Ctg Test tit-bit

Rare feat for Warner
He might have dropped twice on 52 and 73 but Warner made the most use of it, scoring one of slowest century, much to the frustration of Bangladesh. In the process he became only the sixth Australian batsman to score back-to-back century in Asia. The other five Australian batsmen who had earlier hit back-to-back century was Bob Simpson, Alan Border, Damien Martyn, Mike Hussey, and Michael Clarke. Hussey however made such rare achievement twice.

Test of nerve
Warner’s 20th Test century created quite a buzz, specially for the patience he had shown on the way to register the ton. He played 209 balls to reach the three digit mark. He earlier never faced more than 174 deliveries in Asia. In those 174 balls he faced against Pakistan in UAE, he still made 133 runs. But this time around, he took 35 balls more to score the ton. But what was interesting fact was he had to wait a nerve-wrecking 16 balls to reach 100 from 99 runs. Nasir Hossain alone forced him eat up those 16 deliveries before he got a cover-drive boundary. In this period, Peter Handscomb was run out in a bid to show over eagerness to help Warner reach the century.

Warner’s slowest
When Warner reached three digit figure with boundary, the scoreboard showed he had just five fours in his innings and played 209 balls. In his career so far he reached 100 playing more than 150 balls only just once what came against India at Adelaide. In that match, he reached century off 154 balls. He finally was out 123 off 234 on the third day of the Chittagong Test, playing his second longest innings in his 66-match career. The only time he faced more deliveries was against New Zealand in Perth in 2015. He then faced 286 deliveries but scored 253, his highest and only double century in his career. That was astonishing for a batsman whose mantra is to attack just.

Mehedi again
With the bat, he made a blunder as he hesitated for the second run when it was on the cards. Mehedi’s dismissal effectively closed Bangladesh’s way to post at least 350 in the first innings. With the ball too, he was not threatening like the first Test as the Australian batsmen easily negotiated him. And to add agony, he then missed a sitter at gully when Glenn Maxwell was on 10. He then shelled a return catch of Hilton Cartwright on 6 and in the process got pain on his rib cage. Pressure got the better of him! But at least he clawed back in the last session, ending with a figure of three for 93.

When Nasir was umpire
The video of Nasir Hossain imitating umpire Nigel Llong during the third day’s play went viral in the social media outlet. The incident happened when Bangladesh successfully reviewed the out the Pat Cummins. The batsman  offered no shot against Mehedi Hasan Miraj but Llong ruled it not out. Mushfiqur took the review and was successful, leaving Nasir copy the umpire hilariously. However Australian media believed it was a send-off.
