Bangladesh v India, Only Test, Fatullah, 10-14 Jun, 2015

A chance for the Bannie top order to cash in, or have the Bangers improved enough to prevent the top 7 all from making tons?

does this match count towards the ICC rankings?

Are we excited?

I'm somewhat excited. I just hope the Bangla Dees can be a bit competitive. I suspect the bowlers will struggle but maybe the batsmen can show something.





Maybe my excitement is just a result of watching Golden Horn winning the Epsom Derby, American Pharoah winning the Triple Crown, Barcelona winning the Champions League & then spending the afternoon watching Yuja Wang videos.

Looks as though Dhawan is attempting to score a century before lunch.

And Bangladesh have brought in Litton Das to make his test debut. A 20yo wicket-keeper batsman with a FC batting average of 53. I think he is keeping & Mushfiqur is playing as a specialist batsman after injuring his finger recently.

Darwin FTBing it up.

If this rain keeps up, the Bangers might escape with a draw.


I mentioned this in another thread, but the news is so important that I will also mention it here. It came from the Cricinfo commentary -
1.20pm A bit of news for you all. It looks like India are touring Zimbabwe in July. "I can confirm that it's now a done deal," Alistair Campbell, Zimbabwe Cricket's managing director, has said, according to a ZC tweet. "India are arriving on July 7 & will leave on the 20th,3 ODIs & 2 T20s."

That's a strenuous tour for the Bannies.

the chance of rain seems very high for the next 4 days

No one can bash a minnow like the Bannies.

Shitcar is enhancing his reputation of being a ftb

Dhawan's still shit.

Good day for the Bangla Dees.

Totally restricted the Indian scoring.

Aye, good field placement.

Outstanding defensive captaincy. Chef would be proud.

Here comes the collapse.

Shakib weaving his magic.

6 wickets fell for 223 runs today.

Bangladesh well on top.

Good comeback by the Bangers.

A draw is not a Result?

Just got to see a bit of the match, they might as well play this till midnight seeing how dark it was.

As they wanted, the duty-bound test against Bangladesh out of the way....

a draw with maybe two innings out of four played is not a real result

India declared at their overnight score. Bangla Dees batting now.

Tamim has obviously been watching the ODI from England.
