Haha, wonder if that's happened before. Number 4 out to bat without a wicket lost.

HRG writes in once more to say that this is the first time that both openers have retired in the history of Test cricket. Over a 100 years and it took the heat and humidity of Mirpur to do it.

A very good day for Indians today, making 326 for no loss. Both Karthik and Jaffer should be ready for tomorrow(i hope).

Mind you with Dravid and Sachin at the crease they could have a very long wait And if its any consolation for BD, even mighty Australia once "achieved" a day where there were more retiremenets than wickets - Jamaica '99 (Collins was the retirement then Lara and Adams bated through)

Anyone know how many times a batting side has gone through the opening day without losing a wicket?

I remember Marsh and Taylor doing it against England in 1989 ... or was it '93?

While it is tempting to wish for India getting another 400 runs on day 2 and declare at 725+, I hope they dont make a hash out of trying to accelerate the run rate. Exactly this has been the tripping point for this Indian team against this Bangla team in the last two months.

WC: Saurav & Yuraj were going OK, then all fell down. 1st test, 1st innings 295-3 to 390-8, 2nd innings 100-6. 1st ODI except for Kathik & Dhoni and actually 2nd ODI too saw a bit of a disappointment at the finish (220-4 with 10 overs to go should've been more than 300 and 284-8 was a bit tame).

From this start (325-0) anything less than 700-750 will be a disappointment. Looking for tons from Dravid & Karthik (almost there) and atleast one more from the 3 remaining bats.
