Cricketer Boys

Transcript

00:00We are at the SSC for the second and final test match of the Bangladesh Series of Sri Lanka.

00:07This is day one and the series is nicely poised.

00:11I say that because the first test is called.

00:14Sri Lanka was hoping that they might be able to get off to a winning start.

00:17It was not the case. It was a draw.

00:20So it's all to play for at the SSC.

00:22And then we got the white ball series.

00:24Two more games in Colombo.

00:25We have Bali Kali.

00:26And then we continue at Dabula.

00:30And finally we come back to Colombo for the final D20.

00:34So lots of picket left in this Bangladesh Tour of Sri Lanka.

00:38But let's focus on this game at the SSC.

00:41Such a...

00:42Chadman Islam.

00:45Namul Haq B. Joy.

00:46Bangladesh have won the toss for the second time in the series.

00:50Najmul Hossein Shanto.

00:52Right decision.

00:53And was quick to say that they will bat first.

00:58At the SSC, history tells us that the first session can be tricky because there's always a bit of moisture.

01:04Ball does not come on as you'd expect.

01:09Just wear it down and then you cash in.

01:12Lots and lots of runs can be scored on this pitch.

01:16Control the moments.

01:18Control the situation.

01:20And you come away with the chocolates.

01:23That's what you do here at the SSC.

01:27Sri Lanka.

01:28Well, changes there.

01:31Angelo Matthews announced his retirement and played his last test a few days ago.

01:36And hence there has to be changes.

01:37And Namul Haq B. Joy.

01:39Eighth test match.

01:41A very, very quiet one for him.

01:45Whereas the other top-order batters, other than Muminul, of course, were able to come in and score runs.

01:53Amir Swel, good morning.

01:55Good morning.

01:56Good morning to all.

01:57Russell, Rashad Manislam, really played well in the second links.

02:03Was well in control.

02:05Has to do seminal work once again as an opener.

02:10Survive for a little while.

02:12See what the pitch is offering to the ballers and then decide how to go about the job.

02:20They are supposed to lay the foundation.

02:22But Russell, it amazes me.

02:24Once our captain wins a toss in subcontinent.

02:29There is Klee.

02:30And they start to prim.

02:33And once again, for the second time,

02:37Shanto managed to win the toss.

02:40And there were no surprises.

02:42He's decided to back first.

02:46Sunal Dinusha, the debutant.

02:50Two debutants in golf, Sri Lanka.

02:53And he's the latest.

02:54He comes into the team to replace Angelo Matthews.

02:57The retiring Angelo Matthews.

03:00Kusal Mindis.

03:03Had the honour of handing him the cap.

03:07Test player, number 170 for Sri Lanka.

03:09He's earned his spot, I've got to say that.

03:11Heaps of runs in first-class cricket.

03:14Emerging cricket.

03:15He's been waiting for this opportunity.

03:16And you do hope that we accept with both hands.

03:21Because there are quite a few newer players trying to knock that door down.

03:25They're hammering that door down with runs.

03:27Yeah, he got his dream.

03:29Now he has to live the dream.

03:30And when I say live the dream, he has to perform well to be able to stay there.

03:36Prepare to say, don't keep dreaming.

03:40Exactly, wake up.

03:41Now pinch yourself.

03:42He's an all-rounder, so he'll have a part to play with his bowling.

03:5299 first-class wickets for Sonal Dinusha.

03:55How fitting it would be if he manages to pick up his 100th wicket in first-class cricket during this chess match.

04:05There you go.

04:08Looks for swing, it's not there.

04:11Right underneath the eyes of Shadman who eases into it.

04:17He should stay there.

04:19This is very good line of length.

04:22It again, short.

04:25Oh dear, oh dear.

04:27He ran in hard in goal.

04:29He needs these catches to stick.

04:33Asita must be wondering what else do I have to do to pick up a wicket there?

04:40Yeah, one good thing did.

04:46Nice.

04:47Right underneath the eye and he leans into it.

04:49So the first boundary for Shadman.

04:51Five for no loss.

04:52Fast delivery of the previous over.

04:55Now when there is so much of attention to detail, the result is even sweeter.

05:09Bold.

05:09Outside edge.

05:11No one's catching it.

05:13Gets the inside edge.

05:14On to the stem.

05:15So Asita Fernando, he gets his man.

05:20Yeah, never looked comfortable out there in the middle.

05:26He's been circumspect with his footwork.

05:29Once again, this stroke was bereft of any footwork.

05:33Hung the bat out.

05:35This time around.

05:37The baller didn't need any assistance from a fielder.

05:41He cleaned him up.

05:42His re-expands for the opener in Amul.

05:48He goes without scoring.

05:50It's five for one.

05:53They're early.

05:53Inamulhaq Bijoy dismissed for naught.

05:57He faced ten balls.

05:58All ten from Asita Fernando.

06:01Didn't he have him in a mesh?

06:02To go through.

06:04And that's where you can get the outside edge.

06:08Short.

06:09That's bed and butter.

06:12Smashed it past cover point for a boundary.

06:14Twelve for one.

06:15For him in this series.

06:18But that last ball was short and wide.

06:20Momenon was waiting for it.

06:22Really had no need to move his feet.

06:25It was asking.

06:26It was begging to be hit.

06:28And with that fairly large gap.

06:29And no fielders behind square on the offside.

06:32Twice in that last test match.

06:37Now he goes.

06:38That's tossed up.

06:39And that's wide.

