Zainuddin Rahman scored a delightful maiden Test century on his home ground. Afghanistan put up an imposing 441 for their first-innings. Despite all this, the inexperienced Belgian bowling attack had one bright spot in Mattheus Scheerders, who bowled with good control to pick 5/97 from his 31 overs.

With the serious threat of losing a home series, Brazil's batsmen stood up quite brilliantly. Every one of their top five crossed fifty, with Eduardo Soares and Andre Freitas going on to score 132 and 163 respectively. The latter redeemed himself after three ducks in the series. They finished just 16 short of 600 before the stand-in skipper closed the innings.

Butch Jones' return to the Jamaican Test side was a triumphant one. He dismissed both the Chilean openers in the first over of the match itself. A century from skipper Alexis Sanchez, along with gritty half-centuries from Benedicto Mendoza and debutant Carlos Fontes helped Chile rebuild to post 340.

Chile threw away a great opportunity to set Jamaica a daunting target with Sanchez and Fontes sending the opposition's bowlers to all parts of the ground. They lost 8 wickets for a mere 45 runs after the 161-run stand was broken and could only set Jamaica a below-par 209 with the best part of two days remaining.

There were sparks of brilliance from Jack Ryder and Tipene Waaka, but Niue were once again undone by the Bangladeshi pace attack. Bubere finished the match with 9 wickets to his name, leaving his team to chase a very simple 73 to win the Test.

The match could have ended a lot sooner if Aftab Mossain had continued his pyrotechnics. Nonetheless, Bangladesh emerged victorious in the one-off Test by a convincing 8-wicket margin.

Bangladesh won the one-off Test series
 
What a way to start off the league, great bowling first of all and then good batting. A man of the match is a great way to start an international career. ;)
 
Signups open, any teams free to manage? Sweden if available or Wales 2nd choice…
 
I'm pretty sure both of those are available, Wales certainly is. Although no matter who you pick, you'll still be crushed by the Lithuanian juggernaut!

On a slightly more serious note I might write a European Cup preview before that competition starts, although that very much depends on me getting a few free hours over the next couple of days, and with various family stuff and Hogmanay coming up that might not happen...
