DSP becomes the best bowler of this century when it is against SL, he fucked them in Asia cup and he had extraordinary record against them in the last 4 or 5 years. But this time he did it with his batting ability.

He is very different against Sri Lanka, it seems. You should have watched how confidently he was hitting sixes. Even GG and others were giggling when he hit back-to-back sixes. I was sorry to see the spinner who bowled him getting hit by a tailender and that too miyan bhai.

Miyan has some aura around him when he comes to bat, full on swag for a tailender. He still swing his bat with his eyes closed tho, there used to be some meme him comparing with viv Richards and dude took it seriously and had exact hair cut for aura farming for few balls duck. 😂

I saw that meme, and at first glance I got confused when I saw Shiraz's face embedded on Sir Viv Richards' head  . Then later on realized what it meant. It was a reel on Instagram that I saw.

He did connected few in warm up match but i won't trust him a bit with the bat.

He'd do big service to team if he can even reach a level of Akashdeep or Bumrah, they are also walking wickets tho but sometimes do know how to hold a bat.

Siraj can be the best contender for tail ender, he just swag the ball from the very first ball and often he fail to read the situation, like if there is a batter at other end the sensible thing to do is to hold one end and let the game slide further but India's tail is one among the worst when it comes to contributing runs for the scorecard.

I would not say it is the worst, as there are several matches in recent years where the tail helped India and actually rescued or won matches. Take the famous innings by the tail for the 9th wicket at Lord's, that same year at the Gabba, and another at Sydney—there are just too many matches to list everything. Rishabh Pant usually bats along with the tail most of the time. While the retirements of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja leave a huge dent, you still cannot call India's tail the worst.

Just two days are left, and then the series will start between Australia and Bangladesh.

By the way, I think this is the chance for Bangladesh to gain momentum back, and they have to do it, it might seem hard, but it's still possible. After losing the tour game against Zimbabwe, they need to make a comeback and raise their test standards again.

Also this year, Bangladesh achieved many achievements, like beating Pakistan in tests as well as New Zealand and also other big names.  So they have done that, and they have been there, now they need to be motivated for the next games.

Bangladesh's Test achievement will be zero because Bangladesh lost the Test against Zimbabwe by an innings and we will see the same result in the Australia series where Bangladesh will lose by an innings. It should be noted that in the three-day warm-up match, Bangladesh was all out for 55 runs in the second innings and in one of these three-day matches, Bangladesh lost by an innings. It should also be noted that no player from the original squad was present in the Australian squad, meaning that even without the original XI players, Bangladesh lost to Australia by an innings.

This year, Bangladesh has achieved many achievements, but also made some embarrassing performances. Bangladesh has lost badly in Tests against teams like Zimbabwe. So can we expect anything good against Australia?
Yes, Bangladesh also defeated the New Zealand team but that was not the main squad of New Zealand.

Everyone who understands cricket and is aware of the current performance of the Bangladesh team, believes that Bangladesh will lose against Australia. I also 100% believe that Bangladesh will lose, but I want Bangladesh not to lose by an innings. We have been seeing bad performances from Bangladesh batsmen for a long time, so they need to improve here. If Bangladesh can win, then history will be made, but that is not possible for Bangladesh. Anyway, there are only 12 hours left for the match to start.

Both teams will play test series of 2 matches and both teams have full potential to beat opponent team. Mushfiqur Rahim have a experience of test cricket format also because he has good technique and can play in every situation.

But Bangladesh test cricket team have to give their full effort to be dominant on Australia as Aus has most of the players who did not play test cricket and they will play against Bangladesh but they can perform well against Bangladesh because Ban Moral is very down at that moment And players are not selected on merit and their team is looking very weak. If Najmul Hossain Shanto will make strategy to beat Aussie then they can win this series but most of the chances of that series of draw because when Bangladesh will beat big team they will be super excited and after that they will lose next  match.

At home, Bangladesh is a really strong team that can challenge even the top teams. This year, they defeated Pakistan in both Tests and ODIs, and won series against New Zealand and Australia at home, but they are not the same while touring.

The biggest issue for Bangladesh is easily the injuries to their main bowling unit. Having guys like Rana, Shoriful, and Tanzim Sakib missing is brutal, because those are exactly the type of quicks who could cause trouble on fast Aussie tracks. Now they're also missing Mushfiqur's experience, while Litton and Taijul are just getting back into the squad from the injury ward. Honestly, against a full-strength Australian lineup, it’ll be a miracle if this Test match even lasts more than three days.

Bangladesh might have played a little better, especially if they had included Nahid Rana in their squad. Moreover, the performance of the batsmen is quite disappointing compared to the bowlers of Bangladesh. If a team does not have a balance between batting and bowling, then that team cannot do well, for example, in the case of Bangladesh, the bowlers may also perform somewhat well, but the performance of the batsmen is quite poor, due to which Bangladesh may be all out on the first day of today's Test. We saw the poor performance of the Bangladesh batsmen in the warm-up match where Bangladesh was all out for 55 runs in their second innings.

Bangladesh's bowling unit was good in the past and I have no complaints about Bangladesh's bowling unit at present. Where is the complaint? Bangladesh's batting unit is not good.

