Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod]

[Rabata]

Without any doubt, Bangladesh will lose this match. But we may expect a little comeback from them tomorrow. They still have 4 key batsmen. Mominul and Shanto should try their best to longer their partnership. Mushfiqur and Miraz are yet to bat.

Mushfiqur Rahim and Mehidy Hasan Miraz are two prominent players who are still yet to bat and current two batsmen still in pitch. Now the loss of confidence will increase frustration and the same time fall of more wickets. The mentioned players have a good cricket record and If they can show a bit better performance in the match then the situation of Bangladesh can improve a bit. Especially Mushfiqur Rahim is an old and experienced batsman of Bangladesh team, definitely Bangladesh team expects better from him. The South African team declared their innings with a target of 575 runs only to lose 4 wickets in 9 overs due to which the pressure increased among the other batsmen in the team. I don't know how the Bangladesh team will bat with so much pressure.

South Africa team came out to bat in the 1st Innings and scored 575 runs in 144.2 overs.Bangladesh team did not do well in the bowling line for which South Africa team managed to score so many runs.South Africa team batsman Tony de Zorzi was dismissed for 177 runs off 269 balls.  Tristan Stubbs got out with 106 runs off 198 balls. Bangladesh team's bowling line and batting line are very weak. Bangladesh team came to bat in the 1st Innings and now they are under a lot of pressure after losing 4 wickets in 9 overs.

South Africa team played their first bat turn in 2 nd test game and opponent team of South Africa team is Bangladesh. Bangladesh team already lost the 1 st game and in this game, all team effort was poor and lost by big margin. In 2 nd test game, South Africa team won toss and got a chance to take first bat or bowl and South Africa team elected field first. Bangladesh team Batsman came to play first bat turn but their bowling effort was not good and South Africa team made 575 runs in 1 st turn. Tony made 177 runs in 269 balls and hitted twelve 4s and four 6s. Stabbs also showed great stamina in bat and he made 106 runs in 198 balls and hitted six 4s and three 6s. It's very for Bangladesh team to win this game and they lost 4 batsman in start of their turn and chasing runs also quite big. Rabada took down 2 wickets in only 3 overs and gave 8 runs. I think that Bangladesh team also lost this series and they also lost past with India team.

I don't know how the Bangladesh team will bat with so much pressure.

Now at the crease are Mominul Haque and Captain Shanto. These two batsmen are quite experienced. However, these two batsmen of Bangladesh are capable of playing big innings. But the problem is that the performance of any Bangladeshi batsman is not regular. None of the batsmen in the Bangladesh squad are capable of batting responsibly, so it is not possible to say whether we will see better batting than Mominul and Shanto. Also Mushfiq and Miraz have the ability to play big innings.

Bangladeshi bowlers cannot do well in this match. Even after the home series, Bangladesh is not able to take any home advantage. This is indeed the failure of Bangladesh. Perhaps the Bangladesh team management is not aware of their own pitch type. This is why we did not see the expected good performance from the Bangladeshi bowlers. And now the Bangladeshi batsmen are also failing to perform well.

[LDL]

One equation that makes sense to me is how did Bangladesh defeat Pakistan with this Test player squad?

Bangladesh had won the first match as Pakistan made a mistake by declaring their first innings. Bangladeshi batsmen also performed well during then. They were lucky in that series.

Since Bangladesh fell by 4 wickets for 38 runs, it is anyone's guess as to how many runs Bangladesh can score tomorrow. Nothing good can be expected from Bangladesh for now in cricket.

Without any doubt, Bangladesh will lose this match. But we may expect a little comeback from them tomorrow. They still have 4 key batsmen. Mominul and Shanto should try their best to longer their partnership. Mushfiqur and Miraz are yet to bat.

Even then, Bangladesh has several failures especially in the bowling department except Taijul Islam. No matter how much Bangladesh try to improve themselves and show a tendency to build big partnerships, there is no one in the Bangladesh squad who can play long innings like South Africa. The match went out of Bangladesh's control when they fell by four wickets for 38 runs. Nazmul Hasan can't play calm long innings but has some confidence in Mehdi Hasan Miraj. However, Bangladesh batsmen should not be too confident because any unexpected incident can happen by them at any time.

[Bd officer]

That's what I thought. The pitch was batting friendly for the South African team but the pitch will become bowling friendly for Bangladesh. The reason for that is the failure of Bangladesh batsmen, Bangladesh batsmen need to practice hard. Batsmen like Shadman Islam and Zakir Hasan Hasan never seem to be able to bat well, they are given so many opportunities but they are not able to do well. And I don't understand one thing, Hasan Mahmud is a bowler, why was he sent to bat so early? He got out after playing only 7 balls.

