2.40 pm A couple of good wickets for Bangladesh, but West Indies' batsmen have pushed on quite solidly. Their run-rate is also reasonably enough. A little more intent would help, and we might see that in the final session which shall start in a fifteen minutes

Its tea...

Parmanand Singh: "I like this West Indian TEST test without Gayle in it. Ramdin was more confident going for the catches, resulting in him grasping 5. A stand-in opener in Johnson looks like he belongs here (minus reviewing his dismissal in 1st inngs). But let's that say that they are world beaters yet. They are playing a Team right now that doesn't know where their heads and feet are. This is like watching Australia demolish a hopeless England in the latest ASHES."


The Bangladesh players are already out and warming up as the West Indies batsmen saunter to the middle. It will be Taijul Islam to kick it all off

3.02pm We are back for the final session of the day, and it has been a pretty good one for both sides, as West Indies currently sit on 90 for 2. Bangladesh will badly want to keep this lead manageable, although 300 is a hefty chase no matter who you are.

5.30pm Mushfiqur leads his troops off the field, knowing full well he is at the mercy of the hosts as they look to pile on a huge advantage. West Indies, on the close of the third day, hold a staggering 427-run lead, and will probably look to bat on for at least an hour in tomorrow's morning session. Chanderpaul and Blackwood have been terrific after the openers put on a solid 76-run stand. Chanderpaul reaches his third fifty on the trot, and I wonder if he will indeed get a hundred tomorrow before the team decide on a declaration?

WINDIES TIGHTEN SCREWS
Chanderpaul, Blackwood century stand put hosts in command

Shiv Chanderpaul’s second half-century of the match and third in as many innings, propelled West Indies to a massive lead and left Bangladesh with a Herculean task of saving the second Test. At the close of the third day yeserday, West Indies were 208 for four, already a lead of 427 runs, with two days still left in the contest at the Beausejour Cricket Ground.
Once again, it was Chanderpaul who was at the heart of the Windies progress, finishing on 63 not out to follow up his unbeaten 84 in the first innings. He has so far added 108 for the fifth wicket with Jermaine Blackwood, who was in sight of his second Test half-century on 43. Chanderpaul has so far faced 98 balls and struck five fours while Blackwood has hit a four and a six off 96 deliveries.

Their stand was required when West Indies slumped to 100 for four, 20 minutes after tea, courtesy of a double strike by off-spinner Mahmudullah who removed Darren Bravo for seven and then opener Kraigg Brathwaite in quick succession.

West Indies had earlier claimed a commanding 219-run lead, after left-arm spinner Sulieman Benn picked up two of the last three wickets to fall as Bangladesh were bowled out for 161 in their first innings. Resuming from their overnight 104 for seven, the visitors were eventually dismissed 20 minutes before lunch, with Benn finishing with two for 19. Seamers Kemar Roach, who took five for 42, and Jerome Taylor, two for 41, failed to add to their spoils from Sunday.

Bangladesh kept the Windies wicket-less for nearly 45 minutes in the morning session with Mahmudullah, overnight on 13, taking the fight to the Windies bowlers with a top score of 53. He faced 100 balls and struck two fours and a six, extending the eighth wicket stand with Shafiul Islam (10) to 45.

It was pacer Shannon Gabriel who got the breakthrough in the third over of his first spell of the morning, finding Shafiul’s edge through to wicketkeeper Denesh Ramdin at 134 for eight. After the drinks break, Mahmudullah clubbed Gabriel over the ropes at mid-wicket and then raised his half-century but banging a full toss from the same bowler to the long on boundary. However, he was gone two balls later in the next over when he edged a cut at Benn behind and Robiul Islam followed soon afterward, lbw without scoring to the lanky Barbadian.

West Indies vs Bangladesh
WI puts Bangladesh through mill

West Indies are well on their way to whitewashing Bangladesh in the Dhaka Bank Test series, as they batted them out of the game on day three of the second and final Test yesterday, at the Beausejour Cricket ground in St Lucia.

After amassing 380 all out in their first innings, the West Indies dismissed Bangladesh for 161 yesterday, but did not enforce the follow-on. With a lead off 219 runs, the Caribbean boys finished on 208 for four, for an overall lead off 427 runs with two days left.

Sulieman Benn grabbed two of the three wickets to fall yesterday while Shannon Gabriel got the other.

