Great counterattack by Rizwan.

Rizwan guy does fight , all his antics aside this guy is an asset to their team.

We have a rude shock waiting for us imo if we take them lightly. None of our lot have played long form cricket for sometime and in a 2 test series chance of getting ambushed is much higher.

 

I have to see how Rohit manages in Tests. Is he going to be the same slam-bang-go or will play with resilience.
Jaiswal is bit susceptible vs pacy bouncers at times, but when he gets hold of that he can play long inns at a decent clip.
For Kohli and Gill pure pace won't be a problem, bit of movement though and they will end up giving practice to slips. Kohli's backfoot game too has taken a nose-dive.

[deathmonger]

In reality, cricket should be dominated by Ind, Bang, Pak cause all 3 countries are cricket crazy with huge populations.

 

It is a 2nd tier sport in some countries and other South Asian countries have way lower population.

 

Issue is Pak's economy is so *ed they are not able to take advantage of their huge population.

 

In 20-30 years I see Bangladesh competing well vs Aus and Eng and way superior than SA, NZ etc. India will remain tough cause India itself will also economically grow (plus has 10 times more people).

Worried about how they handle spin more than fast bowling. Shakib is like Jadeja when he wants to be.

Angry young old man Shakib

This is a brilliant test match wicket. Best they have laid out in ages.

Pak cricket's problems started as soon as counties restricted overseas players quota. It wouldn't go away even with an impressive economy because those issues are structural and haven't been addressed. It's why WI went into decline too.

Shakib came to murder Rizwan.

Shakib has that Angry Awami league soul left in him

Rohit, Jaiswal and Jurel/Sarfaraz have to defend Gill & Kohli vs spin.
Pant, I'm not sure...he can swing either ways and either bash them brutally or will throw away with an ugly hoick.
Ashwin, jadeja too are good batters vs spin.

I can't believe someone filed a case against him while he was playing in Canada. Why will he murder a garments worker ? Showed his anger that day on Rizwan

It will be good test to India, they need to have tough battles before going to Australia. 
 

I would have never thought Bangladesh might be more interesting series .

 

Bangla batting is not great.

With a good economy they could invest in a domestic structure etc which simply is not there.

Banglas have missed Shoriful big time this game but then they would have dropped Nahid lol..

So that evens out

BD's batting barring Liton Mehedy, Mushfiq is lol worthy.

That Hridoy may get picked for India tour that would strengthen it up.

[Norman]

Don't think Toygers are chasing anything over 180. Liton and Mehidy won't save them everytime.

[YourBrotherLitton]

Persisting with Hridoy will be good also I would pick Jaker over Mominul. Kickout Shanto but he has backing of BCB president so that's not gonna happen.

Yeah, they're quite poor against spin or pace. Liton is their best batter and he needs to be neutralized. Our batting has an advantage though.
I would still hope BCCI prepares hard bouncy surfaces similar to Australia...our batters are leagues ahead in playing pure pace, spinning tracks is a lottery.

Somehow they become ATGs whenever they play India in a bilateral match. I still believe they’ll smoke India in a bilateral series.

All time Grandstanders, ah yes Parchistani Railu-kattas excel at that.
