So we are back again and we have a lot of things to talk about in this blog.
First of all we will talk about Bangladesh Vs Australia series.
This is 1st ever bilateral series between Bangladesh and Australia and Australia exposed badly in spinning conditions.
We were all thinking that this will not be an easy series for Aussies because they struggle against spin badly they are having a really poor last series against West Indies and their spinners Hayden Walsh junior and Fabian Allen were almost unplayable for Australian batsmen.
In 1st T20 Mathew Wade won the toss and elected to bowl 1st and I think that was 1st try to hide their batsmen against spin although they bowled brilliantly and restricted Home side to just 131 runs.Nobody looked promising from batting side except Shakib Al Hassan,He scored 36 runs and he was a top scorer.Australian bowlers were superb and they all bowled pretty well.
In the chase that was absolutely horrible start for Australia they lost Alex Carey on very 1st ball and they were 10/3 at one moment but repair work done by Mitchell Marsh and Wade but there was no momentum at all in the whole innings. Mitchell Marsh was the only batsman who showed some resilience and scored 45 run a ball but that were never enough to get over the line and Bangladesh hammered Australia by 23 runs and got their 1st ever victory in T20 against Australia.Nasum Ahmad was the star and got man of the match for his 4/19.
Australia is looking terrible at the moment and they have lost 5 out of 6 games in T20s.World cup also in spinning conditions so they have to find a way to play spin.Yes they are missing their key players but they still have to show something in these testing conditions.
Other series Pakistan Vs West Indies
Pakistan on the tour of West Indies and this tour has been dreadful for cricket.This is just ridiculous from the management of this series because there was rain in every match and it was just frustrating every cricket fan around the globe.Things should have been better than this we have seen this from ICC in WTC final that was the most important match but was interrupted by rain again and again and now this whole T20 series affected by rain this is just poor planning and not a good thing for cricket.
Because technology has been so fast and you should take some advantage from this because cricket is having the fans around the world and they should be frustrated from these type of things.
Initially that was 5 match series but due to Covid they rescheduled it to 4 matches and 3 matches were abonded due to rain and Pakistan won the only T20 to win the series.In that match Pakistan's middle order was also collapsed and they scored just 23 runs in last 4 overs.But their bowling was phenomenal they didn't give easy balls to West Indies batters and at the end Pakistan managed to win that by 7 runs.
This was the last home series for T20 star all-rounder Dwayne Bravo as he announced that World Cup will be his last commitment for West Indies.He is one of the greatest players in this format.
India Vs England
Another blockbuster test series will start today it will be a mouth watering contest for the fans.It will be start of another World test Championship from this series.This is 5 match test series between 2 great sides of test cricket.
When England visited India earlier in this year India got full advantage of home conditions and they prepared spin friendly wickets.Now it's England turn to get advantage of home conditions.The battle will be between 2 great players of the game James Anderson and Virat Kohli.Virat made a great come back in 2018 series with 593 runs in 10 innings after that horrible tour of 2014.Now it's time for another exciting round between the best in business.
England will miss Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer big time Stokes one of best all rounders in this game and he has been great asset for his side and he can win the single handedly we had seen that in Headingly.
So that will be a big space to fill.
