But this is scary knowing that Fizz aint his normal self.

Hence two genuine pacer needed. If Taskin play's, good luck to him.
If I had to pick one, I would pick Shafiul, at least can add some value runs down the order, even if its 10+ runs..

1st innings Shafiul scored 13 runs.
2nd innings he scored 9 runs.
22 runs in total! deadly vital runs...

say whatever you like about his bowling... but boy sort of won us the match.
those runs were Gold!

But saying all the above.. he might be dropped..

Taskin has improved his batting he can get 20 runs too, his bowling helps out mustafizur more, and he's better than shafiul, hes had more drop catches than catches in tests, he would have had way more wickets if we could catch, Shafiul doesn't produce a single chance, taskin adds that pace and aggression

I'd rather go 1 seamer and Soumya than shafiul

Roy should have been picked ahead of both

According to tv news Momin in for Shafi.
I feel bad for our pacers in test cricket.
They barely get any chance to show what they can do.

Anyone from ctg? Is it raining?

[brockley]

Handscomb a chance to keep,Smith losing faith in Wade.

[aklemalp]

Mominul will play in place of shafiul..... The only change for us

[Tausif]

8.50am Warm welcome, all. First things first: it's bright and sunny and Chittagong. The rain and thunderstorm of yesterday has cleared, which means we're likely to start on time. Bangladesh are in a rare position from which they can call the shots. How they handle pressure will determine if this series ends 1-1 or 2-0. They've in the past taken a lead thrice and have gone on to win. But those were against Zimbabwe and a depleted West Indies.

[aklemalp]

They might pull a late surprise and just include Liton for Shafiul; which seems ridiculous, but has been done before.

[al-Sagar]

Toss in 8 minutes

[zman]

Did we win or lose?

[zman]

We won

[Shadow]

Bangladesh won the toss and choose to bat.

[Night_wolf]
