Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod]

On the first day, the match was not completely abandoned due to rain, but on the next two days, the match was abandoned due to rain. Tomorrow is the fourth day and tomorrow if the fourth day's play is abandoned due to excessive rain, but the outcome of this test match will create an uncertain future. It can be said with certainty that no team will win this match with the current situation of the game. However, this match against Bangladesh was very important for India to reach the final of the Test Championship, but due to the current situation of the game, there is a lot of doubt about this match. But still if the two days are played well then a good result can come for any team.

[Mahdirakib]

It was raining on the first day as well.
It rained on the second day too.
It rained on the third day as well.

No, there was no rain on day 3. The day 3 has been actually called off for wet outfield. The drainage system of 'Green Park' stadium is too poor. The match is completely heading towards a draw. On the other side, Sri Lanka has won the match comfortably. They are going to give a tough fight against South Africa in their next test series.

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.

New Zealand batted badly in the 1st innings as a result of which New Zealand fell far behind. So far in the 2nd innings, New Zealand has collected 335 runs for the loss of 8 wickets. Their batting line improved in the 2nd innings compared to the 1st innings. New Zealand have only 2 wickets in hand, they are still trailing by 179 runs. New Zealand will be all out soon. However, both Sri Lanka's batting and bowling lines are commendable. The Sri Lankan batsmen put up a great performance and scored huge scores. Prabath Jayasuriya and Nishan Peiris both bowled brilliantly.

What performance did by their batting unit and then bowling unit firstly they set a huge target then got them all on 88 and forced them a follow-on and to be on the crease again for batting and then out them again on 360 and won this game comprehensively by 1 inning and 154 runs a huge victory against Team NZ

Day 3 of the BAN vs IND match has been called off too without any balls bowled, it's been so worst if the first three days of 5 day match has been called off and the only thing can possibly happen from now is a draw.

As a cricket fan, it really disappoints me when there's no play on day 3! It's understandable to lose time because of rain, but losing game time due to poor facilities or bad local management is frustrating. There hasn't been any rain since around 8am, but the Kanpur Stadium management failed get the field dry. A draw seems almost certain now.

A frustrating day for players as well as for cricket lovers as there is no Cricket you will see either on your TV screens or in a stadium a poor drain system of the ground cause this delay and not even a single ball is played. Its almost going towards a draw and India won the series by 1-0.

The biggest gap was between the New Zealand and Sri Lankan teams, as the New Zealand team could not match the Sri Lankan team's first innings runs despite a two match performance. The Sri Lankan team performed so well that it was unbelievable as they scored 602 runs in the first match, but the New Zealand team could not hold on to their wickets despite a full performance in the two innings and were all out at the last minute. So this match was Sri Lanka's win with the biggest margin, Sri Lanka's best performance in this season.

[Publictalk792]

Sri Lanka's Test series win against New Zealand team will be memorable. Winning the first match of this series instilled confidence in the Sri Lankan team players which we saw reflected in the 2nd Test match as well. The Sri Lankan batsmen batted confidently which is why the team was able to throw such a big target. Kamindu Mendis's brilliant batting played a major role in boosting the team's total which made him the man of the match in the second test. He is unbeaten with 182 runs. It can be easily guessed that having such a player in the Sri Lankan team will be very helpful for the team in the future. Now we can say the Sri Lankan team is no longer weak in Test cricket.

Exactly Sri Lanka win over New Zealand in Test cricket is huge success. Winning first match gave team confidence which helped them do well in second match too. And you are right Kamindu Mendis was amazing scoring 182 runs without getting out. He was named Player of Match which he deserved. His great performance shows he will be important for Sri Lanka in future matches. This win proves Sri Lanka is now strong in Test cricket and this will improve their reputation worldwide and give them hope for future games.

The play of the fourth day of the second test match started a while ago and India managed to pick up two big wickets of Bangladesh early on. 
Mushfiqur Rahim and Nazmul Hossain Shanto have already got out and gone back to the pavilion. If India can get these two batsmen out very quickly with the two batsmen on the wicket now, it will be a challenging task for Bangladesh to score 200. India will definitely want to bowl out Bangladesh as soon as possible because if the 4 innings is not completed within these two days then this match will be a draw and India will not be satisfied at all if the match is a draw. India and Bangladesh have already announced the squads for the T20 series so we will see the T20 matches taking place immediately after the Test matches.

