No thread so figured I'd start one.
Bangladesh about to go down 3-nil in the ODIs but a great century from Sabbir today.

That Bangladesh pace bowling line-up screams another Latham double century. Hopefully the can emulate the inexperienced Sri Lankan bowling line-up somewhat and surprise despite their inexperience.
Bangladesh are going nowhere if your practically 7 down and you have your number 9 totally clueless how to get in line properly, that was a farcical finish to the innings. You need to have a fairly solid batting squad till at least your number 10 these days Mitch Starc is our number 9 by comparison.
That has nothing to do with getting in line to a medium pacer. You either have the ability to do that or not.Their bottom 3 have played 6 test innings combined before today. Writing off their future at that point would be a tad unfair.
Notwithstanding it was an awful descent from the position Tamim had put them in

Bangladesh have a problem in that when their fast bowlers go on their first overseas tour they rarely get a second. There would be very few tours where even 2 of their pace bowlers have stayed the same from tour to tour.No, you get it coached into you and learn it.
These guys are brought up playing on silt-pans on the lowest pitches in the world. Expecting that they will just magically know how to get behind a bouncer that is coming at speed and not with tennis ball bounce, in their first overseas experience, is not a true test of their capability. Test cricket is littered with cases of bunnies who couldn’t defend their wicket if their life depended on it turning into decent sticklers as their batting develops.
And on the flip side probably just as many like Stuart Broad who went the other way.
Glenn McGrath is an obvious one. He couldn’t see out an over when he started and his feet were rooted in concrete. He worked at it and finished with a test 50.
In his first 54 test innings he lasted less than 10 balls 39 times.

This is pretty sad
