C'mon, be fair. The guy is a better player than his stats show. But when I watched the highlights, I thought he was playing some risky shots and was lucky to some extent.

[The Outsider]

But is he better than Hammond, yet?

[achilles]

World's 2nd Best Test bowler??? Take it up your own azz, Swann :finger:

[Equinox]

Second highest run-scorer in Tests this year. 517 runs at an average of nearly 60. SR of 77 second only to Viru :two_thumbs_up:

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Dosn't matter, he's on his way to becoming a legend. Remember he helped England win the last Ashes series? And that's what matters to the English fans. Michael Vaughn is one prime example.

[Serani]

He beats Viru in the not moving your feet at all competition aswell, cant wait to see him exposed in England by Anderson.

[Mr. Wicket]

yes ... till charmness stepped in :mad:

:wall:

[vvvslaxman]

70's and 80's dont win test matches...........

Who said it is their priority :giggle:

[Serani]

70's and 80's dont avoid the follow on after the opposition pile up 600+.

[achilles]

In response to a few of your most recent comments, Serani, its Bangladesh for chrissake. Its not England we are talking about :winky:

[achilles]

Tamim is Bangladesh's Sehwag :yay: :aha:

[Mr. Wicket]

Bull sh it. Let him make a few 150+ scores that include huge hundreds against the world's best spin and pace attacks, terrorize several of the world's best bowlers and open consistently with an average even near 50 (let alone above), then we can make comparisons. Any kid can throw the bat around.

[Guest Hiten.]

Great, now that they are done and dusted with their very own Tendulkar; they have now unearthed their own Sehwag eh ? Scoring 85 @ SR of 120ish does not make Sehwag what he is now, but the ability to carry that knack for an entire day is what makes Veeru someone special. Tamim can barely survive 1 session during his onslaught and needs to start converting these starts into bigger scores because his middle order is not comprised of RSD, VVS, SRT; so his 80s would be as good as 20s or 30s because of their inability to pile on runs from thereon.

Bangladesh v England: Tim Bresnan drops anchor and England drop catches as Bangladesh hit back in Second Test Poor catching undermined England's attempts to push for victory on the fourth afternoon of the second Test against Bangladesh with opening batsman Tamim Iqbal dropped three times.More... Bangladesh v England: Tim Bresnan drops anchor and England drop catches as Bangladesh hit back in Second Test By Sportsmail Reporter 23rd March 2010 LATEST SCORE: Bangladesh 2nd inns 115-3 & 419, England 496 Poor catching undermined England's attempts to push for victory on the fourth afternoon of the second Test against Bangladesh. The tourists extended their lead to 77 in the morning session, though Tim Bresnan fell nine short of a maiden century, and made their first breakthrough before lunch. But midway through the second session Bangladesh were 73 for one and Tigers dangerman Tamim Iqbal had been dropped three times, with Jonathan Trott culpable for a howler at point. Tamim finally fell for 52 to a Stuart Broad catch off Graeme Swann but the hosts had already hit 86 quick runs by that stage. England added 56 for two wickets in the morning to close at 496 all out. Bresnan, who has three first-class centuries to his name, nudged his way into the 90s but was frustratingly short of three figures when he skipped down the track to Abdur Razzak and was stumped off one that bounced and turned. James Tredwell clearly viewed Steven Finn's arrival as a chance to open his shoulders and launched Shakib Al Hasan for successive fours into the on-side. Tredwell fell for 37 in identical fashion to Bresnan, giving Razzak a scarcely-deserved return of three wickets. Many batsmen would have been looking to merely survive the awkward pre-lunch period that followed, but Tamim has showed a fearless streak since the start of the series. Tamim produced a devastating 85 in the first session of the match and was soon looking to pepper the boundary once again. Dropped three times: Tamim Iqbal By contrast, Imrul Kayes has saw his stock plummet over the course of the series, a trend which continued when he was bowled by Broad off the thigh pad for four. England needed more wickets and Tredwell could have had Tamim on 15 and 26. Matt Prior grassed the first, a tough chance behind the stumps, and Tredwell himself shelled a firm return catch after lunch. Swann was not introduced until the 21st over having spent some time off the field and had a big lbw appeal turned down off his first ball. Tredwell was continuing to cause problems, coaxing Tamim to edge past slip before seeing Trott drop the simplest of catches at point to give the opener yet another life.
