Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod]

[Bd officer]

Bangladesh is back to its old form, lol.

Already lost 5 wickets for 12 runs. Najmul Hossain Shanto, Tanzid Hasan, Shadman Islam Litton Das, all got out for 0. I said in the previous match that someone else should be considered instead of Shadman Islam, but in this match too he was given a chance but he got out for 0.

Today Bangladesh started like Bangladesh and will probably lose this Test by an innings. I don't know how Bangladesh won the 1st Test but rest assured Bangladesh will lose this Test. I have bet on Australia. Will Bangladesh be able to score 50 runs in the first innings?

[As-Soon-As]

Bangladesh will lose this match alone because their wicket-loss situation is very dire. If Bangladesh keeps losing wickets like this, it will be difficult for them to score 100 runs, Liton Das, Nazmul Hasan Shanto, Tanjid Hasan Tamim, Sadman Islam, these four batsmen have scored zero runs. Mushfiqur Rahim is an experienced batsman, the performance he has done has really made the team face a very difficult situation, but now the partnership of these two batsmen Mehedi Hasan Miraj and Hasan Mahmud has been formed.

This partnership is the last hope of Bangladesh team, it is showing what they can do. I can say for sure that Bangladesh team is more likely to lose to Australia team in this match.

[Haunebu]

Lol! Bangladesh want to finish this one early by losing quickly and ending the series as a draw. Australia aren't really doing great with the bat either, but they are doing enough to ensure a win in my opinion. Smith and Green continue playing useful knocks these days.

Am not expecting the Aussies to bat again at all. Anyway, securing a draw outcome itself from this series is a huge win for Bangladesh and they should continue rejoicing IMO.

~snip~ Today Bangladesh started like Bangladesh and will probably lose this Test by an innings. I don't know how Bangladesh won the 1st Test but rest assured Bangladesh will lose this Test. I have bet on Australia. Will Bangladesh be able to score 50 runs in the first innings?

This is really a very difficult pitch to bat. Australia knew the pitch condition very well, that's why they decided to bowl first after winning the toss. The new ball was swinging a lot, and made it difficult for the batsmen to face it. Bangladesh has managed to score 64 runs with the help of lower order batsmen. Australia is also struggling on the pitch. They have already taken a lead of 101 runs, but lost their 8 wickets.

Judging from the conditions of the pitch, I won't be surprised if Bangladesh loses this match by an innings.

It's inevitable since they were rolled out for just 64 runs, and Australia isn't batting great in return either. That historic Bangladesh win blew my mind. It completely trashed a massive parlay of mine, so there's zero chance I'm placing a single bet on this match.. If Bangladesh can recoup and drag out their second innings, they could seriously trouble this Aussie team. Their batsmen are visibly struggling with form, and surprisingly, Cameron Green is the only guy showing any consistency.

Shoriful Islam and Mitchell Starc both bagged six-fors today. You almost never see two opposing left-arm quicks wrecking havoc like that on the exact same day. Truly an insane stat.

[WatChe]

The 103-run innings defeat was expected. Pakistan's batting was never the best, and this new lineup is worse, as expected. Imam-ul-Haq's highest score in England in Test cricket was made in this match. The way he got out in the second innings proves that he is not fit to be an opener. Except for Rizwan, none of the batters were able to cross 30 runs. But I expected him to stay at the crease throughout the day. Instead, his actions showed the least professional approach he has ever displayed.

EDIT: This is Pakistan’s worst side in 50 years

The telegraph is very right in its analysis about Pakistan team. They got whitewashed by Bangladesh followed by a draw against West Indies, how can we expect good performance from such a team against relatively strong team of England. Pakistan batting and bowling in this test shows that they are no match to England team and it will be a challenge for Pakistan team to avoid a whitewash in this test series.

[Bitcoin_Budha]

Pakistani sports, especially cricket, have always faced serious changes due to political influence. The current system is hitting them hard, and now they are one of the worst teams in all formats due to poor selection and low-quality players. Mostly they are having their spots in the team because of their links or bribes; this could keep them at the bottom alone. Babar Azam can't give them success as bowlers, and other batsmen have no potential to give support.
Series against England is going to be end quickly as first test ended in jus 3 days remaining will be also going to be have same results with no one is going to take any responsiblility Mohsin Nagvi holding PCB chairman office just because of his political links and remaining peoples are also have no enough professional approach to give boost to cricket which is only sport for entertainment in this country.

[Cointikka]

Lucky Australia that they won the toss and destroyed the opposition's batting lineup. I can see more ducks than runs from Bangladesh. BTW.. Is it overconfidence or good bowling? It seems Starc and Cummins were bowling brilliantly. It also seems they might have found their original form, which was missing for sometimes now. It also seems that Bangladesh batters were clueless about where the ball would go after they hit it. In simple terms, Australia will win this test match.

[JSRAW]

All these 56, 68 all out type of scorecards from the Bangladesh gives me hope that someday bang bros will make Indian fans happy and breach our record of 36 all out.

It won't be an easy feat but not impossible either. All they have to do play quality shit game like our team did but with dedication.

[Bitcoin_people]

Bangladesh played their first Test match brilliantly and the way they batted and bowled was impressive. However, in the second Test match, they played very badly against Australia and were all out for 64 runs, which is a shame for them. Every batsman who could have scored a good run was out, which indicates that Bangladesh will lose this match. At the moment, Australia is batting well, although they have now given a big lead by fulfilling the target, in that case they are the favourites to win this match. At the moment, Australia is leading by 101 runs, although they have done a good batting and bowling performance. They have improved in the second Test. Bangladesh won the first match, now it is pretty much guaranteed that Australia will win the second match, and if Australia goes to this match, the series will be tied.

