'Dale Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 Second fiver in a row. Handy player. Nice to see that Morne was in among the wickets as well! Sent from my SM-J200H using Tapatalk And runs too Scored a very useful 40 coming in for the 10th wicket
Mntboy Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 And runs too Scored a very useful 40 coming in for the 10th wicketYip aware of it. Morkel definitely capable with the bat but I think that I am far more pleased with his bowling contribution. His aggression and steeple bounce gives our bowling a dimension it has been lacking the last little while. Hopefully we will be seeing him in the green clothing soon enough.

Baldrick Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Sri Lanka 338 & 319 Bangladesh 467 & 191/6 Bangladesh won by 4 wickets I think that is Bangladesh's first test win away from home against a big team. Mntboy 1

Mntboy Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Fantastic ????????I am hoping this leads to more regular test matches, home and away. They really have become a decent, competitive team! Sent from my SM-J200H using Tapatalk

Sent from my SM-J200H using TapatalkThey thrive in spinning conditions It's away games with variable surfaces that makes it tough for them to compete.
Mntboy Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 (edited) They thrive in spinning conditions It's away games with variable surfaces that makes it tough for them to compete.More away games will see them improve that. Thing is that I don't see them being as weak as the current Sri Lankan team in foreign conditions. In fact if you look at how well Bangladesh did in the 2015 CWC in Australia it's clear that they will/can be competitive in such conditions. That however doesn't mean that they'll suddenly begin winning series but that they won't just simply be walked over, i.e. no easy/soft wins against them. Edit: Bangladesh lost a two match series against New Zealand in New Zealand in January. Their first innings totals in both matches were good. In fact in the first test Bangladesh posted a total of almost 600 after recovering from a wonky start. Al Hasan scored a double century in that match and with it his country's highest individual score. In contrast Sri Lanka struggled to get anything over 200 in the test matches against us.

LongDonkey Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 Awesome we won, but the pitch did no one any favors. A pitch that has a result in 3 days means someone did not think it through, or bowling/batting was up to nuggets. Great bowling to get 6 wickets in an innings (even on day 3). pitch had too much movement o flash at anything outside off. Wonder how secure Cook is feeling, at least he got to double figures in the last innings.....
LongDonkey Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 50 50 chance of Aus holding them off at the moment i recon. 3 quick wickets and it could change for India.
