Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod]

[mm2543363580]

At the end of the day, India mustered only 45 and lost four wickets. Not only did Virat Kohli perform badly, India's top order failed completely. Bangladesh cannot give a big target. Even then, India batted badly. I thought India would reach the target by losing 2/3 wickets. But now it is challenging for them to win the match. If Iyer and Pant do not play well then India will lose this match. Batting in the first session is very difficult. Indian players have to play very carefully.

Shreyas Iyer has contributed to win the match, but all credit goes to Ashwin. He has batted very well. India has won the match by 3 wickets for his powerful finishing. Pitch condition was in favour of the spin bowlers. India should really change the squad for their top order batsman, everyone is worried for such failure of Indian top orders.

This was an obvious win for India ,Shreyas Iyer again saved India from defeat what a consistent player.
Bangladesh struggled alot with the pitch and batting both , they seriously need to work on their batting to avoid such defeats. India managed to compete the trial and chase runs, credit goes to Ashwin too.

Bangladesh's winning chance of  the test against India remained a dream ‍at the end. Shreyas Iyer and Ravichandran Ashwin's batting forced Bangladesh to lose the test. Even they were very well dreaming of winning the match. I was surprised in this test how a bowler could score such a big in difficult moment. Where top order batsmen have been completely defeated. However, apart from winning the test with this pair, he was also able to set a world record.

After the fall of India's seventh wicket, it looked like Bangladesh might be on their way to a miracle. They are going to win the Test against India. But no, they proved me wrong. India team won very easily with Iyer and Ashwin's excellent performance. India lost their seventh wicket at 74, with Iyer and Ashwin putting on a 71-run partnership.

I am not satisfied with the performance of the Indian team in this series. They lost the ODI series. India dominated the first test match quite well. But their performance in the second match was very poor. I am not at all satisfied with the performance of their batsmen in particular. We expect better performance from such experienced batsmen.

When Mehdi bowled out Axar Patel at 74 I was also having same feeling that today Bangladesh is going to have their historic win against India in this test match because now India having lost all their top order batsmen and having only Iyer and Ashwin is surely not helpful while they were still looking for another 72 runs to win on this tricky pitch which was helping Mehdi, Shakib and Tajul but amazing performance from veteran Ashwin at crucial point of this test match give amazing win in this test match and series by 2 - 0 but still we have to praise Bangladesh as well because their performance was also at their best in this match, and now they have two big heroes for the future of Mehdi Hasan Miraz and Litton Das these both can bring better results for the team in coming years.

India won today's match depends on their batsmen. But after watching the game I thought India won't win this match.  I was really worried the way all the batsmen started getting out.

Yeh absolutely the whole indian team depends on Thier batting lineup because batters is Thier strength as compared to thier bowling, India need to found a bowlers like gem through IPL.
Back to the previous game I taught that pujara will perform like first test but he didn't, Rishabh Pant, Ashwin and Mr consistency Shreyas Iyer safe India from defeat against Bangladesh. While from other side L.Das and M.Haque perform quite well against strong team like India. Everyone are quite woory for Kohli performance but in my mind he will comback and will perform better than expectation

[fullhdpixel]

Well, kholi plays best when he is playing against Pakistan  
To get his test form back, you need to schedule some test matches against Pakistan. Remember he was out of form in the T20 too, but as soon as he started playing against Pakistan, he got his form back.

Lol that's true kohil and many Indian players play more aggressively and brilliantly against Pakistan.  
Recent Indian performance in test cricket is almost same like Pakistan test series on their home ground the difference is India is playing against Bangladesh who are luckily weaker than them and Pakistan was playing against England who's strong team like Pakistan.  
Otherwise performance wise they are same.

Here I agreed with you about many player's performance which need better and healthy environment specially matches against Pakistan which will increase their confidence and performance because here we have many factors instead of competition which encourage players to do well and have their best in match as well but as you are saying right now India is also performing like Pakistan it's not true because right now India is having much better quality and skilled players but sadly due to some unknown factors they are fail to give their best and consistently falling badly even they can do better but on other side Pakistan is completely down and out of the competition with their recent test performance at home against Australia and England with no player have enough quality to give them better backup for having good fight against quality teams.

But man seriously even I was afraid today after watching the match score. India was continuously losing wickets and despite such a low total was just crawling towards it. Credit to Bangladesh bowling department also who remained aggressive till the end on the whole situation. All thanks to Axar, Iyer and the magician Ashwin whose batting has now helped India so many times in test Cricket.

Yes it is true that in the last match Bangladeshi bowlers did great but at the end of the day India full fill the requirements for winning this match. At some point I thought the way they are blowing I thought they are gonna win today's match. Yes there bowlers are much improved their selfs  and for this I big credit goes to Mehidi Miraz he took five wicket in this match .

Finally Shreyas and Ashwin have won the batsom for India.  Because of the fall of total 7 wickets in the last moment Shreyas and Ashwin scored 29 runs in 46 balls and scored 42 runs in 62 balls.  These two are known as India's best stars today.  In today's second innings, even though Bangladesh played on their own ground, they could not snatch the victory.  Because this Mirpur ground was strong for Bangladesh, it is never acceptable that others will win in their own ground.  Shreyas and Ashwin were fit for Tests that kept India's game away.

