Good luck

[bujhee kom]

Bangladesh opt to bowl at the toss

[aklemalp]

Taijul is in; Rubel is out

[Rifat]

No more Tests for Rubel Hossain EVER! He has lost that right.

[al Furqaan]

Rabbi is only marginally better than Rubel. OK he's a lot better, but still sucks.

[roman]

WI Should bat for 3 days

[bujhee kom]

Jege Utho Bangladesh!
Ekta kichu koro bangladesh!

I remember Rabbi got 2 top order NZ wickets in NZ in one test match in one over. Granted, the pitch had assistance but it shows that he has what it takes...

[mufi_02]

shob dekhi luichar moton thiki lukiye lukiye ei test follow korchen..lojja shorom kisu thaka dorkar. me guilty as well

[Night_wolf]

I support my Bangladesh..but I dont support these players..they should be humiliated beyond their dreams.

But these gondarer chamra people dont feel any humiliation. Its Bangladesh that gets humiliated

[aklemalp]

So Bishoo gets dropped...is replaced by Shimron.

Roach is replaced by Keemo.

Two of the boys from the winning U-19 team 2016.

Effectively, we have four bowlers in this game. Expect to see Chase and Kraigg bowling much in this match.

[DMan]

WI needs to make 400+ in 1 day and perhaps 2 sessions and put in bangladesh to bat, hopefully they are bowled out twice in quick succession so we can watch the football final.

[DMan]

The ball is already starting to turn square on day one. That was definitely a bad decision to drop Bishoo on this surface. The Wi selection team lacks any sort of brains.

Meanwhile from BCB,

We have a new fielding coach in Ryan Cook

Good Miraz

8.1
W
Mehidy Hasan Miraz to Smith, OUT, full on leg stump, and Smith mistimes the flick down the leg side. Takes the bat's outside edge, and pops up in the air. Short leg races backwards - with his helmet still on - and takes a catch from over his shoulder
DS Smith c Liton Das b Mehidy Hasan Miraz 2 (22b 0x4 0x6) SR: 9.09

[One World]

New man in - Powell

[DMan]

I don't think WI can stand up to this spin bowling assault especially on this pitch. Looks like Bangladesh might finally get a one up on us here.

[One World]

It is Nelson with a slash

11/1

I don't know why they kleep selecting Smith and yet they dropped Bishoo on a far better surface for spin bowlers. These WI selectors we have are complete morons.

[One World]

Meanwhile series is over for wonder boy Shafiul

WI just needs to survive this moisture, after that its easy runs

Nah if you've been following WI we normally don't survive well at all in adverse conditions. We tend to collapse.
