Bangladesh v Pakistan, 2nd Test, Mirpur May 5, 2015 Bangladesh’s batting pioneers in longevity

DHAKA, May 6 (NsNewsWire) — When it is a two-man club, the exclusivity creates a mutual admiration society. Mushfiqur Rahim and Tamim Iqbal are Bangladesh’s only double-centurions in Tests and have a lot of praise for each other.

Considering that there have been 340 200-plus individual innings in Test history, two is only a drop in the ocean. Pakistan have 38 such scores in their history, reports  www.espncricinfo.co.

Still, it is a worthy subject in Bangladesh and particularly among the duo who are now the flag-bearers of long innings in the country.

After his 206 in Khulna helped Bangladesh draw a Test against Pakistan for the first time, Tamim said that it would be Mushfiqur who would surpass his 206. “I think it will be broken in the next 12 months. Mushfiqur is most likely to break it. He is our best batsman. I know that he is very happy about my score. He helped me through tough times,” Tamim said.
