The Tigers face Pakistan today in first of their two test matches against the visitors. The entire nation will be looking forward to see them displaying once again the same brilliance with which they trounced Pakistan in one day international and T20 matches. However, the tigers should not suffer from complacence, as a Test match is a different ball game. It is more a matter of temperament than skill, of application than merit. Furthermore, in these matches the visiting team will feature two of their most experienced players, Misbahul Haque and Younis Khan. It is not likely to be easy for the Tigers to dominate over their opponents in the longer version of the game in the same manner as they have done in ODI and T20 matches. They will have to play consistently well for five days. The first test will be played in Khulna and second one in Dhaka. The Tigers are in peak form now and naturally they are the favourites. Moreover the morale of Pakistan cricket team is all time low now which will be an added advantage for us. But we should not relax. Rather, we should try and put in our best in test matches also, to prove that emphatic victories in ODI and T20 matches were not a mere flash in the pan. Best of luck for the Tigers for the Test series!