Kemar Roach did not add to his five wickets of the previous day.

The West Indies innings started ten minutes before lunch with Bangladesh opting to open with the spin bowling off Taijul Islam.

Openers Kraigg Brathwaite and Leon Johnson batted positively with Johnson looked particularly sound and timing the ball sweetly. His crisp stroke play interrupted the afternoon nap for many at the ground. Even the usually sedate Brathwaite moved the score along quickly. The Barbadian, who has been in rich form this season, smacked his first six in Test cricket in the process.

Together they posted 76 before an advancing Johnson was yorked by spinner Islam. He scored 41 off just 59 balls with the help off eight fours. Immediately after, Kirk Edwards walked back to the pavilion as well, scoring just two and more than likely cancelling his ticket to India for the upcoming tour.

Darren Bravo also continued his struggles, falling to Mahmudullah for a 29-ball seven. Mahmudullah also removed Brathwaite, who made 45 after batting for 139 minutes and facing 112 balls. He sent three to he fence and one over it.

Shivnarine Chanderpaul and the youthful Jermaine Blackwood were left to take the West Indies out of spot of bother at 100 for four and they did just that. They added an unbroken 108 runs for the fifth wicket.

Chanderpaul, coming into this innings with an unbelievable average off 582.00 against Bangladesh over the last two series, continued to punish them. He scored 59 not out, 203 not out, 1, 150 not out, 85 not out, 84 not out and yesterday got 62 not out. The lone occasion he was dismissed he batted an number 11 because he was not well and made one.

Blackwood and Chanderpaul weathered the spin and was able to milk runs during the final session. Chanderpaul brought up his 66th Test fifty in 109 minutes, off 84 balls with three fours. He batted the best he has this series and Blackwood was able to feed off him.

One straight drive in particular off Robiul Islam was special and the bowler must have thought that the slight earth tremor felt at the same time, was as a result of that shot.

When the balls were flicked by the umpires, Blackwood was unbeaten on 43 off 96 balls with one four and a six.

Earlier, Bangladesh resumed on 104 for seven and Mahmudullah was able to take them close to the follow-on mark off 181. They folded for 161 but more importantly they ate away nearly two hours with stubborn batting. Mahmudullah stroked the ball well, middling almost everything and scored a half century before he was sent back by Sulieman Benn.

The tall Barbadian had him caught by wicketkeeper Ramdin—his fifth catch off the innings for 53. He batted for 161 minutes, faced 100 balls and struck two fours and a six. Benn finished with 2/19, while Roach took 5/42.

The Bangladesh fielders are just about to step on the field, with the umpires making their way to the middle. It will be Chanderpaul on strike this morning ,to face the spin of Taijul Islam

Mushfiqur is not content with how things have gone, believing that the West Indies will bat on for a little while today before the visitors are given a turn. The execution of his bowlers and fielders have not quite been up to the mark. He knows fully well he is on the back foot, and he wants his team to show some fight and guts. Believes the wicket is still a good one to bat on, despite the manner of his dismissal in the first innings.

9.50am Shivnarine Chanderpaul shares his thoughts with WICB about how the match has progressed so far, and what the team's plans are going forward as they look to rise in the Test rankings.

Mahmudullah to Chanderpaul, 2 runs, and he gets to a 30th Test hundred with a gentle clip through square leg. Leaped in joy after getting the single which registered the century. Kisses the pitch to celebrate what is a fantastic milestone. And predictably, Ramdin has asked the batsmen to come off as West Indies declare with a lead of 488 runs

We should have the Bangladesh openers out in just a few minutes. Don't go anywhere yet as Bangladesh look to keep this Test alive!

Visible signs of delight on the Guyanese batsmen's face as he walks off after a job well done. Bangladesh face a huge target as they get themselves ready to bat for the long haul. Blackwood also deserves credit for the supporting hand he played, getting himself to a career-high score of 66*.