Bangladesh ended up scoring a small score while India is off to a great start thanks to Jaiswal and Sharma going ham. This match is still poised to end in a draw, but it's like a T20 match at the moment.

Haque played really well for his century. Let's see if India can actually manage to somehow defeat Bangladesh in this final test.

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.

For the test matches I completely agreed with your views about this because now time for having changes in mind-set and politics which are hurting the game and India badly we need only 6 to 8 test stadiums which can bring good audience, and we will have better results as well.

But, here we have strong case BCCI can't do anything because system is complicated, and they all needed to work on this which is not easy while for the IPL and T20i games we can use more stadiums which are surely good for the State Associations and BCCI both but again it's never been easy to fix these problems in overnight it's going to take long time due to many problems around this BCCI we are having and different political influenced peoples are also having their own interest as well.

These guys are just waiting for major disasters to happen then try to score some brownie points.

They knew it had a poor drainage system but still gave the green light on the rainy season. They could've opted for Ekna Stadium instead of Green Park, whether it's a historic stadium or not. If you can't provide basic facilities then you shouldn't get a single match.

18 ball 50 for team India. Fastest in the test cricket.  

Atm it feels like i am watching highlights

Ha! Fastest team 100 off 61 Balls

Bangladesh were eventually all out for 233 runs. Apart from Mominul Haque, all other batsmen's performance was very poor. Mominul Haque batted well and scored a century, he was unbeaten on 107 runs. India has come out to bat in the first innings, so far India has collected 145 runs with the loss of 3 wickets in 18 overs. India batsmen's performance looks like they are batting in T20 format. Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal shared a partnership of 55 runs off 24 balls. Yashasvi Jaiswal's performance was excellent, he was dismissed for 72 off 51 balls. Rohit Sharma was dismissed for 23 off 11 balls. Shubman Gill was dismissed for 39 off 36 balls. Indian batsmen continue to try to score more runs in fewer overs. I was surprised to see the performance of the Indian batsmen. India trail by just 88 runs. Let's see how many runs India can score today.

There is a very good chance that this match is going to end in a draw. Bangladesh was bowled out for only 233. Right now the third session of the fourth day is going on. only the first innings of Bangladesh have been played. India is playing right now and they have scored 168/4. There is not much time left in this match and I think India is going to try to score as much as they can and try to pull Bangladesh out and try to win with an innings difference. There is a chance of that happening but I guess Bangladesh will be able to defend well enough and draw the match.

India is literally playing aggressively. They are playing this match like this is a T20 match. if Bangladesh can make sure that they do not let India score too many runs too quickly, they are going to be right and draw the match. There is no way Bangladesh is going to win this match. So either way it looks like it is going to be a series win for India as they have already been able to win the first match of this series. Shakib Al Hasan has recently picked up two wickets very quickly. But even that does not seem to make a difference in India is still scoring pretty quickly.

It looks like somehow Sri Lanka has been able to perform really well. Which was definitely unexpected from them. In both of these matches, Sri Lanka played really well. if we talk about the last match, I don’t know about others but I definitely did not expect Sri Lanka to win with any innings difference. Chandimal(116), Mathews(88), Kamindu Mendis (182), Kushal Mendis(106) and Karunaratne (46) all these players have made sure that Sri Lanka put up a very big score on the total. The biggest surprise was when New Zealand got all out for only 88 in the first innings and in the second inning, they have only been able to score 360. Incredible performance from them and it looks like the test performance from Sri Lanka has significantly improved. It will be interesting to see if they can also show that same level of improvement in other formats of cricket.

The fifth day will be really interesting if Bangladesh get all out in the first and second session, if India can play T20 style then maybe Bangladesh can be defeated.
Arguably Bangladesh's worst player, Zakir Hasan, just got out and Bangladesh lost their first wicket by 18 runs.  As long as there are players like Zakir Hasan from the Bangladesh squad, Bangladesh Tests will never improve.

