u/Final-Tax6951

So Soumya isn't picked yet again in the playing Xi. Despite doing well in the practice match, despite knowing he playswell in a pitch which has some extra bounce and benefit in first hour of the game.

We might win this game, shadman and tanzid might do centuries but selections will never be justified. A guy you are picking only for playing practice matches? they did the same with rabbi, he used to be in the squad only to field as an replace fielder.

been calling out bashar, and we really need to say him goodbye. He is a fkin bias and chicken selector and causing us big time. nahid couldn't play aus, shamim couldn't play Lpl bcz he was reserved for a series but later he didn't pick him, hasan was called for asian games but wasn't played a single match while he could've been with kent. Shoriful is another unlucky who bashar sees as backup only while he should be one of our first choice.

I'm type 3, 23yo Male. I had a online job for few years and it was easy for me to stay hooked in the job and don't feel much lonely. however, since I lost the job, I feel so very lonely. Never had any close friend as an introvert and I used to consistently change schools bcz of my father financial condition.

Single and with some electronics devices to play, I sometimes feel very alone and depressed as I don't have any productive thing to do nor friendship to pass of times.

Bangladesh squad: Litton Das (c), Tanzid Hasan, Parvez Hossain Emon, Saif Hasan, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Tawhid Hridoy, Musaddek Hossain Saikat, Yasir Ali Chowdhury, Rishad Hossain, Shak Mahedi Hasan, Nasum Ahmed, Saifuddin, Shoriful Islam, Mustafizur Rahman, Hasan Mahmud.

Saif is picked as backup opener despite consistent failures. No miraz on a pitch made by gamini??? these selectors takes decision based on social media criticism it seems. even just as a spinner he was needed.

What's your overall thought in this squad?

Just like Bangladeshi man batters, Bangladeshi batters on women team is weak too. Been thinking for a long time if they will be a better batting unit had they faced more express bowling which will be more accurate with line and length. Also, you can take example of Suryavanshi who also got ready for international by playing against much stronger opponent than he was supposed to be, at the age of 13-14.

Could be the best shortcut for our women team to improve their batting. Their reflexes will be much stronger, nerves on check, quick into reacting to the ball, and will be able to face top pace easily on a women game.

Getting all out before hundred runs twice in a match, takes some mastered skills to achieve. They simply can't play any sort of swingish or extra bounce ball. It is clear as daylight and you have seen it on Zimbabwe tour as well.

Ashraful has to leave the team and we need to hire somebody experienced with such condition who can provide us batting drills, tips to negotiate the different type of balls in such condition, and a Plan B of batting if the first one does not work.

Everything was missing in the second match - footwork, leaving the 5-6th stump ball, negotiating late swing, temperament etc.

Also, our energy for second game felt really low. Players looked exhausted, only shoriful was in the game.

it is high time we work with our Pacers to improve their speed. You can't bowl at 125-130kph and expect to be threatening and take wickets. taskin and hasan clearly lost their speed after first innings in the first test and continued it in the second test. We need to see how to improve it otherwise they will be like pakistani bowlers, talented but so slow and eventually might lose their accuracy.

Just see the batting performance of Bangladesh team today. Utterly disgusting approach, inner fear crashed all of them.

We all knew this test pitch will be more like gabba where bowlers get good swing and bounce initially. Losing toss, batting first, aggressive field setup already crushed them all and they start gaveway freebies to starc under pressure.

the way mominul and tanzid give the wickets are catch practice. fuller deliveries with bit of a turn has been a known problem of bd batters and yet again it worked against shadman, liton, shanto.

Infact there was no plan B in batting despite seeing they are unable to play fuller length ball.

This is why teams like Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri-lanka stays below top -5 in any rankings despite potentials.

Hopefully, they will get their shit together and come back strongly in the second innings, which should be much easier to bat. Also, some player needs to go for the greater Good of Bangladesh future.