Taylor to Shamsur Rahman, OUT, one hook too much and this time Shamsur had no control! Credit to West Indies for cranking up the chin music. His instinct forced him to drag the ball from outside off, Taylor had got the ball to lift above the shoulder, forced Shamsur's top hand off the bat and had him looking all sorts of uncomfortable. Edwards on the edge of the boundary takes a simple catch

Seems to be a run-in between Benn and Tamim. Seems the issue is that the batsman might have made contact with the bowler while running between the wickets. Meanwhile, there is a light drizzle on


2.20 pm Oopsy, the drizzle has got heavy enough to force the players off. The skies above don't seem all that threatening though. It is also tea, by the way. Bangladesh would not had minded a little reprieve from the middle. Tamim and Mominul have been dogged so far, against pace, spin and the odd sledge. We shall be back in 15-odd minutes for the final session's play today


2.40pm We are ready to kick off the final session of play. Tamim and Mominul have been rock-solid in their 66-run alliance so far. Ramdin has pored through his options to find a breakthrough.

Gabriel to Mahmudullah, OUT, he's having a good ol time after tea! Asks for a leg before appeal and is rewarded. But Mahmudullah wants a second look. This good length ball jags back quite sharply, beats the batsman for pace as he was looking to flick. The impact was over the knee-roll and the off stump was visible too. Could be sliding down, but even if it was clipping it will be given out because of that pesky umpire's call and that is what it ends up being. Not that marginal a decision in the end

But Mominul has swiped it into the hands of midwicket where Gabriel clings to another one and is flattened as his team-mates fall on top of him. West Indies are on a roll here and as Ramdin has been chirping all day, one wicket brought three.

He's not quick enough to get his bat down and umpire Davis says that's adjacent. The review shows parts of middle and off stump, but he was far enough back in his crease for the ball to clip leg.

Roach invites Mushfiqur forward with this back of a length delivery, with the ball catching the outside edge and going flush through to the slipper, who ends up bobbling it on the first take.

Taylor straightaway breaches the defence of Mushfiqur, who plays all around this short of a length delivery, reversing into the captain, as he looked to punch through the covers, leaving a gaping hole in which the ball swerved through to find the timber

Taylor to Robiul Islam, OUT, 100th Test wicket for Jerome Taylor, and what a beauty of a delivery to do it as well! Short of a length and clipping the top of Robiul's pads as he instantly goes up for the appeal, which the umpire complies with generously. As Bangladesh don't have any more reviews, it is sayonara Robiul

Curtly Ambrose has a huge grin on his face as he congratulates his players for a job well done. Mushfiqur looks a touch disconsolate, but he will hope this experience will help his young team go forward once things sink in.

5.12pm From sitting pretty at 158 for 2, Bangladesh have managed to slump to 192 all out as West Indies complete a 2-0 series whitewash with this 296-run win. Suliemann Benn was once again the dangerous commodity as he picked up a well-earned sixth five-wicket haul. He was ably supported by the efforts of the pacemen, who bowled with real menace on a supportive track.

West Indies end this series by winning each and every match, bar the T20 which was rained out. Bangladesh go back home, and will hope they can take some meaningful points from the series as they look ahead.

Sir Julian Hunte, former president of the WICB, hands over the series trophy to Ramdin as they pose for the photographers.

Kraigg Brathwaite, Man of the Series: Coming here I had some confidence. I just wanted to keep that momentum going through the Tests. It was a great pitch, obviously first day it was doing a fair bit. It got a bit better batting later on. It is going to be a tough series (against India), but I know we have the guys to give them a challenge. Everybody is coming together and working hard, and we are all just really enjoying the moment.
Kraigg Brathwaite is the Man of the Series, scoring over 300 runs in the series

Denesh Ramdin, West Indies captain: It feels amazing to win these matches. It was an all-around team effort. Brathwaite and Johnson started well and then Roach just bowled beautifully. We just wanted to keep the run rate down and create opportunities for wickets. We also tried to switched the bowlers around with the ends and bowl into the breeze. It was a very good batting pitch, but when the ball is moving it is always tough for the new batsmen. Brathwaite and Chanderpaul stood out for the entire series. They really went out there and batted and batted, and put the opposition out of the game. Really glad to have them on board.

Mushfiqur Rahim, Bangladesh captain: Tamim and Mominul fought it out, but then we collapsed. We need to improve. Throughout the series, and even over the last few years, we have struggled (with collapses). We need to be tough for the whole session, and not just one hour or two hours. I think Tamim played really well, along with Mominul and Mahmudullah. Taijul and Al-Amin have also performed, but as a group we need to perform. Let's see how we do when we get back home.