06:42That's four.

06:44Down to deep cover.

06:46That was a gain.

06:48Just asking.

06:49That was too slow.

06:50Too wide.

06:51The length was good to be driven.

06:53Yeah.

06:53Length was too full.

06:56Momenon luck have played Tanwurath Naik really well.

06:58Even in the previous test match.

07:00Deliberately making sure he opens the face of the bat and finds the gap behind square.

07:06Where Shandi Malo is in front of square.

07:09Nicely placed.

07:10Nicely time.

07:11By Momenon.

07:11Actually don't mind the speed.

07:16But it's the length that I'm a little bit concerned about.

07:21Oh.

07:22Very nearly.

07:24Let me tell you.

07:27Karindu Ratnaik had Momenon at goal.

07:31Almost in similar fashion.

07:33Dananjay was the catcher.

07:34Remember him missing him one.

07:36But then he held on to it.

07:39Did this carry.

07:42Bottom edge.

07:45Yeah.

07:46Probably not.

07:46Half volley.

07:48Daranjay Dishilva saves three runs.

07:52One thing that the.

07:53The fielder in the slips.

07:54Oh in the air.

07:56Extra cover.

07:58That was close.

08:00Very risky by Shatman.

08:03There's no breeze.

08:06The comfort level for the bowlers.

08:08Especially.

08:09Clipped away towards mid-bricot.

08:10Should run away.

08:12It wasn't a bad delivery at all.

08:14I thought that was played on the up.

08:15The line was straight.

08:17That's the batsman.

08:18In form.

08:19Shatman Islam.

08:21Yeah.

08:21Worked the angle very well.

08:22Made the adjustment.

08:25Nicely done.

08:26Going round the wicket.

08:27Just look at.

08:28How he watches.

08:29And look at how he makes that adjustment at the last minute.

08:33Almost on the up.

08:34But.

08:35The strong wrists.

08:37The adjustment there.

08:39At five.

08:40Phenomenal.

08:41But.

08:42Oh.

08:42Now.

08:43That was brave.

08:45To shoo it out on the wicket.

08:47Get to the pitch.

08:48Did really give it a.

08:49Thump man.

08:50It went just past.

08:51The diving fielder.

08:52Or the bowler.

08:53On his follow through.

08:55Brilliant decision.

08:56And execution.

08:57From Shatman.

08:59Put the pressure on the spinner.

09:01I was just saying.

09:03He needs to hold it up.

09:04He needs to be tight.

09:07But if you can put him under pressure like this.

09:10Then Anjay De Silva have to start rotating his bowlers.

09:12He won't be able to stick to plan A, B or C.

09:15He'll have to keep going deeper.

09:16So well hit.

09:18He was never catching it.

09:22Oh.

09:23He uses the ball to come.

09:28But down in goal.

09:30Yeah.

09:32That was painful.

09:33Yeah.

09:34And that was.

09:34As you mentioned.

09:35That's where he fancies bowling.

09:37Gets all the wickets over the years.

09:39Big surprise.

09:40Because maybe things will change for him here at the SSC.

09:48Oh.

09:49Get it.

09:50Matt.

09:50And that is an appeal.

09:53Mainly from the bowler.

09:55Not too much.

09:56From the.

09:56Nicely eases into that.

10:03Lovely looking.

10:05There's a chase on.

10:06That's right to get to it.

10:08Couple of runs nevertheless.

10:09We haven't seen turn for Atnayak and Hintz.

10:18He's hitting through the line.

10:19There's plenty of runs.

10:20To mindset.

10:21What will bring about that turn.

10:24Dilly mistake.

10:25Lovely.

10:25He's got the gap.

10:28Hint of width.

10:29And he jumps all over it.

10:31He loves playing in that area.

10:32Anything short.

10:34Didn't have too much width.

10:35That may be a touch crumb.

10:37But look at the manner.

10:38In which he is.

10:39Moving on.

10:40To the back.

10:42Cutting it square.

10:43On top of it.

10:44In absolute control.

10:47And they're playing their options really well at this stage.

10:50Now there's a problem for Dharanjay De Silva.

10:53The two fast bowlers have had their early spell.

10:56You cannot bowl them to the ground.

10:59Now Ratnayaka.

11:00He's going at five and a half and over.

11:02And the field is spread far and wide too.

11:10Which is it up.

11:11He gets partial back to it.

11:14I must say he was aiming.

11:15Maybe shaping to play straighter than very.

11:22Put the straighter.

11:23Shot mid on in position.

11:24But he's stroked it away.

11:26Nice looking shot.

11:28Seemed so very confident in playing that cover drive.

11:32Races away.

11:34To the boundary.

11:37You mentioned the change in the field.

11:39But look at where he tosses it up.

11:41Way outside of stump.

11:44But just not what he was required to do.

11:47The captain wanted him to continue bowling the line.

11:51More like throw downs.

11:52He makes the change.

11:59No Minul Haak.

12:00He makes a mistake.

12:02That ball almost bounced twice.

12:05He's got complacent.

12:07And he's made the mistake.

12:09Well, Dananja De Silva will be thinking this is possibly one of the balls that he didn't expect to get a wicket.

12:17Just wanted to thrash it away.

12:20And he was surprised.

12:22Oh, I mean, no hug.

12:24Was shocked.

12:25Why on earth did he go and play a shock like that?

12:28Couldn't keep it on the ground.

12:30And he's got to take that long ball back.

12:3121.

12:3221.
