WI ‘dispointed’ with early finish, Shadman 99* earns praise from host camp Jomel Warrican says visitors want chance to bowl with new batsman Litton Das The three that matter: Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah are all smiles after dismissing Pat Cummins. The three that matter: Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah, all smiling after dismissing Pat Cummins, India vs Australia. World Cup, Chennai, October 8, 2023 The referees stopped the game twice – once at 3:15 p.m. for 53 minutes, then at 4:23 p.m. – before stumps were called at 5pm.
Bangladesh ended the day on 213 for 3. Litton reached the goal crease in the 66th minute after Towhid Hridoy had to be carried off the pitch due to cramps. Umpires Nitin Menon and Sam Nogajski checked the light meter as soon as West Indies ctain Roston Chase reintroduced fast bowler Shamar Joseph into the attack.
“At the end of the day, the umpires have the final say,” said West Indies left-arm spinner Jomel Warrican, who took two wickets. “Obviously we were a bit dispointed with Litton Das coming to bat, so we wanted the opportunity to get a quick wicket and get more wickets during this session. “But it’s part of cricket.
We have to accept the referee’s decision, be professional and do what we have to do at that moment. “At the start of the day [the pitch] was a lot wetter and unfortunately we didn’t get the wickets we wanted.” But things are not always in your favor otherwise you will dominate. So ultimately we made sure that we stayed disciplined and secured important points in the future. “It was Shadman Islam’s consistent proach that kept the West Indies at bay all day.
Shadman played close to his body en route to an unbeaten 99. He struck fifty-plus partnerships with Mominul Haque and Hridoy and Bangladesh ended the first day in style. Shadman Islam deflects the ball, Bangladesh vs West Indies, 1st Test, Dhaka, Day 1, October 28, 2026 Bangladesh batting coach Mohammad Salahuddin said Shadman impressed him with his patience and shot control.
“I think [Shadman] judged the wicket very well. He didn’t play many risky shots during the day, although most batsmen tend to play a wrong shot when the going gets tough. He remained in control of his own innings.
I saw Shadman playing long innings after quite a while. It came out in the fifties and sixties. I think he’s been working on that too, so I hope he can extend this round. The match was abandoned as Shadman was unbeaten on 99, and Salahuddin said that “the result makes the entire team nervous”. “We were hoping he could complete his century on the first day.”
He scored only two centuries (31) in around thirty Tests. I think it should have been more centuries ago. I hope he has a better understanding of how to score hundreds in this innings.
I think this round will help him in the future. “I think he realized it himself or talked to the coaches about [the 50-year-old’s conversion]. There is no such thing as a good conversion rate.
I think there was something he needed to work on in his process. I think he is trying to improve by playing long innings. Maybe it will be a little easier for him to score a century,” he said.
West Indies played well in the opening games before getting two wickets in the first session. Warrican said the discipline shown by Shamar Joseph and Jayden Seales was impressive. “I felt like Jayden and Shamar got us on a good footing and then me, Joshua [Bishop] and Roston [Chase] tried to control the result.
I understand my role as someone who has to keep order and if I can get a wicket or two while doing that, that’s a big deal and that’s what I did. “Warrican said debutant Joshua Bishop bowled well on the first day and expected him to take a few wickets on the second day. “He was very consistent, with a good save rate. He doesn’t have a wicket yet but I know he will tomorrow.
So he takes on the job for the team, which is to make sure everything stays in order. A good economy, which is very, very important in the conditions of the subcontinent. So I just want him to continue to enjoy it and I know that tomorrow could be his day too. Test – West Indies ‘dispointed’ with early arrival, Bangladesh finish with Shadman on 99*