It was a proper thriller of a game. Bangladesh will wonder how they let this slip, not so long ago when India were bowled out at 74/7. At that point, the target of 145 looked a long, long way off. The Ashwin-Iyer partnership needed cricketing smarts and temperament to bail out the visitors. The pair showed everyone how to play on a turning surface. India may have won the game but there are serious concerns to worry about, especially the form of their senior players. But finally India came back with a victory in the field of Bangladesh.

Australia VS South Africa

The second test match between these two teams has already started. Australia is already leading the series and hopefully they will win it too. Australia won the toss and chose to bowl first and it seems the decision to bowl first is helping them as South Africa has already lost 4 wickets and have only scored 58 runs. It is very hard to defeat Australia when they are playing on thier homeground in test cricket.

The decision to bowl first have made South Africa loss early wickets. Someone to take position and lead the team is necessary for now. If not this is going to be an easy win for Australia. To defeat on the home ground is really tough, and Elgar losing the wicket is unwanted at that time when there is consecutive fall of wickets without good runs on the scoreboard.

India won today's match depends on their batsmen. But after watching the game I thought India won't win this match.  I was really worried the way all the batsmen started getting out. Later when I saw India 3 wickets in the match.  I am really happy to see this win.  Bangladeshi players could not perform very well at the end of the game.

India played very well on the first day of the Test match and were ahead of Bangladesh by a huge of runs due to which they did not need too many runs to win the second day match.  Because of this India beat Bangladesh by 3 wickets I said in my last post that India was more likely to win this test match Bangladesh was not a very likely team to draw with India

My prediction was that India will win the match but the match will be very competitive. Because this is Mirpur's pitch. Bangladesh bowlers always perform well on Mirpur pitch. And they played very well against India too, this morning I thought Bangladesh was going to win. India won because of Iyer and Ashwin's responsible batting. India needed to win the Test series after the humiliating defeat in the ODI series.

Bangladesh is losing to India by 3 wickets Bangladesh might have won the match if they can save wickets because there is no specific over limit in test match if they can save wickets they can play the whole day so the target in test match is to save wickets but Bangladesh could not do that they lost to India by 3 wickets in Bangladesh ODI match  They have seen very good performances but they are not able to show much performance in Test matches and T20s

Bangladesh's performance in this series against India must be appreciated. The players of Bangladesh have performed very well. And in every match it seemed that Bangladesh might win. But due to bad and irregular batting, Bangladesh has fallen behind in every match. Bangladesh's top order has been weak for a long time. They are trying to strengthen this weak top order, but they are not succeeding. It is very difficult to win matches if the top-order players do not play well.

You must be a Bangladesh fan and therefore, appreciate this Bangladesh performance (which cannot be called a good performance by any means). Apart from the 2nd test, where there is a decent chance of winning the test match, I don't see any good performances from Team Bangladesh. They failed in every department and need to redevelop themselves.
Even in the 2nd test, most experts say that they came back in the match only because the wicket had started behaving abnormally.

In the 2nd Test match Australia vs South Africa these two teams have come to the field to play. The game has started at Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne Stadium. South Africa is now batting. 95 runs in 39 overs. And South Africa has lost 5 wickets so far. Watch the game  It seems that South Africa will be all out today. But how many runs South Africa will score in today's match is still beyond my imagination.

South Africa played a bit more impressed in the 2nd Test as played in the first Test. In the first Test match, South Africa scored 152 & 99 against Australia and Australia 218 & 35 won by 5 wickets. In the 2nd Test, South Africa has already been able to score 159 runs losing 5 wickets. As a result, they will be able to make 200 plus easily. According to the match condition of South Africa the 2nd Test match may be competitive.

Pakistan is playing another historic series against New zealand at there home ground after 22 years. So far in this year Pakistan has lost 2 home test series against Australia and England. For my delight, Sarfraz is finally back in playing 11 after a long time as a wicket keeper. Its a good opportunity for New zealand to win a test series against a weak Pakistan test side. Pakistan are already out from ICC World Test Championship.

[rojan]

South Africa did not score many runs in today's match. I think the runs that South Africa scored were not the right runs for them to win. South Africa has got all out due to poor performance in batting. On the other hand, Australia has shown a great performance in bowling. Cameron  Green took the highest wicket in this match. He took 5 wickets for 27 runs off 4 balls in 10 overs.

[pakhitheboss]

South Africa first innings 189 all out. Australia completely dominating the first innings. Green took 5 wickets as an all-rounder this must be his best day. South Africa too has some of the best bowler and not it might be their turn to take wickets and destroy the Australian batting line-up. I do not think it will easy for Australian batters to chase those runs on a pitch that is bowlers friendly.

Pakistan are already out from ICC World Test Championship.

Pakistan Cricket Board has reintroduced Sarfraz Ahmed to the team, and we hope that he will provide good performances. Sarfraz, 35, replaces someone who did really well for two years. He's gone after one bad series. Hopefully, this won't happen to Sarfraz in the next match, and he will be dropped. However, 3 wickets have already been lost for Pakistan in session one. It has been four consecutive losses for both New Zealand and Pakistan in Test matches. It looks like the New Zealand side will turn things around.

South Africa vs Australia in this test match South Africa was all out by scoring 189 runs.  Meanwhile, Australia scored 45 runs for the loss of 1.  Today on this first day Australia I think they need 144 runs to cover it.  Australia can perform very well in this regard.  Australia's Warner scored 32 runs off 51 balls which is a huge return for the team.
