Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod]

According to cricinfo, in the first day of the test match between Bangladesh and India we found a story here. A Bangladeshi fan whose name is Robi. He was not feeling good due to his heart condition. The security took him through the hospital and he said, Indian fans hurt him but later he changed his words and said he is sick dehydrated.

Many people in the ground said he argued with the Indian fans and they pushed him and also took his flag meanwhile they does not allow Bangladesh fans to support his country. But the police were saying there was no fight. I don’t know why Robi changed his statement, but I think he changed this due to pressure on him. By the way, some people on the ground don’t want to see Bangladesh people there and hurt them because as they know there are many problems faced by Bangladesh in politics.

Zakir didn't score any runs but he got off to a good start. He tried to play very carefully. But due to lack of experience, he could not survive at the crease. He was very patient. I hope if Zakir is diligent then he will become one of the most important players in Bangladesh team. We will see better performance from Zakir in future.

I don't understand how Zakir Hasan performed well in this match, that's why I couldn't agree with you. Played 24 balls but couldn't get a run how patiently it performed, but you notice the 3 runs in the first innings of the first match, and the 33 runs in the second innings. And if he collects 0 runs in the first innings in the second match, if he does not perform well in this difficult situation of Bangladesh, then how will he perform well later?

Many other batsmen including Zakir Hasan have performed poorly, Bangladesh team has the most batting weakness in the squad. Shakib Al Hasan he has been performing in the game of cricket for a long time and he has not performed well, Mushfiqur Rahim and Liton Das each have such a bad record. So if they can perform well in this match then there will definitely be a possibility to draw the test match. Because as this second match is taking place only rain is being fought, rain has become the biggest obstacle of Bangladesh team till now Tiger batsmen of Bangladesh team could not enter the field. However, we expect a good run rate for Bangladesh team from the batsmen Mominul Haque and Mushfiqur Rahim who are currently at the crease as they are very experienced among the batsmen.

Not only Zakir Hasan but Bangladesh's squad is not fit to play Tests but they are fine till ODIs and T20s. Maybe Zakir Hasan played a little bit well in Bangladesh's test cricket in the beginning but in recent times his performance is not good but he is seen to perform poorly in most of the matches. Mominul Haque performed well in Tests in the beginning but now Mominul Haque is performing very poorly. Bangladesh are not really in Test mode, but when they start playing Tests, the nerves are on edge and if there is a batting disaster, wickets fall in quick succession, which has become a regular pattern for Bangladesh.

The Sri Lankan team continues to play so well that teams like New Zealand are getting badly all out with them. We have seen New Zealand batting for 88 runs against Sri Lanka in the first innings which was really a disappointing batting performance by them. I think New Zealand team might lose badly in this test match and also they will not be able to cope with Sri Lanka team Sri Lanka team has improved a lot. In the second innings New Zealand team collected 199 runs losing 5 wickets and to reach the target of Sri Lanka team collected in the first innings New Zealand still need to collect 315 runs, I think New Zealand will be all out before collecting these runs.

The New Zealand team has been performing badly this season as they lost all wickets for just 88 runs in the first innings. But in comparison the Sri Lankan team is performing very well, so far in the second innings they have collected 199 runs for five wickets in 41 overs. 
Losing five wickets on the first day of the second innings is the biggest weakness for the New Zealand team as they fail to play patiently while protecting their wickets. Now all the batting is not experienced in terms of batting, the aggressive batsmen are out so the New Zealand team will fail to fulfill the lead run given by Sri Lanka in the third innings. Still, New Zealand's score of 315 will tie the match, and there is a high chance of losing all out before the 315-run target is met.

[Sithara007]

New Zealand is still trailing by 315 runs. Remember that they don't need 315 runs to win this match. They need 315 runs just to avoid the follow on, as Sri Lanka has one more innings remaining. This has to be the most disastrous performance in test match from the Kiwis during the last 4-5 years. I can understand that they are playing under hostile conditions, and some of the main players are not available. But it is not the excuse you would give, when you get bowled out for just 88 runs, chasing a massive total of 602/5 set by Sri Lanka.

Being bowled out for 88 runs, New Zealand could not avoid the follow-on, batting in the second innings for the second time, given the conditions of the match so far, New Zealand will be bowled out in the first session on the fourth day. We can't imagine that a team like New Zealand would be miserably all out against Sri Lanka.  Prabath Jayasuriya single-handedly upset New Zealand in the first innings and was enough for 88 all out. But it is a 100% guarantee that New Zealand will lose this Test too and the series will be whitewashed by 2-0.

I was very surprised by New Zealand's performance. I never expected to see such a bad performance from this team. The New Zealand team was relatively stronger than Sri Lanka. Kitnu then they are doing terrible performance in this series.

