WI vs BAN 2nd Test: Jayden brings back memories of Bapu Nadkarni 60 years ago with poor bowling, Bangladesh in trouble at Kingston

West Indies vs Bangladesh, 2nd Test: Bangladesh were cheaply all-out in the first innings of the Kingston Test in front of West Indies' bowling on fire.

In the first Test of the series against the West Indies, Bangladesh had to lose virtually one-sidedly. This time, Mehdi Hasan Miraj's start of the rain-interrupted second Test was not memorable. Bangladesh were cheaply all-out in the first innings of the second Test at Kingston.

It is noteworthy that Joy den Sills set an excellent example with the ball in the first innings of the Kingston Test. Not for taking the most wickets for the team in this innings, but the Caribbean pacer wrote his name in the record books for miserly bowling. He brought back a memory from 60 years ago.

Joyden Sills brings back memories of Bapu Nadkarni

 India's Bapu Nadkarni bowled 32 overs and took 27 maidens in the first innings of the Chennai Test against England in 1964. He spent 1 run in the remaining 5 overs. That is, Nadkarni spent only 5 runs in 32 overs. His economy rate in that innings was 0.15. It is the all-time record for miserly bowling in Test history.

This time, in the first innings of the Kingston Test against Bangladesh, West Indies' Joyden Sills bowled 15.5 overs and took 4 wickets for just 5 runs with 10 maidens. So, he spends 0.31 runs per over. This is the second best economy rate by a bowler who has bowled at least 15 overs in a complete Test innings. In other words, Seals' bowling performance in this innings ranks second in the list of worst bowlers in a Test innings after Bapu Nadkarni.

 Apart from Sills, only Umesh Yadav has bowled at least 15 overs in a Test innings since 2000 and bowled less than 0.50 runs per over. In the 2015 Delhi Test against South Africa, Umesh's economy rate was 0.42.

Cheap all-out Bangladesh in the first innings

 Bangladesh were all out for just 164 runs in the first innings of the Kingston Test due to Seals' brilliant bowling. Opener Sadman Islam scored a half-century. He scored 64 runs off 137 balls. Hit 5 fours and 1 six. Besides, Shahadat Hossain scored 22, Mehdi Hasan Miraj 36 and Taijul Islam scored 16 runs. None of the others could reach double-digit runs. Bangladesh's first innings lasted 71.5 overs.

Apart from Seals' 4 wickets, Shamar Joseph took 3 wickets for 49 runs in the first innings for West Indies. Kemar Roach took 2 wickets for 45 runs. Alzari Joseph took 1 wicket for 29 runs.

Batting in turn, West Indies batted 37 overs at the end of the second day and scored 70 runs for 1 wicket in their first innings. Currently, the Caribbean team is behind Bangladesh by 94 runs in the first innings. Mikail Lewis was dismissed for 12 runs. Craig Brathwaite remained unbeaten on 33 and Casey Carty on 19 at the end of the second day.
