidance to to better in test matches. Their bowlers aren't able to bring much variance and put pressure on the opponents. Even, the experienced players of Bangladesh showing worthless batting performance. BCB should take necessary steps to improve the ability of their players. They also need a better captain who will be able take the right decisions. Bangladesh is at 8th position in the ICC World Test Championship (2021-2023) Points Table