This is Sri Lanka's home series. We know that Sri Lanka will fully take the home advantage. New Zealand management should have formed their squad considering the pitch condition. But the New Zealand management probably didn't do that. So we saw a very poor performance from New Zealand in both the matches.

New Zealand's bowlers can't do well. As a result, Sri Lanka scored a mountain of runs. Sri Lanka team collected 602 runs losing only 5 wickets. On the other hand New Zealand collected only 88 runs. It is a shame for a team like New Zealand.

[Unknown Op]

The Sri Lankan team played a significant role in the Test match as they scored 602 runs for the loss of just five wickets, but the New Zealand team lost two wickets as soon as they started batting. The loss of two wickets by the New Zealand team is very unfortunate as the batsmen are getting out and the next batsmen are under a lot of pressure. The two opening batsmen, Latham and Conway, got out with only a handful of runs. But so far the batsmen have not been able to play any role in this match in terms of runs but have put the next batsmen under a lot of pressure. The New Zealand team has lost 2 wickets in 14 overs for just 22 runs, thus if the wickets are lost then the New Zealand team will lose this first innings by a wide margin.

Sri Lanka played very well in the Test match scoring 602 runs with 5 wickets loss. But New Zealand struggled losing two important players early means at 22 runs.  This puts a lot of pressure on New Zealand remaining batsmen. Or it is a big pressure of big score.
Unless New Zealand other batsmen do something amazing Sri Lanka will likely win first round. And still I am looking that Srilanka has have this match in hand and they can win easily.

To be honest I wonder about the performance of New Zealand squad in Test competition, their squad displayed worst performance in first match and now in second match against Sri Lanka squad. Second test match if still ongoing among Sri Lanka squad against new Zealand squad and Sri lanka squad has managed 602 scores in their first inning and these three batters Kusal Mendis, Kamindu Mendis and Dinesh Chandimal full supported their squad for managing such strong scores in first inning and gave full burden to batter of New Zealand squad. We see very weak performance from New Zealand squad side in bowling inning first and now their second batting Inning is ongoing and Sir Lanka squad lead this match with 315 scores and they also lost their 5 batter wickets. I don't believe that New Zealand squad will emerge victory in second match already they lost many significant wickets and their performance also not going amazing.

Although I was expecting something like that, but I'm surprised for the batting collapse of New Zealand. They have performed very badly. Without any doubt, they are going to lose the match by an innings. This win will help Sri Lanka to boost their position in WTC point table. Their next series is against South Africa, it will be a tough series for them.

Yes, Sri Lanka's performance in this series was so good that it got a lot of praise in the cricket arena. But New Zealand's performance could have been better. Never imagined that they would fare so badly against Sri Lanka. However, it will not always be the same in cricket. It is not inconsistent for New Zealand to accept the defeat in the first match. Because when playing on a new pitch, there will definitely be some mistakes. But it was beyond imagination that the same would happen in the 2nd Test. Normally any team in their home country gets some advantage but Sri Lanka is far ahead of New Zealand in both bowling and batting aspects.

The first match between Sri Lanka vs New Zealand was a competitive one. New Zealand had a big chance of winning. New Zealand would have been able to win the match if they had played a bit better in the second innings. But in the second innings, New Zealand's batsmen's performance was not good, so New Zealand lost the match.

But none of us were prepared to see such a strange batting of New Zealand in the second match. Sri Lanka made a huge collection of 602. We thought that since the pitch is batting friendly, the New Zealand team will also be able to collect big. But New Zealand scored only 88 runs. None of us were prepared to see such a strange batting.

Zakir didn't score any runs but he got off to a good start. He tried to play very carefully. But due to lack of experience, he could not survive at the crease. He was very patient. I hope if Zakir is diligent then he will become one of the most important players in Bangladesh team. We will see better performance from Zakir in future.

I don't understand how Zakir Hasan performed well in this match, that's why I couldn't agree with you. Played 24 balls but couldn't get a run how patiently it performed, but you notice the 3 runs in the first innings of the first match, and the 33 runs in the second innings. And if he collects 0 runs in the first innings in the second match, if he does not perform well in this difficult situation of Bangladesh, then how will he perform well later?

