Bangladesh Team Trolled Again as 5 Players Run After the Ball to Save Boundary: WATCH

Something seems to be really wrong with the Bangladesh team which is currently playing a Test series at home, against Sri Lanka. At least the videos from the second Test say so which are going viral on social media, making a mockery of Bangladesh’s on-field decision-making.

Just a couple of days ago, Najmul Hossain Shanto & Co. were brutally trolled over a bizarre DRS call for LBW despite Sri Lanka batter Kusal Mendis clearly middling the ball. The next day, all three slip fielders juggled the ball edged by Prabhath Jayasuriya, dropping it ultimately. And now, on Monday, they displayed another hilarious fielding attempt that has taken the internet by storm.

It was the 21^st over of Sri Lanka’s second innings when Jayasuriya played Hasan Mahmud’s length ball past gully and five Bangladesh fielders chased it together. The effort was to stop the boundary and the hosts did it without fail. The Lankans, meanwhile, settled for a couple of runs but Bangladesh surely set a classic example of a clowning act.

Earlier, Asitha Fernando claimed 4-34 as Sri Lanka bowled out Bangladesh for 178 to take a massive 353-run lead in the first innings. The visitors decided against enforcing a follow-on but were left struggling with their batting in the second innings, reaching 102-6 at stumps on the third day to extend their lead to 455 runs.

Debutant pacer Hasan Mahmud gave Bangladesh something to smile about with 4-51, while fellow pacer Khaled Ahmed also troubled the Sri Lankan batsmen with 2-29. But Angelo Mathews remained unbeaten on 39 alongside Prabath Jayasuriya, three not out, with the pair looking to extend Sri Lanka’s lead with the help of the tail-enders.

Lahiru Kumara, Vishwa Fernando and Jayasuriya earlier chipped in with two each as Sri Lanka claimed nine wickets in two sessions to leave the hosts flattened. Sri Lanka fast bowling coach Dharshana Gamage praised both sides.

“Both teams’ bowlers, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka bowled really well. We need to score another 50-60 runs, then we will be in a good position. I am pretty sure our bowlers will fight back,” Gamage said.