Honestly, Bangladesh's bowlers have done better than I expected, I did not think that Australia would lose 7 wickets in 172 runs. Today, Nahid Rana's absence is not having much impact, because Ebadot, Hasan Mahmud and Taskin are doing well, but if he had been there, things could have been different. Among Australia's main batsmen, Steve Smith is unbeaten. If Steve Smith gets out, Australia will be all out quickly. I think it may be difficult for Australia to make 250 plus.

But I am thinking that Australia's batsmen could not survive on this pitch, can Bangladesh's batsmen survive there?
AUS: 172/7

[Cointikka]

Looks like Australia underestimated Bangladesh's bowlers and were confident they would get a big run score. They even won the toss and chose to bat first. In the meantime, Bangladesh came up with a strategy and destroyed Australia's batters. 8 wickets gone, with 180 runs on the scoreboard. They bowled well; I hope they bat well too. Steve Smith is still batting and is now the only recognised batter from Australia who has the biggest responsibility to get his team to a decent score.

EDIT: Smith out and I think it will be hard for Australia every to get to 200 runs.

Well, Australia got all out in just 198 runs. It is both surprising and unexpected as they are playing with their strongest squad. Bangladesh has ended day 1 by losing 1 wicket only and scored 96 runs. The match looks completely in favour of Bangladesh at this moment. But it is known to everyone that the batting line-up of Bangladesh may collapse dramatically anytime. I doubt that Bangladesh will manage to take a good lead in the first innings.

As we thought but the situation on the field is completely different.

No one thought that Australia would be all out for 198 runs. Hasan Mahmud single-handedly destroyed the Australian batting order. Hasan Mahmud bowled the best bowling of his Test career.

Meanwhile I think I am dreaming because at the end of the first day Bangladesh scored 96 runs for the loss of 1 wicket in 24 overs and are 102 runs behind Australia. Yes your thinking is right because there are many records of Bangladesh losing 5-6 wickets by a margin of 20-30 runs. But if Bangladesh can use the opportunity and score 250-300 in the first innings then Bangladesh will be a bit of a favorite.

Shadman Islam batted badly against Pakistan and could not do well against Zimbabwe either. He was out for just 20 runs today too, so someone else should be considered in his place in the next Test.

[Out of mind]

Australia batted in their first Test match against Bangladesh and were all out for just 198 runs in the first innings. The batting performance of the Australian team was not good at all in this match due to which they were out very quickly against Bangladesh. So the bowling performance of the Bangladesh team was very good, especially Hasan Mahmud, he bowled exceptionally well due to which he collected 6 wickets. Moreover, all the other batsmen could not do well and Australia's Steven Smith was the only good batting performance due to which the runs of the Australian team increased. However, the Bangladesh team started batting very well in the first innings. The way they are batting, they can easily meet the target of Australia. At the moment, the team has lost only one wicket but they are batting with enough patience. If the Bangladesh team bats like this, the target will be met very easily and give a big lead.

Bangladesh team has done such a good bowling performance in today's match that the strong team in Australia has collapsed very easily. But the players of the Australian team are not in form at the moment, because their batting performance is crazy. If the Bangladesh team can bat patiently, then they will definitely be able to ensure victory, but what I expected has been completely opposite.
Whereas if the Australian team could give a big run target, it would have been very challenging for the Bangladesh team to win the match, but victory has become an easy goal for the Bangladesh team.

[libert19]

I wasn't even aware of the series going on, I just opened Hotstar and saw tagline with Bangladesh having an upper on AUSTRALIA! So, I had to watch the highlights and yes, Aussies fucked up a bit in first innings, but I wouldn't call match dusted.

Despite my own thinking, I still thought the scenario might have influenced odds a bit and AUS just might have gotten better odds, so I can bet on 'em but nah. Still a proper favorites at 1.35 odds.

If I support the Bangladeshi team as a Bangladeshi, But I already bet on Australia, thinking that Australia will win against Bangladesh in this match. Because I was confident that the Bangladesh team will be defeated very easily in this match as they don't have any players who can play good long innings. At the same time, another reason is that the Bangladesh team has won very rarely abroad, they only play well sometimes on the Mirpur home ground, and it was normal to think like that they would lose when the opponent is the Australian team.

Now it remains to be seen if the Bangladesh batting line-up returns to its usual form; then only the Australian team will have a chance of winning this match. Hope you understand what I mean lol

It is really unbelievable! A weak Test team like Bangladesh bowled out for 198 runs against a strong team like Australia. It is also worth mentioning that this is a shame for Australia to be bowled out in just two sessions against a weak team like Bangladesh on Australian soil. Also, Bangladesh has scored 96 runs for the loss of only 1 wicket while they are currently trailing by 102 runs. If Bangladesh can bat for the whole day tomorrow, then it can definitely be said that Bangladesh will take a big lead. Bangladesh has performed incredibly well today, which is more than we expected.

Bang bros got belted by zimbabwe by an innings and they took it personally and now humiliating australia. 😂

Didn't help the fact it's their first test tour after 2 decades. Ffs Nahid isn't in team, he'd have been nightmare for Aussie here.
