West Indies v Bangladesh, 2nd Test, Gros Islet, 13-17 September, 2014

To be fair to him, his strike rate is the second highest of the innings this time.

Good overnight effort by Banger standards. Ground out another 50+ runs with the last 3 wickets then had the Ganjas 4-100 before Mr Undismissable Mon righted the ship.

Shivers gets his 30th ton... struck at 75 as well. Nugget.

Tamim and Monimul showing some resolve unlike Shamshur. Whatever was he thinking? One of the worst shots given the situation and start.

It's so disheartening that after a decade and a half in Tests, the Bangers are still no better than a Sydney Grade side.

Well done to Shiv on ton no. 30 and the feat of making undefeated 100 & 50 in the same Test. Remarkably, it's the 3rd time he's managed the feat.

128*/97* S Chanderpaul, WI v Eng, Lord’s, 2004
107*/77* S Chanderpaul, WI v Aus, North Sound, 2008
84*/101* S Chanderpaul, WI v BD, Gros Islet, 2014

WeeWeeEss (twice) is the only other player to do it more than once.

I say it again- F*ck you Bangladesh.

It's not like they don't have talent. It's a country of over 150 million people, the majority of whom are crazy about cricket. I mean- What is ACTUALLY going on with them? 

Their system is obviously shot to pieces.

Simple, they are stinking hot little nation that grows little people, not big fast bowlers. Ergo, none of their domestic batsmen face anything but half rat power seamers or spinners. So their batsmen are shit against anything above 85 mph and they don't have the quicks to knock over top sides.

And yet at least India can tear it up at home. The Bangers are shit everywhere.

They were cruising along at 2/150 when I hit the sack. There must have been a big collapse just after that.

The absence of Shakib from this tour was a huge blow for the Bangers.

Let's all laugh at Bangladesh.

WHAT KIND OF A PIECE OF $HIT TEAM WOULD LOSE TWO TESTS SO BADLY IN A ROW, WITH PLAYERS WHO LOOK LIKE THEY COULDN'T GIVE A F*CK, THE STAR BATSMAN A WANKER AND A FLOP, AND A WICKETKEEPER CAPTAIN WHO SHOULD BE REALLY BE DOING BETTER?

I ask you.

What a smashing.

Time for Scotland to replace Bangladesh as a Test nation?

... and yet they survived the pace bowlers and surrendered meekly to Benn

Does Saqlain Sajib have any ability? Obviously, the Zimbabwe A team are not going to be a decent guide, but this left arm finger spinner took 9/82, 6/50, 1/22 & 5/75 in the two match series between Bang A & Zim A.

His 9/82 is the best figures in first class cricket by a Bangladesh bowler.

Wasn't his previous best claim for fame knocking out Mushfiqur in a domestic match?

.

Ouch

wonder who came out of worse in that....

Probably Saqlain.

"The collision took place at around 1.30pm. They were given first aid but Saqlain was disoriented, he had memory loss. Mushfiqur was struck on the side of his face but he looked in better condition," Dr Debashish Roy, the BCB's chief medical officer, told ESPNcricinfo.

"Saqlain had to be taken to the hospital immediately for a CT scan. Mushfiqur was in my room for a while before we took him for an MRI. He has responded better and as far as I am concerned, he will recover quickly. But still, we didn't want him in the field."

Farhad Hossain, who was nearby when the collision happened, said that Sajib was struck on the left-side of his face while Mushfiqur's nose immediately started to bleed. "Saqlain looked in bad shape. He couldn't recognise anyone, but hopefully he'll recover quickly," Hossain said.

Before the accident, Sajib, the left-arm spinner, took 4 for 33 and helped Rajshahi bowl out Dhaka for only 116 in the first innings. Mushfiqur didn't go out to bat as Dhaka replied with 137 for 6 at stumps.