Bangladesh lost 4 wickets for 38 runs in 9 overs which was not expected to be such a poor performance on a batting friendly pitch at home. Today there is some confidence in Mominul Haque Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Mushfiqur Rahim, let's see how well they three perform. But it will not be possible for Bangladesh to score big as they have already lost 4 wickets. Now let's see how many runs Bangladesh get all out.

South Africa did well on pitch that favored batting but Bangladesh struggled. This is worrying because Bangladesh batsmen especially Shadman Islam and Zakir Hasan have not done well despite many chances. And you are right it was confusing to send Hasan Mahmud to bat early and he got out quickly. Losing 4 wickets for 38 runs in 9 overs on their home ground was very disappointing. Now Bangladesh relies on Mominul Haque, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, and Mushfiqur Rahim. But coming back from this poor start can not be easy. Bangladesh failed to take advantage of good batting conditions which is sad. Their batting needs big improvement.

India A vs Australia A, 1st unofficial Test

I don't know if most people know that the India A and Australia A unofficial Test has started today at Mackay. India A hasn't been able to get a good start in this test. They lost four main players including the captain at 76 runs only. Ruturaj Gaikwad is leading the Indian side and he was out ona duck too. He usually plays for Chennai Super Kings but today he just looked out of touch. Devdutt Padikkal is batting on 35 and he is the last hope for the Indian A team to take them to a reasonable total.

Australian A are bowling on their home ground and all of them are doing a good job. Jordan Buckingham and Brendan Doggett were the two most successful bowlers who took 2 wickets each.

This one seems to be a preparation for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar trophy by both the teams. And right now, Australia has got a very good start. India A are struggling at 79/6, with Manav Suthar and Nitish Kumar Reddy at the crease. Brendan Doggett is the pick of the bowlers from the Australian side, as he picked up 3 wickets. For India, both Abhimanyu Easwaran and Ruturaj Gaikwad got out for single digit scores. Sai Sudharsan and Devdutt Padikkal got good starts, but they could not convert them to half-centuries.

Big one for India A

It's hard to judge the batting performance despite Aus A dominating with the ball. We have to wait for the second inning to be completed, but it's a juicy deck for the Seamers and the first tour for most Indian A players. Let's see how bowlers perform here, although Aus A batters should be alright as these decks are their bread and butter.

How it can the preparation of Border-Gavaskar trophy? That series will be between India and Australia starting from November 22. However, these matches are between the A teams and hardly anyone from the A team will be playing in the national team for the trophy mentioned above.
Also before that series, the Pakistan team will be visiting the Australian team to play 3 ODI and 2 T20 matches and the Australia team will get enough practice.

Coming into this match, India A have shown some poor performances, I do not know if they are unable to adjust to the conditions or whatever reason but when you will see the scorecard, you will be shocked. 99/9 is the current scorecard for the Indian team and they have failed badly in the batting.

[Bitcoin_people]

Bangladesh team players are so weak and bad batting performance that they are really bad. Basically I am at a loss to say that batting in a test match which is unimaginable, Bangladesh team has not improved their game so far. I could see from the beginning the opening batsmen could not keep their batting in and bat patiently. Today they lost one more wicket after coming out to bat. At the moment 5 wickets 46 runs in 13 overs. Looking at their playing situation, it seems that they have found it very difficult to play till 20 overs. Batsmen who are kept for Test playing are never fit to play Tests, I think fit batsmen should be taken for Test playing.

There are a few players who have been included in both the squads, such as Abhimanyu Easwaran and Nitish Kumar Reddy. Anyway, India A got bowled out for just 107, with Brendan Doggett returning amazing figures of 11-6-15-6. But in return, Indians struck in the very first over and Sam Konstas is back in pavilion. Mukesh Kumar picked up the wicket. Doggett hasn't represented Australia yet, but he is a regular with South Australia in Sheffield Shield. Do you think that he will be picked for the Border-Gavaskar trophy?

Bangladesh failed to take advantage of good batting conditions which is sad. Their batting needs big improvement.

On the first and second day of the second Test the South African team proved their mettle and scored 575 runs for 6 wickets in the first innings, which further influenced their batting prowess. Tony de Zorzi's brilliant innings of 177 was much to the delight of the visitors and his batting improved a lot. He could have been out when he scored 6 runs but wicket keeper Mahidul missed the catch which inspired him to bat more aggressively and he could regret the double century. Besides Tristan Stubbs scored 106 runs which was very much in one day style and he collected these runs in 198 balls.

