Bishoo bashes Bangladesh as Windies claim series

DHAKA, (Reuters) – Spinner Davendra Bishoo completed  his maiden five-wicket haul as Bangladesh collapsed either side  of lunch on the fifth day of the second test to succumb to a  229-run defeat to the West Indies today.
Resuming after the interval on 263 for six, Bangladesh lost  their last four wickets for just 15 runs in a little over seven  overs to be dismissed for 278 as the tourists secured a 1-0  victory in the two-match series.

Bishoo claimed two wickets in the first over after the break  when he trapped Nasir Hossain lbw for three before Suhrawadi  Shuvo offered up a catch to skipper Darren Sammy at slip without  scoring a couple of deliveries later.
Naeem Islam (three) soon fell to Bishoo to give the  leg-spinner his fifth wicket, before Kemar Roach bowled last man  Rubel Hossain (also for three) to complete an easy victory that  had appeared to be drifting away from the tourists earlier on.
West Indies were largely frustrated in the morning session  before they removed home skipper Mushfiqur Rahim and Shakib Al  Hasan in a three-over span before lunch after the duo frustrated  had them with a dogged 88-run fifth-wicket stand.
Sammy claimed the wicket of Shakib, who managed to spoil all  of his good work by mistiming an improvised shot that took a  leading edge to Shivnarine Chanderpaul at slip for 55.
Rahim soon followed when Bishoo bowled him for 69 to expose  the tail and the spinner eventually finished with test-best  figures of 5-90 as Bangladesh lost their last six wickets for 22  runs in less than 12 overs.

RAHIM DISAPPOINTED
“It’s really good to win,” Sammy told reporters.
“We left home hoping to come out here and play well. After  playing and working hard, it’s good. We all knew that Bangladesh  would put up a fight.
“The captain, Shakib and Tamim (Iqbal) posed challenges but  we believed in our bowling unit that showed that we could  achieve things.”
Bangladesh captain Rahim rued an inability among his batsmen  to apply themselves to the task at hand.
“Our top order batsmen could not play big innings which was  really important to save the match,” he said.
“Getting out when we looked set is our main problem. We lack  in temperament, we need to develop the habit of playing big  innings and spending longer at the crease.”
Chasing a world record target of 508, Bangladesh resumed on  164-3 and suffered a major blow in just the third over of the  morning when the third umpire ruled that opener Tamim Iqbal was  caught by Sammy off Bishoo for 83.
The on-field official was unable to determine if the fuller  delivery was a bump ball but the third umpire clarified the  delivery had hit the ground before the bat and gave Tamim out  after he had added a single to his overnight total.
The rain-hit first test was drawn in Chittagong last week.
