Bangladesh historic series win in South Africa

Bangladesh has created history by winning the first-ever series across any format in South Africa. Bangladesh played very well throughout the series and was deserved, winners as their experienced players stepped up and lead from the front to guide them to victory.

Bangladesh is a very strong ODI side and one day cricket is their strongest format. The team is improving as a test side. Their T20 cricket is a bit of a concern as that is the format they are struggling with the most. As an ODI side, they are very dangerous and I'm sure they will be one of the top sides from the subcontinent that will be favourite to make it to the semifinals at next year's world cup in India.

I would like to congratulate the Bangladesh team on a historic series victory you were the better team in this series.

South Africa should take this as a wake-up call and look to rethink their approach to ODI cricket and also how they structure their team as they look to refresh and start an important phase where they play England, Australia and India in the ODI super league with crucial points on the line and also opportunity to qualify directly for the world cup.

SA need to look at players in red hot form in the domestic circuit and use them while they are still firing and not wait and play them when they are lacking game time due to sitting on the Proteas bench. Change is needed by the SA ODI team and it needs to be done fast.

All the best to the Proteas hope you can turn this around and get back to winning consistently in ODIs like you have in test and T20.

Good luck with the test series to both teams and may the team that plays the best cricket win. Hope to see Proteas players who are given the opportunity during this series grab it with open hands and perform to the best of their ability.

Proteas vs India 2nd test Day 1 review

The second test match between Proteas and India kicked off on a high note with the hosts putting up a horrendous batting performance on day 1. The Proteas team won the toss and elected to bat first, but they failed to make the most of the opportunity as the Indian bowlers wreaked havoc on the home team's batting line-up bowling them out for 55. Mohammed Siraj was the chief destroyer with 6 wickets for 15 runs in 9 overs. He was equally supported by Mukesh and Bumrah both taking 2 wickets each. The Indian team lost their first wicket early on, with Jaiswal departing for a duck. The rest of the top-order batsmen struggled to get going as well, and the team was bowled out for 153. However, a brilliant counter-attacking innings from Markram helped the home team to 62-3 at stumps to steady the ship. It was an excellent day for bowlers on both sides as 23 wickets fell for 270 runs. The Proteas bowlers, led by Rabada and Lungi Ngidi, were impressive after t...

Australia vs Pakistan 3rd test day 3 review

The third day of the third Test match between Australia and Pakistan was exciting, with both teams battling it out on the field. Australia resumed on 116-2 with Labuschange and Smith continuing to score steadily and take Australia closer to Pakistan's first innings score of 313. Labuschange and Smith added 71 runs before both Smith and Labuschange lost their wickets one after the other. Australia then managed a few small partnerships to take their score to 289 before collapsing to 299 all out giving Pakistan a first-innings lead of 14 runs. Pakistan began their 2nd innings in the worst way possible by losing 2 quick wickets in opener Abdulla Shafiq and Captain Shan Masood both for ducks. Saim Ayub and Babar Azam then gave Pakistan some hope with a partnership of 57 before Pakistan's batting collapsed from 58-2 to 68-7 to end the day staring at defeat and missing another chance to win their 1st test in 28 years. Pakistan last won a test match in Australia in 1995...
