[ Noakhali Online Group ] Windies wilt against spin again

 

The makeshift West Indies 
side struggled against Bangladesh's spin again on a rain-affected 
third day of the second Test as the Caribbean side closed on 192 for 
eight in their second innings. 

Shakib Al Hasan took four for 62 after the West Indies, who had a 
five-run first-innings lead, struggled to make a score that would give 
them a chance of levelling the series. 

Only Travis Dowlin, who made 49 to follow his 95 in the first innings 
and Dave Bernard who completed his third half century in the series, 
showed any competence against tight slow bowling from Bangladesh. 

Bangladesh deployed an attacking field with close catchers around the 
bat throughout the day, illustrating their confidence that, as in the 
first Test and the first innings in Grenada, West Indies would wilt 
against the constant probing. 

They were encouraged left-handed opener Omar Phillips holed out to 
square-leg off Shakib and Ryan Hinds inexplicably tried to sweep a 
ball going down leg side and gloved to Mahmudullah Riyad at leg slip.
