happy to see this prediction of mine came true...but worried about the nature of this pitch. It's a lottery, it really is. Seems that just one half-decent partnership (which Bangladesh got in the first innings, while we didn't) is enough to turn the game. yeah its strange cuz ZIM was actually ahead...

Good thing we got rid of 4 guys at the top...another wicket and we should be into the tail. Ideally, I'm looking to see us bat again no later than lunchtime . Hopefully we can bat a good 4 sessions after that which should give us a fair total. I'm willing to give our boys the benefit of the doubt i...

warwolf bhai, no need to make petty excuses here...the long journey, fatigue/jet lag...thats only an intra-bangladeshi discussion to help us realize that we can't blame them for 188 on what seems to be a tough pitch against an attack which is probably better than their first string bowling corps. we...

From a Bangladesh fan:

Hold your heads up high, even when things don't go as you planned. Test cricket is for the very best, and therefore you do deserve your spot! Best of luck.

Do draws even happen in Test cricket these days? I also don't think a draw is on the cards...although these two teams had one the last time they met with weaker batting lineups.