Shiv Chanderpaul, Man of the Match: Winning the Test match is the most important thing. That was our aim from the beginning. We just tried to get as much as we could in the first innings, and then see where we could go. (when asked about not being dismissed this series) Can't think about getting out, and need to think about batting the next day, and hopefully I can maintain this as long as possible (when asked about his age and pushing on). Let's see how far I can go.

Benn's five blanks Bangladesh
The Report by Mohammad Isam
September 16, 2014



West Indies 380 (Chanderpaul 84*, Johnson 66) and 269 for 4 (Chanderpaul 101*, Blackwood 66*) beat Bangladesh 161 (Mahmudullah 53, Roach 5-42) and 192 (Tamim 64, Mominul 56, Benn 5-72) by 296 runs
Scorecard and ball-by-ball details


Sulieman Benn snuffed out Bangladesh's resistance with his sixth five-for to ensure West Indies won their 500th Test emphatically and complete a 2-0 series whitewash.

Bangladesh conceded their last eight wickets for 34 runs, emblematic of their fortunes in 2014. Ultimately the fight from Tamim Iqbal and Mominul Haque for nearly three hours ended up a footnote.

Benn posed a constant threat, questioning them with some turn and uneven bounce. With only the lunch break to refresh himself, he bowled unchanged from the 10th to the 50th overs. His perseverance was rewarded when Tamim was lured by the swathes of space on the leg side and top-edged a slog sweep into Shannon Gabriel's waiting hands. This was 3.42pm and by the next 23 minutes, Bangladesh's middle-order was ripped open.

Mahmudullah fell in the next over, the 60th, trapped lbw by an indipper from Gabriel. His review only confirmed the fact that the ball would have hit leg stump. Mominul struck the first ball of the next over, a full-toss from Benn, down midwicket's throat. He and Tamim had ground 110 runs in 47.1 overs to inspire hope in the dressing room. But when Nasir Hossain fell for 2, the collapse had reached its crescendo and ultimately turned the day into an anti-climax. Bangladesh had been 158 for 2 and lost four wickets for nine runs.

Taijul Islam was sent in at No. 8 once again, possibly for being a left-handed batsman. But he hardly looked a better choice than Shafiul Islam, who followed him to the crease in the 69th over. Taijul's wicket was Benn's fifth, as he became the fifth West Indian spinner to take seven or more five-wicket hauls. Jerome Taylor became the 20th West Indian to 100 Test wickets by bowling Mushfiqur Rahim, for a second time in the match, and Robiul Islam'. The innings ended when Shafiul's stumps were splayed in the 78th over by Kemar Roach.

Jerome Taylor got through Mushfiqur Rahim's defenses for a second time in the match, bowling him with a delivery that nipped through bat and pad. This was his 99th Test wicket and four balls later, he made it 100 by clean bowling Robiul Islam, and became the 20th West Indian to reach the milestone.

The innings ended when Shafiul moved away to cut a ball, but Kemar Roach was too quick for him, ending the innings in the 78th over.

The collapse soured some dogged batting from Mominul and Tamim. They got together at 48 for 2 with lunch only a few minutes away. They got through that tricky period and progressed cautiously to tea - making it the second session of the tour that Bangladesh hadn't lost a wicket. There had been an opportunity though but Darren Bravo dropped a regulation chance of Mominul at first slip.

Neither batsman was perturbed by playing for time. They spent 21 overs without a boundary and Tamim's 181-ball 64 was his fourth-longest innings in terms of balls faced and his count of two fours and a six was the lowest when he had played over 100 balls.

Strokeplay was not completely shelved though as Tamim slogged Benn to the midwicket boundary twice in the 28th over. Mominul hit straighter when the left-arm spinner overpitched, confirming a plan to only find boundaries when they are sure of a bad ball.

A passing drizzle forced an early tea and but both batsmen continued diligently on with Tamim reaching his slowest fifty, off 146 balls. He followed it up with a drive that tore through the covers as Bangladesh recorded only their second hundred partnership of the series. It was also the second century stand between Tamim and Mominul, the first also coming in a rearguard action against New Zealand in October last year.

Mominul then reached his fifty, also his slowest, off 125 balls. Two overs later, Tamim threw it away and so would Mominul.

Bangladesh's troubles began in the first session after Ramdin declared with 75 minutes before the lunch interval. Shamsur Rahman's response to the task of batting out a minimum of 169 overs was to go after the bowling, but his jaunt lasted just 38 minutes. He drove a couple of overpitched deliveries to the boundary before launching into Taylor's short ball barrage. He flicked a boundary then pulled another four a six off successive balls, taking 16 off the seventh over.

