with our bowling "attack" and the placid nature of this wicket, we need to get as many runs on the board as possible before we bowl...as it is, we have squandered much of the advantage of a good start, let's just see how far dhoni and the tail can take us now...

**Official** India in Bangladesh

true...but im really not sure abt what india should do now. They are like in the middle....should they score quickly and try to get as many as they can or should they try to play out a session or two. If they score quickly, they may lose quick wickets and get less than 450. if they try to play slowly, the same could happen.
the real question is; are india likely to get 600 atm....if not, they might as well play 15 overs tomm and then declare. Getting 450 instead of 500 isnt a big deal in this situation IMO.

.....summing up the total number of overs, we had something like just a day of play to be honest.
And the pitch is as it was on the first day, maybe besides a crack or two.
So the confusing thing is - Should India bat and score something close to 550 or 600 runs? Or should they bat one more session and be content with that?
Should they try to bowl Bangladesh out consecutively?
My view on this matter is this - Bangladesh has not played a single Test match in a long, long, long time! True, that the last time they did play a test they were great in one and okay in another, but this team is a pretty different looking one than that team which played the Aussies.
It wouldn't be such a bad idea to declare ASAP and then put the Deshis in to bat. Bangladesh does have a nice way of gifting away wickets on good batting tracks (as Whatmore said during the ODI series, "We are very kind people, we like gifting away runs/wickets to our opponents").....meh, they become too happy I guess 
!
Hmm, at the very best, Bangladesh CAN play out two days and I do know they can (just Shahriar Nafees needs to have a few good sessions and the Bangers are in for a good game
), and this match would end up in a draw.
For the organizers, I would like to suggest to them to avoid placed near the bay where it rains a lot, for organizing important matches such as a TEST or the FINAL ODI of a series

Good point. However, the pitch was supposed to change it's nature on the third day and there was supposed to be some turn for the spinners. That would have been good news for India. But unless the pitch gets some good beating for over 50 overs on the second day, the nature is very unlikely to change

It's not like the batsmen cannot bat and are new. It's the bowlers who need to give a good show.
Why? Why not let the bowlers have a go?

I would love India to try and go for a result, since a draw will be disasterous for them in the Test rankings.
Declaring now is a must and then looking to bowl out Bangladesh with attacking fields is also necessary. Something tells me though, that that is not going to happen.
