Strange how even after being the story, Bangladesh are still bit part actors on someone else’s stage.
Thoughts on the Darwin Test and its aftermath.

Bangladesh's Darwin Triumph Demands More Than Australia’s Humiliation - TheCricHub thecrichub.com/bangladeshs-d…
Stumps Day 2: WI 134-4 (48 ovs) trail by 138.
Greaves and Chanderpaul put on a partnership to stop the rot.
11 wkts fell on a another shortened day. WI began the day brightly but a stiff task for the batters to not concede an innings lead.
#BANvsWI
Wickets tumbling after the rain break.
Miraz makes the initial breakthrough and then two in an over from Taijul. Jangoo trying to slog sweep his 3rd ball is caught in the deep.
Frenetic stuff from WI batters.
WI 100-4 (36.2 ovs)
#BANvWI
Tea: Players go off for bad light so it’s an early tea.
After a couple of lives, Campbell and Chanderpaul have built a solid partnership.
All three Bangladesh spinners have bowled, with Miraz looking the most threatening.
WI 89-1 (27 ovs)
#BANvWI
If ever there was a typical Hasan Mahmud wicket taking delivery, the one that got King was it. Seems like WI batters haven’t seen the videos.
After a bright start WI 29-1 (5.3 ovs)
#BANvWI
Day 2 lunch: B’desh 272 all out
West Indies take 7 wkts in the session to get themselves right back into this. Apart from a battling 34* from an injured Litton it was a procession.
Warrican picks up 5 wkts and even Jangoo catches a couple.
#BANvWI
Bishop goes bang-bang early on day 2. He gets his first two Test wickets but celebrates like he’s already taken 200.
Bangladesh suddenly on the back foot, last pair of proper batters out there and the new ball available.
Ban 233-5 (81 ovs)
#BANvWI
Stumps Day 1: Bangladesh 213-3
Hridoy’s injury and bad light make it a scrappy end to the day.
Shadman’s 99* the story of the day, he’s batted all day and held things together.
The lack of real quality in the WI spinners was apparent and could well decide the series.
#BANvWI
Tea: Bangladesh 176-3 (59 ovs)
Good session for B’desh, Shanto the only wicket to go. Shadman hasn’t been fluent, but he’s still there and building a decent partnership with Hridoy.
Spinners did the bulk of the work in that session for WI, for no real reward.
#BANvWI
Lunch: Bangladesh 96-2, they have their noses ahead and it looks like a decent toss to have won.
Weird that Seales & Joseph went off after 5 over spells and didn’t bowl again.
#BANvWI
West Indies change bowlers releasing the pressure after a cracking first ten overs from Seales & Joseph.
Bangladesh 34-1 (13 ovs) at drinks
#BANvWI
Bangladesh win the toss and bat.
The big news for Bangladesh is that Hridoy comes in for Mushi. They play 3 spinners as expected.
Bishop makes his debut for WI. Jangoo is the keeper.

‼️Do not fly Air Arabia! @airarabiagroup
Flew from London to Dhaka via Shahjah, they lost my luggage.
After 3 days of many calls / emails / visits to their office, nothing has happened.
Experienced a level of service that’s beyond poor.
