1st try: The West Indies reject Bangladesh for a record 43 | Cricket News

NORTHERN (Antigua and Barbuda): Kemar Roach took five wickets while the West Indies demolished Bangladesh for 43, their lowest test total, the morning of opening the first test in Antigua Wednesday.

Scorecard

At lunch at the Sir Vivian Richards stadium, the West Indies had reached nine without loss.

The pitiful performance of Bangladesh was also the second shortest run in the history of Cricket Test. At 18.4 overs, it was just one more ball than the dismissal from Australia for 60 off 18.3 overs by England in Nottingham in 2015.

Bangladeshis have not done much in the quality of fast bowling in the West Indies.

Roach set the rout in motion by claiming the top five wickets for eight points in just five transfers, even though he seems to have been troubled by muscle tension behind his right knee.

However, it was the pbaders-drums who felt the greatest discomfort with the only opener Liton Das to reach two figures in a performance that once again exposed the vulnerability of their players in conditions far removed from what They know -continent.

Das was sixth out of 25, a nasty uprising offering a mere take on Roston Chase in the back of Miguel Cummins to end any prospect of Roach claiming all ten wickets in the innings.

Cummins, whose place in the last eleven was in question after a lack of success in the previous three-test series against Sri Lanka, took two other wickets.

Jason Holder, captain of the West Indies, fresh out of a nine-wicket pbad from the defeat in the last test against the Sri Lankans in Barbados, refined the innings with the wickets of Kamrul Islam and the beginner Abu Jayed.

Jayed was still online for his first test cap, given the field conditions and the absence due to an injury of the most efficient worker tour of Bangladesh, Mustafizur Rahman.

At his very first cricket test session, he came to the crease as the last man in the lineup and had to first use the new ball in the West Indies response.

If they relied on their most experienced players to carry out a difficult opening session, the experienced quarterback from Bangladesh was poorly served by Captain Shakib al-Hbadan, the former skipper Musfiqur Rahim and the off-road Mahmudullah. Not able to score at the opening of Tamim Iqbal contributed four points before becoming the first wicket to fall, caught at the box office, to trigger the fast tumbling of wickets.