We needs to find mushi's replacement bcz he will not serve long and has been disappointing performer in both swinging conditions (Zim and today). In fact in the first game, he gave away his wicket on bit of extra bounce. Not saying he should be removed ASAP but we need to search for replacement. Shadman has gotten enough opportunities, next innings should be his last.

Souyma deserve some frequent chances considering next assignment of the test team is with Pace giants(SA, Eng, West india). and as 3rd opener whoever does well in current SA tour of A, emerging team.

Many isekai or non-isekai anime shows underaged male/female characters almost nake with their costume or just naked in general for comedy/romance/harassment/sex slave situations. I wonder why it is allowed? Aren't they supposed to be censored?

I mean yes, we viewers, are adults but ain't showing underage girls naked bit of encouraging pedo in society? I some sort of feel guilty of seeing it.

Just want to know everyone's and Japanese POV.

So, since we have win the match against Australia in Darwin I have been seeing overjoyed journalist, ex-players, media saying, it's fine to lose the 2nd test. We do not care.

This is a wrong mindset to have, we need to focus on being consistent with our performances. We had such miracle wins before, in the 2022 Newzeland test, ODI series win in SA, Asia cup final in dubai. However, we couldn't continue keep moving the momentum. That same cycle will repeat if we do not focus on being consistent on performance after one major win.

Let's not forget, we have capable players to shine in the second test as well, so why we are being careless? I'm not saying, we must need to win the second test but we need to show Good performance. A generational opportunity to banglawash Australia in Australia. It can open more doors to unlock series in SENA countries.

Let us think of the previous win as past and focus on the present. Think shanto and his co also understand it. hopefully they will be locked in with the mindset of writing history.

• The fire broke out at around 2:50 a.m. local time on the ​second floor of the hotel building and ​was brought under control within an hour, ⁠a senior police officer told Reuters.

While I don't trust NDTV flagging them as Bangladeshis but regardless, feels very conspired kill than an accident. 30 people were able to evacuated but 9 weren't? I strongly sus it.

Point of posting is, we should stop relying on Indian medical treatments and is high time now to ask government to facilitate all sort of treatment here in Bangladesh instead of referring them to go anywhere else(India, china, singapore).

More than 80% of Indian medical tourists are from Bangladesh, Nepal and bhutan. Bangladesh contribute more than 50% of it and loses more than 5B dollars from it's reserve annually. This nonsense must be stopped and make citizen life less hassled while boosting economy.

Edit 1 - Defending whether it is an accident or intentional killing will not change the fact that we are sending citizens to an hostile environment, making their life more terrible. Need to focus to solve the pain point of medical facilities. We are not the poorest country or among the poorest to be not able to give similar treatment what India, china, singapore provides except some rare disease/operations.

YES! WE DID IT. But i love the most that, we didn't do any over the top celebrations. It's a slap to these bias comms folks, and some aussie players like smith and starc who lost their shit in the game. Shadman and Mominul didn't even celebrate. Way to go!

day 4 will decide the fate, maybe we will never come this close to beat aus in australia. Gotta locked in by BD bowlers. Shameless me rooting for them after all the disappointment.

As per AI, Bangladesh has 52% chances of winning this, Australia has 36% chance and 11% chance of this match to be draw. I think Bangladesh chances will go past about 60%. If we can manage to put at least 50 more runs and declare innings after 200 runs lead.

Day 3 likely to stay good batting friendly pitch. Should not be much problem for us to score more than 50 runs if we can negotiate first 10 early overs. our captain needs to use heavy roller.

Tamim played an excellent knock, so does Shanto but Mominul knock is the tone setter for this lead I believe. He didn't let us collapse after losing the first cricket, put up almost 96 at first day stump without any foul play, strongly handled first session. His continuous strike rotating helped Tanzid to remain cool. Definitely missed out playing the only crap shot in his entire innings.

My prediction:

If Bangladesh can get 200 runs lead, I expect Aussies to give us a 150-170 runs target. It will be really difficult to score that in the fifth day but I believe we will not let this opportunity go easily.

Just share your feelings.
