Lost 7 wicket for 24 runs

dhoni delighted - The picture shows one of the wicket fall. Indian skipper MS Dhoni jumped like this when Ashraful was dismissed.

We all have seen the Bangladesh performance on the 4th day of second test against India. Bangladesh did a good job at the stumps on 3rd day. It was anticipated that they will give a reasonable total for India to chase. When they started today it seem as if Indian had to bat well to win the test match. But it was the firing spell of Zaheer who claimed 4 wickets today and finished with 7 wickets which made it possible for India to have a 10 wicket victory. The matter of concerned is that Bangladesh lost their last 7 wickets for just 24 runs. Well the way they played in the series, I think they don't deserved this thing to happen with them.

yes zaheer bowled brilliantly today. his bowling was the reason for indias victory. as a senior bowler he bowled very well. before going to SA its a needed perfomance from the bowling department to keep india going well in the series against SA.

Yes sanjeev, you are right the way bangladesh played is quite good to praise but one thing was sure that bangladesh will get a clean sweep, but after playing good cricket this kind of defeat is quite disturbing for them. hope they will do better next time at new zealand.

Yes I agree they are improving day by day. But something don't go their way. On day three Tamim played a stunning knock. In first test Mahmadullah and Mushfikar Rahim played good knocks which should have boosted their confidence but it didn't happened they both failed to make good score in the second match. They are their key players in the middle order. Even Ashraful is not been in his good form but still he is in the team because of his reputation. Once their key players will perform then they will do great in cricket.

Dear sanjeevsingh, I really do agree with you. I loved the way Tamim Iqbal batted yesterday and Bangladesh were in a commanding position with Tamim Iqbal scoring 151. But today, I come back from college and to my utter astonishment, I see that Bangladesh all out for 312! Zaheer's bowling were also good and India's bowling department has been improving over the months!

If i will say truth then ICC should think about Bangladesi Test Starus. If they can ordinary and very poor cricket in their Home then what we can more expect from them. it was completely shameful cricket. they have been in the international cricket from last 20 yrs so now they must think. Out of more than 60 test won only 2 ........HOW IT LOOK ? Only 3 or 4 player has done proved their Maturity As a International Player. I don't understand that what Mohammad Ashraful is doing in the cricket . he should leave the cricket and sell the vegetables. if your top order gives you 200 for 1 then what all middle order are doing there. it was shameful. obviously,Zaheer is the Indian Current BEST BOWLER AND HE KNOWS WELL BANGLADESI'S WEAKNESS.

This had to happen as veeru says bangladesh is prety ordinary side . Yes agree they played well in patches but they were no were international standard . Tamim iqbal played well but he has to understand sometimes he has to play for team , i 100 percent believe ashraful and raqib ul hasan are not international standard . anyway lets hope thy improve in days to come

I think this is the problem with all the subcontinent team. Team India really did well with bowl. I think what really changed the fate of this match was the Zaheer Khan's spell in the last few hours of the third day where he got rid of the Siddique and Iqbal. But yes Zaheer did terrific job today. And he deserves the Man of the Match and Man of the Series as well. Hopefully, Indians will continue its success journey against South African team. And we can certainly expect some fun when Bangladesh visits NewZealand.

I always trust Bangladeshi team and they always break my trust. Tamim Iqbal did well but other player did so bed so it useless to do good performance. May be they will loses the match again.
