Report
On the second day of the second Test at Sabina Park, West Indies bowled out Bangladesh for 164 thanks to an incredible 15.5-10-5-4 from Jayden Seales. Since 1977, Seales’ bowling numbers (minimum 60 deliveries) have been the most economical in Test cricket. West Indies responded by losing Mikyle Louis early, but they were able to reach 70 for 1 thanks to Kraigg Brathwaite and Keacy Carty until poor lighting forced early stumps for the second day in a row. However, Shamar Joseph was the one who initially turned the Bangladeshi innings upside down.
The guests were 83 for 2 at one point. Shamar took three of the four wickets to fall, as they fell to 98 for 6 in the next 34 balls. He initially castled Shahadat Hossain for 22 to halt a patient stand of 73 between him and Shadman Islam. Soon after, he used a short ball to catch Jaker Ali behind. The ball landed behind the stumps for an easy catch by Joshua Da Silva after the hitter, who was late on the pull, top-edged it onto his shoulder. Shamar located Shadman’s outside edge in his subsequent over, giving Da Silva his fourth grab of the game.
Seales had Litton Das caught at first slip for one in the interim. But after lunch, Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Taijul Islam were subjected to an overuse of the short-ball strategy by Shamar and Alzarri Joseph. After hanging around for 116 balls, the two batters contributed 41 runs. Taijul eventually stopped Alzarri’s short ball from reaching third slip. The final three wickets were then taken by Seales for five runs. The first to leave was Taskin. The edge sailed behind the stumps when he attempted to draw a short ball.
Alick Athanaze leaped backwards to scoop it with both hands after Da Silva leaped and parried it towards the second slip. Before uprooting Nahid Rana’s leg stump to end the innings, Seales had Mehidy top-edge a hook into the grasp of fine leg in the same over. In the ten overs prior to tea, the Bangladeshi seamers conceded just 16 runs, demonstrating their frugal start as well. Following tea, Louis was caught behind for twelve times while Rana repeatedly exceeded the 150 kph mark. The surface was also helpful to Taijul.
Carty and Brathwaite were unable to free him. Taijul failed to take a wicket despite having seven maidens in his ten overs.
