Bangladesh v Australia, 2nd Test, Day 1, Chittagong – 5 Talking Points

2. Tamim falling victim to low bounce

One of the major reasons which helped Bangladesh overhaul Australia in the First Test in Dhaka was the double blow from Tamim Iqbal in both the innings of the Test match. After scoring a priceless 71 in the first innings, he followed it up with 79 in the second innings to take the game further away from the Aussies.

Although, in the second Test match, Iqbal looked out of sorts in the morning session for his nine runs as he was dropped before being the first victim of Nathan Lyon. Also, the bounce in the pitch was questionable with the ball keeping low. This was a major blow for the Bangladeshis as Tamim has been in a fabulous nick off-late.