Second test game between Bangladesh and India was distrub due to bad weather Bangladesh batting first and made 107 runs with loss of three wickets only 35 over was played in first two days of game. Mominul Haque with 40 runs on the crease Only 35 overs were played on first day and on second day rain did not stop due to which a single over was not played and match totally distrubs by rain Two days gone and only three days remaining now it will be very difficult to got a result of this match because four innings remaining now. From Indian side Akash Deep takes two wickets while Ashwin took single wicket if game resumed tomorrow then Indian bowlers required wickets early on third day there are fifty percent chances of draw this test if India team bowled Bangladesh early tomorrow then may be result come out

[doomloop]

Not only Zakir Hasan but Bangladesh's squad is not fit to play Tests but they are fine till ODIs and T20s. Maybe Zakir Hasan played a little bit well in Bangladesh's test cricket in the beginning but in recent times his performance is not good but he is seen to perform poorly in most of the matches. Mominul Haque performed well in Tests in the beginning but now Mominul Haque is performing very poorly. Bangladesh are not really in Test mode, but when they start playing Tests, the nerves are on edge and if there is a batting disaster, wickets fall in quick succession, which has become a regular pattern for Bangladesh.

Test is real cricket but still never been easy for the all players and teams like Bangladesh, Zimbabwe and Afghanistan because these countries are having not proper 4 days domestic setup which give their players good practice and experience for having good performance with recently we are having huge decline in quality of few good teams as well because now mostly players are trying to have their hands in Franchise cricket which is giving better entertainment and money to them.

But still if few countries want then ICC is also needed to be active for this then we can have good improvement but with the business point view we are having not good things around this format so just because of this now we are having not good response from anyone just because of these things are going down day by day and players quality is also having huge impact due to these things.

I will say Bangladesh team is very lucky. The match was delayed for two days due to rain. And the Bangladesh team has benefited the most from this. In the first match we saw that Bangladesh team's performance was very weak against India. Bangladeshi batsmen cannot do well against India's experienced bowlers. So India won the first match by a big margin.

It cannot be said that Bangladesh started very well in the second match as well. Bangladesh team lost three wickets to collect 80 runs. And Bangladesh's collection of 35 overs was 107 runs with the loss of 3 wickets. And since the match was delayed due to rain, the chances of Bangladesh losing in this match decreased. The match is now more likely to be a draw. However, if the match was not delayed due to rain, India could have won the second match as well as the first match.

So India won the first match by a big margin.

On the first day, the first innings was played only for 35 overs and the whole day's play was stopped due to light problems and rain. Bangladesh managed to collect up to 107 runs for three wickets. But on the second day, the entire game was stopped due to rain, and due to the rain, it is very likely that the fate of Bangladesh is slowly going towards abandonment. Abandonment is much better than defeat, especially the three days that are still to be played, if played correctly, Bangladesh will be defeated in these three days.  Because once the wickets of Bangladesh start falling, the wickets of Bangladesh do not stop falling until they are all out.

This is not the first time that Indian abuse has happened many times before. We also saw a video of how the Chennai ground was abused in the first match of the Test series. Tiger Ravi said that when he came to the Kanpur ground to watch the second Test series, 15-20 people spread around him and beat him up. Tiger robi himself admitted that he was beaten but later we can understand that there must be some reason behind his denial. However, this kind of incident is not right at all, we strongly condemn it.

Tiger robi himself admitted that he was beaten but later we can understand that there must be some reason behind his denial. However, this kind of incident is not right at all, we strongly condemn it.

Now we are puzzled and don’t know what to believe at this moment. While I believe there are some aggressive indians fans who can do these things because it is not the first time. The same thing happened with Tiger Shoaib in 2023 world cup where the indian fans destroyed his Tiger in the Stadium.

But to be honest, I feel like this could be a drama from Tiger Robi. He got a sponsor and we know how shady they are. These people can do anything to make some money. I am not blaming him, It's just my assumption. I heard that guy is watching cricket matches but he visited india with a medical visa. Now, India likely take some action against him.

But none of us were prepared to see such a strange batting of New Zealand in the second match. Sri Lanka made a huge collection of 602. We thought that since the pitch is batting friendly, the New Zealand team will also be able to collect big. But New Zealand scored only 88 runs. None of us were prepared to see such a strange batting.

The 2nd match was a disaster for the New Zealand team. Sri Lanka made 602 runs and in response the New Zealand team were all out under 100 runs. This was a pathetic performance by them. Now they are trailing by about 250 runs and left with only four wickets. It is just a matter of time before New Zealand will lose these wickets and lose the test match.



Although Glenn Phillips is batting on 68 and is looking good at the moment but alone he cannot save the team New Zealand. We are on the fourth day of this test match, so the time left in this test also favors the Sri Lanka team. What a performance by them against a strong New Zealand team.

[JSRAW]

If you want to see what kind of politics is played between the State Association and BCCI then IND vs BAN is a fine example and one of the major reasons Test matches hardly bring audience to the Stadium.

Management and senior players were against playing at the venue as it was not fit to host a test match but BCCI couldn't do anything because there is retarded rule of "Rotation Policy" and UPCA has the blessing of Rajiv Sukla.

Need serious reform on the rotation policy and test matches must be restricted to only 6-10 Stadiums only.
