Australia defeats Bangladesh to level the series, wrapping up an innings victory within six sessions, and former opener Justin Langer criticises the trend of Tests ending in just two days. He describes such rapid results as “unacceptable,” pointing to their growing frequency.
Langer argues that short-duration Tests reflect deeper issues in batting technique and footwork, and he raises concerns about how these matches could affect the sport’s overall integrity and its financial sustainability. Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto, in contrast, attributes the outcome to challenging conditions and stresses the need for Bangladesh to gain more international experience.
