First Test at Antigua, where Bangladesh was 43 all out last time.

BD team is riddled with injuries and Mushfiqur Rahim will miss the entire tour as he has gone for the Hajj pilgrimage in Mecca.

With only a home series against India remaining, this is Bangladesh's last realistic chance to grab a win in this WTC cycle.

I reckon BD have a better chance at home against India then here. West Indies bowling is pretty scary

Toss just minutes away. Last time Bangladesh were at this ground, they were bundled for 43 all out.

Bangladesh top order are under tremendous pressure as they enter this series in the worst form possible.

Bangladesh's recent top order woes are unprecedented and unfathomably bad. They have posted a few decent totals, but thats always been due to Mushfiq and Liton recovering the innings. The first 5 wickets have fallen at the following scores over the past year:

43-5
255-5
98-5
46-5
361-5
128-5
27-5
16-5
101-5
38-5
122-5
385-5
24-5
53-5

Take out the 3 outlier scores, and the average is probably 50 runs for the loss of the 5th wicket. Putrid.

And sure enough Windies win and toss and put us in. Bangladesh need to score big up front for once.

Same story repeating like a loop.

Joy, Shanto, and Mominul all gone for ducks. Unbelievable.

Caught a bit of this earlier - grand total of about 20 spectators in the stadium. Sad how caribbean cricket has fallen.

Makes no sense to me. The players are still pretty good

Especially those fast bowlers. Jayden Seales is unbelievable for his age. Dude likes test circket too

Bangladesh, after starting the new year so positively in test cricket, have fallen apart drastically.

I expected better from them and Bangladesh would themselves know that they are better than some of their recent test results.

Surely. The fast bowlers have done an admirable job this year. Not a whole lot of wickets to show for their efforts, but still way better than what they've produced in previous years.