The only fielder Ramdin pushed back was Kirk Edwards to deep square-leg, who had to wait for four balls in Taylor's next over before Shamsur's out-of-control hook landed in his lap. A 27-ball 39 at the top of the scorecard would stick out as a sore thumb when the situation of the match is considered.

Ramdin quickly swapped Taylor out with Suleiman Benn and gained immediate reward. Anamul Haque followed one that turned and bounced to nick off for a duck.

West Indies' control of the Test at the decisive stage comes courtesy of Shivnarine Chanderpaul's 30th Test hundred. When he tucked away his 134th ball round the corner for a single, he not only went past Sir Don Bradman's 29 centuries, he became only the second batsman to remain undefeated throughout a Test series (minimum of three innings) and scored 200-plus runs. He has made 269 runs with two fifties and the century. Jacques Kallis was the first to do so, against Zimbabwe in 2001.

Ruthless Windies
Bangladesh humiliated as hosts win by 296 runs

A century from Shiv Chanderpaul, Sulieman Benn’s five-wicket haul and three wickets from Jerome Taylor helped, as West Indies ran rings around Bangladesh to win by 296 runs in the second Test and claim a two-nil series win, yesterday.
Chasing an insurmountable 488 to win, Bangladesh collapsed from 158 for three to 188 all-out in the final session of the fourth day of the scheduled five-day match as West Indies produced another command performance.

Tamim Iqbal and Mominul Haque staged an amazing fight back for the tourists by adding 110 runs for the third wicket after coming together at 48 for two. In only their second hundred partnership of the series opener Iqbal played patiently to reach a top score of 64 while Haque contributed 56.

But when Benn broke the partnership by removing Iqbal the rampaging Caribbean boys pressed home the advantage to seal a lopsided victory in the 500th Test of their history. Bangladesh enjoyed a laborious but productive second session without losing a wicket as Iqbal and Haque frustrated the hosts.

Tamim’s departure, caught in the deep by Shannon Gabriel off Benn, signaled the start of a dramatic collapse. Bangladesh
conceded their last eight wickets for 34 runs, including losing four wickets for nine runs, as the lower order failed to produce any fight. They were wiped out by Benn who claimed five wickets for 72 runs while Taylor, who claimed three wickets, also completed his 100 wickets for the West Indies in the format.

Earlier West Indies, 208 for four overnight, declared on 269 for four, allowing Chanderpaul to register his 30th Test century and to keep the home side in control of the game in the process. The evergreen 40-year-old Chanderpaul’s unbeaten 101, together with 66 not out from Jermaine Blackwood helped to further strengthen the West Indies position.

Apart from surpassing Sir Don Bradman’s 29 centuries, Chanderpaul is only the second West Indian, after former captain Clive Lloyd against Australia in 1984, to score a Test century aged 40 or more. He is also only the second batsman to remain undefeated throughout a Test series having played a minimum of three innings and scored 200-plus runs. Jacques Kallis was the first to do so, against Zimbabwe in 2001.

Bangladesh collapse to 2-0 series defeat

Bangladesh collapsed to a 2-0 series defeat against West Indies, losing the second and final Test by 296 runs with a day to spare on Tuesday.
West Indies declared their second innings on 269 for four after Shivnarine Chanderpaul (101 not out) had completed his 30th Test century.

Jermaine Blackwood (66) had helped put on a 169 run fourth wicket partnership as West Indies set a near impossible target of 488.
The more realistic challenge for Bangladesh was to bat for as long as possible and hope the unpredictable weather in Saint Lucia at this time of year might help them.

After falling to 48-2, the third wicket pairing of Mominul Haque (56) and Tamim Iqbal (64) dug in and put on a 110 run partnership.
But when Tamim went, top-edging Sulieman Benn to Shannon Gabriel, Bangladesh quickly fell apart.

The tourists added 34 runs for their final seven wickets with Benn’s left-arm spin bringing him figures of 5-72 while seamer Jerome Taylor chipped in with 3-39.
It was far too easy for West Indies, as it was throughout a series which, while it may have boosted the confidence of some of the newer faces in the Caribbean, did little for Bangladesh as they struggle to establish themselves in Test cricket.
