Nice thread Zee bro. best of luck to Tigers.

[Vepu]

too much bromance in this thread ffs.......yuck

[aklemalp]

Then again, if no play...then the bromance will continue.

It's the rains that will keep us together

[aklemalp]

Who schedules a test match to start on a monday?

This is rather bizarre

[aklemalp]

The preview:

Defeat in Chittagong would see Australia will drop to sixth on the ICC Test rankings, their lowest position on the table since it began in 2003. A win or draw would slip them down from fourth to fifth. Bangladesh will climb from ninth to eighth with a win or a draw.

Nice! Clean, uncluttered and informative match thread.

Best of luck to both teams.
Hoping for a good, competitive match of cricket, good weather, good pitch and a good crowd.



Viva Chittagong!

I really hope we win the next test also. Hetmyer just cracked am unbeaten century at more than a run-a-ball in the practice match. He will most likely replace Kyle Hope.

I don't know how BD will fare in England. For one, their spinners will be less effective. They need to invest in the pacers. For the umpteenth time, Walsh should be replaced.

I'll drop Shabbir for Mominul at least. I'll still keep Nasir. Bangladesh have to bat a lot better. Batsman other than Tamim and Shakib need to contribute. I'll also consider using only one pacer for this 2nd test, and go in with an extra batsman.

Yes, need Nasir for that extra bowling option. Should be a no-brainer

Thanks Habib and BK. Congrats Tanvir_nus on your newborn.

Can anyone from Chottogram (Chatga?) confirm us how bad the weather really is? Is it really dark and cloudy?

Did Mushy just say "readed"? Really unfortunately for someone with a four digit IQ...

Looks like Hathuru is planning to drop one pacer to bring Momin in. Rest of the team will stay the same.

Sorry. But what kind of English is this?

The hosts Bangladesh have been thrashed the visitors by 20 runs

[Eshen]

^^ This is an amateur fan news reporting site. They are doing a pretty good job with their limited resources and skills, I would say.

[aklemalp]

How about we sticky it now?

Last time Aussies played at this venue, this happened:

How good is Handscomb as a keeper?

Australia taking risks.

I don`t understand why they need to celebrate their Eid and go for off days in between the series when the time gap between the two match is very little. They are on a mission and they need to concentrate this as a project before it ends

Relaxing some times works like magic! No need to sweat for nothing!!

Comeon Zee, it's cool to use modern American Spoken English!

Agree.

Kp-da could you please do me a favor? Could you please insert a comma after September 4 and add |ZACS at the end of the title?

Thank you.

That's why you don't see me much here posting, but I do visit and try to read as much as I can and hopefully will post more here. Followed the last test match closely as I was on parental leave.

Congrats Tanvir! A wonderful news indeed. Enjoy your time...
