Boy o boy, I went to sleep after it started it raining with 3 wickets down for 49 runs for Bangladesh.
Kudos to Mortaza and Shahadat for BATTING and BOWLING or should I rather say for being the whole team
?
Good start. They let it loose a tad bit I thikn on the first day but a draw is DEFINITELY still on

I haven't really been following this series, so can someone tell me why Sreesanth isn't here? I know Munaf left due to injury.

Has a virus I think.

Don't know the details but the scorecard says he was retired hurt. Obviously a big blow to India.
Despite the injuries and the rain, India should have finished off the game after they had BD reeling. Still the game isn't over. BD couldn't bat 70 overs despite their fightback so it won't be easy to survive 60-70 overs tomorrow. Sachin will probably be given the ball earlier and he could play a key role if the seamers get a few breakthroughs.

Yeah virus, blessing in disguise. Kumble tearing Bangladesh a new one would have meant nothing, we had to see what VRV and RP had to offer. Same with Zaheer even tbh.

So how did they do? Didn't see most of the game but from the scorecards they seem to have flopped just at the crunch when India was within sniffing distance of enforcing the follow-on. Both Hossain and Mortaza beat their previous highest test score comfortably in a big pressure situation. Doesn't say much for the bowling.

Hopefully Kumble can recover from his illness and play a bit tomorrow.

This might sound pretty dumb but if agression is the key to Bangladesh scoring runs in tests, then I would say Tamim should be drafted into the test sqaud as a late middle order batsman.
Mortaza could be promoted up the order one rank too me thinks.

Was it just me or did other indian supporters think this as well?
8 down and i thought here we go again and well the rest is history.
Good effort to get 8 wickets i guess but from what the reports it was more of a case of Bangladesh and umpires gifting the wickets to indian bowlers.
It be good if india come out attacking tomorrow and maybe get around 100 runs quickly so they have at least around 70 overs to bowl at Bangladesh but i somehow doubt they'll be that positive... its always safety first.

LOL @ Habibul Bashar, he wouldn’t play such a shot in ODI cricket but awesome reflexes from Sachin, ball went like a tracer bullet. Mortaza's innings was superb, gave Zaheer Khan the run around and it was slightly concerning to see Zaheer once the ball has got old become cannon fodder again.
In regard to India I was disappointed for Dravid, a leg stump half volley is not the sort of dismissal a player of his quality should succumb too but Wasim Jaffer getting a pair on this wicket is beyond poor.

Yeah what a catch that was from Tendulkar. Anyways, I went to sleep after it started raining again thinking it won't restart. But wow the Indians were Indians once again and failed to finish things off quickly.

Mid 80s, however, RP Singh was clocking it quicker from what I saw.

I reckon a second day scenerio here. Play will start but very very late. If that does happen, India need to go out there and smash 50 quick runs and then but Bangladesh into bat IF they want to draw but draw playing good interesting cricket. Otherwise they can bat till the end and make this match even more duller than it is (because of the rain and not the play which has been interesting in all manner).
