Mount Maunganui Jan 1, : , Bangladesh fast bowling coach Ottis Gilbert felt his players were great with the new ball in the Test match against New Zealand.He said that the bowlers performed admirably, despite having not had much luck.The day started well for Bangladeshi bowlers, who found some swing and seam movement that would trouble New Zealand batsmen.The first breakthrough came from Shoriful Islam, with Tom Latham being caught behind and Liton Das taking an amazing catch at the stumps.
Although Islam and Taskin Ahmad were a problem for Devon Conway’s and Will Young respectively, the pair managed to have a partnership of 138 runs.To reduce New Zealand’s margin advantage, Bangladesh took four wickets more, one each from Young and Conway.
“I believe the fast bowlers did well under difficult circumstances.They worked hard.Today is very hot.The new ball was a great idea.The ball was pitched up and swung.We beat the bat many times.There could have been more.Our team is playing the top international players.It was close to Devon Conway winning the lbw.It is handed out on another day.These are the margins of international cricket.Gibson said in the video conference that Gibson was proud of how the boys battled through the entire day.
Gibson was asked about the changes in Bangladesh’s bowling game and he said that they were bowling longer than usual, which is completely different from what they do at home.We have worked hard on our swinging skills.
You will probably see everybody swing the ball today.Because we get very little swing in Bangladesh, it is common for us to bowl short.
We pitched it up a lot higher here.Since getting off the plane at Christchurch, we have worked hard.”
Ahmed (52 years old) felt that he could take some of the wickets on the second day, despite being under pressure.That’s Test cricket.He hears me say that.It is not possible to get wickets every single day.Tomorrow, however, you still have five wickets.After getting his fitness up, he might be able to get three or more wickets.He played very well today.
Gibson concluded by stating that on Day One, the honors were equally divided between both teams.It’s equal-stevens to me.The grass plays a role because we don’t see as much.Ebadot and all the other fast bowlers did well under difficult circumstances.
