Bangladesh vs India, 2nd Test, Mirpur, Jan 24-28

hope this does it's bit in convincing bcci, that it is not wise to play with 2 seamers in conditions outside home pitches.

Ta.

So it's a record Banger partnership so far, at least.

this isn't funny anymore...

So that'd be only the 2nd 150 score by a Banger then? Well played, young man.

And the 1st ever 200 partnership by the Bangers.

It looks like a glorified net session.

Not funny definitely, but you can't do much if there is no third seamer. It curtails a lot of options for the capt and the spinners are slightly unlucky.

Way to go, Tamim! Get out while the nightwatchman is there with 2 overs to go til stumps

Zak removes Tamim for 151.

A microcosm of why Bangla are such pants-monkeys.

What a shame about those last 2 wickets.

Yeah that's what Dravid lacks, ticker....

Incredibly positive and good batting by Tamim. This test suddenly got very interesting. Dravid out, and the way our bowlers are bowling, SA should roll us over in the next 2 tests. Ouch!

This test is now suddenly open. Bangars can actually challenge us if they get a 200 run lead.

Tamim is starting to look like a real class act. He's certainly no worse than either of Pakistan's 2 left hand openers. n fact, I think Bangladesh in general are almost as good as Pakistan these days.

I see Bhajji being tonked again while someone who took 7 wickets and scored a 50 in the last test was overlooked for this test to play Bhajji.

When will Dhoni ever learn?

Got to say if I were Dhoni I'd be very tense right now.

B'desh are now only 63 behind with 7 wickets still remaining.

Yeah ...might only win by 10 wickets and not by an innings

It's all a set up to allow Gambhir the chance to score a hundred in 6 successive Tests.

they may not win at all. 2 seamers are not sufficient if the pitch is not conducive.

Even Shahadat is hitting 6s.

Not looking good.

I say B'desh would like to set at least 250-300 for India to chase and considering we're so poor in chasing 4th innings scores and that Dravid and Yuvraj won't be batting, we're truly have no hopes from this game.

You learning from the Aussie forumers SG?

Lead less than 40 now.

What? Woofing?

No way. India are goner in this game. And thats a fact.

More proof of that,

Shahadat hits another 6.

Mishra drops a sitter.

Now Mishra drops a sitter.

This is getting better and better.