The end of the second day was a nightmare for the Bangladesh team as their batsmen were in dire straits and succumbed to the South African bowlers and lost 4 wickets for 38 runs. It is very surprising that the players of the Bangladesh team are repeatedly failing to maintain their performance and it is almost certain that they will lose this Test by a huge margin.

Bangladesh didn't start the 2nd day any better and they lost back to back wickets right from the morning. they have not made 50 runs on the board and lost 8 wickets already. What are these men doing

I am sure South Africa will enforce the follow-on and if Bangladesh continues to bat like this, this game may be over today. There are all wickets falling today and the Bangladesh team didn't know how to go about it. It is only a matter of time as to how long the Bangladesh team can resist and then it will be game over for them.

I am very upset by the performance of Bangladesh. This team is not playing well even in home matches. I would say Bangladesh should not perform in any Test format match. Especially, Bangladesh should never organize only Test series. Bangladesh's test match performance is very disappointing.

Bangladesh bowlers are bowling very badly. As a result South Africa team collected 575 runs losing only 6 wickets. As South Africa batted well. So maybe Bangladeshi fans also expected Bangladeshi batsmen to do well. But in the first innings, the collection of Bangladeshi players was only 159 runs.

The important thing is that the performance of Bangladeshi batsmen in the second innings is worse. Their batsmen probably don't know how to perform on this type of pitch. Bangladesh lost 6 wickets in the second innings to collect only 70 runs.

Bangladesh were all out at 159 runs in the first innings and after the enforcement of follow on by South Africa, they played a similar bad innings and lost 7 wickets for 93 runs.

I think they will hardly make something near to 150 as they did in the first innings and this will do no good to them. They would be thanking that this test match finishes and they would never want to remember this series. I don't remember if I saw a more poorer performance by batsmen as I have seen in these two Bangladesh's innings.

[JahriMeayer]

South Africa won by an innings and 273 runs against bangladesh in their 2nd test match and thus they Won the test series. South Africa developed themselves a lot from previous match and they became aggressive in batting, scored 575-6 runs in 1st inngins and Aiden Markram declared the end which was right decision. We can see 3 centuries in South Africa squad, Tristan Stubbs(106), Tony de Zorzi(177) and Wiaan Mulder(105) and rest if players had a tremendous contribution for the team which proved how strong South in batting. Even bowling too cause they allowed Bangladesh to made 159-10 runs in 1st inngins and 143-10 runs in 2nd inngins. Kagiso Rabada hunted 5 wickets in 1st inngins and Muthusamy, Keshav Maharaj got 4 & 5 wickets respectively in 2nd inngins. I must say, they proved their ability once again by showing bowling skill. And what should i say about bangladeshi batsmen!! Mominul Haque(82) able to Scored good runs in 1st inngins but duck in 2nd inngins. Although shanto(36) and hasan Mahmud(38) did higher runs Among rest of players in 2nd inngins but their all effort failed due to their poor batting, bowling and fielding. Same thing happened when they performed previous test matches against india. Bangladesh team need be serious about themselves asap.

[Out of mind]

South Africa team won today's match by 273 runs to win the series. Bangladesh were bowled out for just 159 runs in the first innings and lost all their wickets, well short of the South African team's target. In the second innings, the South African team allowed the Bangladesh team to bat and scored all out for 143 runs, in which the Bangladesh team lost. The South African team did not have to play their second innings but rather they got a great win without playing the runs they scored in the first innings and the Bangladesh team could not come close to the two innings. The batting performance of the Bangladesh team could not improve at all, rather they played with frustration in each of their matches.

To watch Bangladesh's Test match today is to experience the scene of raining wickets. It is a test match that a team will be all out in 2 innings in just one day. In fact, the people of Bengal are very aggressive in enjoying the cricket of Bangladesh, but how will the cricket loving people of Bengal accept that Bangladesh will perform so poorly. If Bangladesh performs this badly in Tests, maybe Bangladesh will lose the eligibility to play Tests at some point in the future.

In the 2nd Test match of Bangladesh vs South Africa team, South Africa team won by 273 runs. The bowling line and batting line of Bangladesh team performed poorly for which South Africa team won very easily in this 2nd Test match. The bowling line of South Africa team was very strong.  Bangladesh team's batting was under pressure.