Boycott Zakir Hasan.

Sri Lankan cricket has seen great progress in recent times. Especially after Jayasuriya took over, cricket has not seen so many changes before. Under the leadership of Jayasuriya, the Sri Lankan team played against India, England and New Zealand series. Sri Lanka won the ODI series against India by 2-0. Sri Lanka won such a series against India after 27 years. On the other hand, the team also won a test match after a long time against England. Sri Lanka won the Test series after a long time against New Zealand as well. That is, since the arrival of Jayasuriya, there has been a big change in Sri Lankan cricket. It is expected that they will dominate in the upcoming series as well. The sudden big change in Sri Lankan cricket is receiving positive reviews in the cricketing world.

The fifth day will be really interesting if Bangladesh get all out in the first and second session, if India can play T20 style then maybe Bangladesh can be defeated.

That's exactly what is happening right now. India is playing in T20 mode currently both with the bat and ball. Jaiswal and Rohit gave them a strong start thanks to which they gave them a decent lead.

Ashwin already removed 2 wickets so far and is on a roll. Bangladesh will probably continue trying hard to defend as much as possible to force a draw.

[Out of mind]

Bangladesh team bowled out India for 285 runs today, although Bangladesh team is batting at the moment but their batting performance is not good. Bangladesh team today lost their opening pair in the beginning they did not bat well due to which Bangladesh is under a lot of pressure at the moment.
Zakir Hasan and Hasan Mahmood could not bat responsibly but got out quickly, I think these players are not fit to play tests.  Patience is definitely needed to play tests, but we have seen Zakir Hasan's batting performance very poor in previous matches too, so I think they are not yet experienced enough to play tests. Right now Bangladesh team has collected 26 runs and lost two wickets, Bangladesh team still needs 26 runs to chase the target given by India.

Boycott Zakir Hasan.

I did not understand why Hasan Mahmud was made to bat after Zakir Hasan was out? It must have been a wrong decision, because Hasan Mahmud is a bowler who should never be batted in the top order, unfortunately Hasan Mahmud got out for 4 runs off 9 balls. Mominul Haque and Shadman Islam both remain unbeaten, they both need to bat well. Bangladesh batsmen must perform well otherwise they will lose this Test too. 4th day ended with Bangladesh collecting 26 runs in 11 overs losing 2 wickets.

Bangladesh can at least play a session on the fifth day then with the consistency of Bangladesh's wickets Bangladesh will not take long to get all out. If Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin counter attack then Bangladesh will be all out in the first session. So far Bangladesh is trailing by 26 runs to level at 26 runs, Bangladesh will lose two more wickets. If Bangladesh takes a lead of 170-180 runs, India's victory will be assured if India bats in T20 style.

I feel same. Bangladesh might play well on day 5 to secure a draw, but India has played brilliantly, so it's hard to say the game will work on Bangladesh's control on the final day.
The most likely outcome of this match India will win. India will probably get a result on day 5, and it looks like it'll go in their favor. Bangladesh is likely to get all out for under 150, and India will have a target of around 100-150, which they should chase easily.

India played today very aggressively and declared his inning at 285 runs in a loss of just 5 wickets in Just 35th overs. Yashasvi Jaiswal played 72 runs outstanding inning by just 51 balls and Virat Kohli scored 47 runs inning from just 35 balls. kl rahul also batting well scored 68 runs from 43 balls. Bangladesh amazing spin bowling performance especially Mehidy Hasan Miraz picked 4 important wickets, just one wicket short in fifer but Indian food declared their inning. Bangladesh trail by 26 runs they loss 2 wickets in 26 runs at end of day 4. India needs tomorrow some quick wickets if they want to win this test match  

[JSRAW]

18 ball 50 for team India. Fastest in the test cricket.  

Ha! Fastest team 100 off 61 Balls

 

After the fastest team 50 and 100

Fastest team 150, 200 and 250 runs on the board.

Vada Pav & Co are chasing a result and if it happens then it would be a memorable and fast paced victory considering we lost 8 sessions to rain and a shitty wet outfield.

Bangladesh team bowled out India for 285 runs today

Correction: Declared not all out.
