WHAT THEY SAID
Yes, yes, yes... after a long time. It was good to hear it
-- Courtney Walsh, who said before the match that he wants to hear the victory song after the 100th Test.
As a team, the England one [win in Dhaka in 2016] was very important. And this too, it's the hundredth Test, so this is also very important. How can I decide? After losing the Galle Test, all the seniors decided that we would have a meeting before each and every game from now. I think that was the game changer. The birthday [Tamim turned 28 today] will be with family. Of course, this is the best possible birthday gift.

This is feeling very good. Hundredth Test, I didn't think I would be able to play, but I got the opportunity and thankfully played well, and I am happy that the team won. No I have not been able to forget the pain [of being at the crease during the 21-run defeat to England in the Chittagong Test, his debut match]. This win has lessened it a little, but that still hurts.

The two are different. That [win against England in Dhaka in 2016] was the first win against a big team and this is also against a big team in their own backyard. All in all I am elated.
-- Taijul Islam
When I came in, I made up my mind that I would try and finish the match as soon as possible. I am not thinking about how I played, just playing in the match feels good. Beating Sri Lanka feels good. Winning feels good.
