Taijul Islam bowled two good lengths to Tristan Stubbs. But quite outside. Because of the turn went out further. Stubbs had no problem cutting on the back foot.
But Taijul's plan was clear from then on. You should call these balls traps. However, such baiting has been seen many times in Test cricket. Allowing the batter to hit two-four boundaries, which is basically to get the batter out of the shell. As if the batter went to do the same in the next 'soccer' ball, the bait went.
Stubbs' fate today is exactly the same. Two balls out in the same over, Taijul hit one on the stump line, with full length. But as usual Stubbs went on the back foot. By the way, Hengele Elebele. Pushed the bat forward away from the body in an attempt to save the stumps, the slightly turned ball found the slip with the edge of the bat. Taijul is successful.
The problem is, Taijul had to concede two boundaries before delivering such a wicket-taking delivery, as part of the plan. But when you have only 106 runs on your scoreboard, you cannot show the luxury of wickets by giving away such runs. Subconsciously you have to tell the ball to stop the run. If there is a four, then Ku-Dak is paying attention.
Bangladesh's bowling line-up is quite good at the moment. But, the batsmen look so miserable, the Taijul Islam bowled two good lengths to Tristan Stubbs. But quite outside. Because of the turn went out further. Stubbs had no problem cutting on the back foot.