Steve Smith gave strength to his team when his team was in bad situation and they need to stay on the Wicket and Steve made partnership in this match and Cameron Green also made Half century in this match which is plus point to his team. They have lose their 8 wickets at that moment but still they are strong because they have lead of 101 runs in this match. They should try to give lead of 150 runs then they will easily win this match but match will not be two sided because Bangladesh cricket team was all out at just 64 runs and Bangladesh team have won the first match of the series and they were super excited in this match and could not play well in this match. Lyon is trying to give support to Cameron Green who is looking in good form.

Ha ha this is a traditional feature of Bangladesh. But the good news is that Australia has already lost 8 wickets before scoring 200 runs. However, if Bangladesh could have scored at least 130-140 runs in the first innings, the game would have been a great fight. However, so far Australia has taken a lead of 101 runs with the team's reliable batsman Cameron Green at the crease with 151 runs. If Bangladesh's bowlers can take 2 more wickets in the short runs in the first session on the second day before the lead reaches 120 runs, then if Bangladesh can put up a collection of about 250-300 runs in the second innings, then Bangladesh will come back into the game and Bangladesh will have a chance to win this match. Let's see where Bangladesh ends up.

If Bangladesh win a game against strong team once in a while then in very next game they play disappointing cricket. Just look at scorecard of Bangladesh batting in first innings, the whole team was able to make just 64 runs. Aussies are very much in control of the match as they have got a lead of 101 runs. Bangladesh bowling in first innings was fine but they have very few runs on the board in first innings. Pitch is not ideal to bat but still Aussies have scored enough runs to win this match.

This is expected one, when the best team of the format gets humiliated in their own turn then they will come up with a fierce attitude and to make something up for their previous fuck up. But it was too good bowling from the starc, he made the batter clueless and got his fivfer in the first 40 minutes itself of the game that is some kind of performance.

First day and 18 wickets went back to dugout.

Looked like a lottery wicket and as expert calls it doctored pitch so that home team can exploit the conditions and draw the series. Oh wait, it sounds wrong because pitch is only doctored when it comes to subcontinent pitch and spin.

Death of test cricket if it had happened in subcontinent.

This is one of the main qualities of Bangladesh cricket that when Bangladesh performs well in one match, they will perform poorly in several subsequent matches. The way Bangladesh cricket team defeated Australia cricket team in the first test match, everyone could have guessed that Bangladesh cricket team would defeat Australia cricket team in the second test. But in today's test, they were all out for 64 runs against Mitchell Starc's fast bowling. However, Bangladesh might have been all out earlier if the last few batsmen had not played well. However, I will not say that Australia did very well because Australia lost eight wickets while collecting 165 runs. In other words, if Bangladesh had played well, it was understood that Bangladesh team could have won this test as well.

There is no doubt that the Bangladesh team was confident after winning the first Test match, but on the first day, Australia bowled the entire Bangladesh team to their lowest total. Australia batting performance also disappointed, except for Steve Smith. Shoriful Islam bowled a world-class spell, picking six wickets so far, and destroyed the Australian batting line in first day of the Test match. Mitchell Starc has broken the record in test match by becoming the first and highest wicket-taker bowler in the first over of 1st day. The good thing for Australia is taken a lead of 101 runs, and they still have two wickets left. I hope they can add 20 or 30 more runs to the lead. Now it remains to be seen whether Bangladesh will be able to take the lead in the second innings or will they lose the match by an innings and a few runs like Pakistan?

Expert opinion will take a U-turn when it comes to India.

They can't even accept that India is leading the cricket in terms of finance as well as with their performance so there is no reaon for them to show bias especially when they call themselves experts of the game not a particular team.

Still that fierce bowling of Starc in the first spell is a delight to watch.

In this test between Bangladesh and Australia showing very unexpecting results at the end of day one. Australian showing aggression and control in their bowling especially Starc was so crazy today and he lonely destroyed Bangal Tigers by getting six wickets. Bangladesh batters don't stay longer on wicket due to lethal bowling attack of Aushes so the main reason behind it, is the gracy nature of wicket which gives more bounce and swing than normal wicket so Starc and Commins get early on wickets.

For Bangal bowlers wicket showing the same response that's why Shoriful Islam gets six wickets early on but Australian batters have more skills so they survive more than Bangladesh batters on pitch. At the during day one wicket is just like a bed of roses for bowlers and for batters it's proves bed of thrones.

All these 56, 68 all out type of scorecards from the Bangladesh gives me hope that someday bang bros will make Indian fans happy and breach our record of 36 all out.

At one point, Bangladesh gave high hopes to the Indian fans, losing their 5th wicket for just 12 runs and their 6th for 21. West Indies already took the record away from India last year when they were all out for 27 runs against Australia. Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan all have the potential to achieve the feat.   

It won't be an easy feat but not impossible either. All they have to do play quality shit game like our team did but with dedication.

Like I mentioned above, the West Indies achieved it with pure dedication and were all out for 27 runs, a run ahead of New Zealand's all time classic record. Sri Lanka tried their best in 2024 against South Africa but were all out for 42 runs, ahead of India to achieve the feat in recent memories.
