Test match is something that is a traditional and landmark sport played all around the world. Not because it is the type of a sport that really could testify team strength and potentiality of a player, but many more. 5 days match is something else and it really shows why it is the premium kind of cricket.
Now coming back to the perspective, the truth is that Bangladesh is not the team that can really challenge big test playing oppositions like India and Australia. Rather it could say even more of how basic team performance can be geared up and enhanced to a degree that people could see a future in trademark cricket. Cricket is tough, but more importantly that as a test playing nations, there really are many more to learn and know about it.
I was looking for the match highlights, although it seemed to me watching the full 90 over match could spoil the whole day. But it wasn’t the case and I learnt that I should see the end of 30 overs. So I was there to watch the full match. Australia is comparatively a stronger team than England. It was a unique experience to look at how Ashes Cricket making an impact and then Aussies battling hard and defeating other nations in Test Championships.
Starc and Hazlewood are two dominant force of seam presentation for Australia, now they are even performing more and getting the good results too in the end. But when it came to performing against Bangladesh, their performance was below average and it clearly showed the impact being placed upon.
Australian Batting line up I suppose have had the best time when David Warner was in the opening side. It was a time of cricketing sensation although things have changed now. He is not playing for Australia in test cricket anymore and that shows a big gap, in match performance and also in results that they show to the side. Having no good opening pair could help the match performance to drop terribly and so it was for the Aussies in this match against Bangladesh.
I think Bangladesh performed exceedingly well against Australia, specially in bowling department. Hasan Mahmud took 6 wickets against the mighty batting line up of Aussies and that kept them really having no such big hopes to continue. I found that, all 10 wickets in the first innings really changed the momentum of the match.
It is a true matter that if a team and the players keep up the good record high of doing well in the first innings and then continues gaining good momentum in all 4 sessions in a day, the team really secures a win. That win could never be secured easily until there are a balance in match performance between two sides.
In either way, a draw could also be a sufficient matter to look at from the perspective of each team that play on. Test match should rather be played sensibly before that can cost a team to lose.More than other forms of sport, test cricket can lay an effective role in the developmental and foundational aspects of a team. Its the basics of cricket and that every team can grow its portfolio with it.
Anyway,its the end of day 3. Already stumps have been called on and that more other 2 days to be played yet. The next day,tomorrows match performance would be detrimental ; because not just it would decide the fate of the match, but how the both teams set gear of playing well and knowing each other as an opponent.
I wish a great day that is coming ahead too with it. Thanks for reading.
