They're still only on the third day and lead by 400 runs.

 

[hendrix]

hate seeing tests like this.

Cmon Mahela, get a 200! Havent seen a big 250+ score for a while and heres a chance...even if its against Bangladesh

tbh Jayawardene when he retires will probs be up there with the Pontings/Tendulkars, what a gun!!

This is brutally depressing for Bangladesh

I like him, but no

 

[stumpski]

Teaching them a lesson, tbh. I expect Matthews will declare when Vithanage gets his ton, he's getting there at a blistering rate. 321-1 today.

 

[stumpski]

First time Bangladesh have conceded 700.

 

[YorksLanka]

well batted to Kithruwan on your maiden test century, well done young man and a decent strike rate too...come on mahela, hit out or get out adn lets get at the Bangladeshi's tonight...

 

[hendrix]

ok surely the declaration...

 

[slowerball]

bat until tea tomorrow, have a crack at beating the highest score in a test innings, send Bangladesh in for the 3rd session, have them 3-4 down by stumps atleast... bowl them out before tea on the last day...

 

[Athlai]

God damn it Sri Lanka.

 

[slowerball]

or they can just declare now...

 

[OverratedSanity]

Thank god thats over. Now we can watch Mominul score a triple

 

[YorksLanka]

FInally!!

 

[hendrix]

I really, really hate tests like this.

If the BCEAICB gets rid of these good on them.

 

[slowerball]

now everyone, take your guess at how many wickets Bangla will lose tonight?

 

[Athlai]

The worst thing is Bangladesh aren't that bad a Test team, it is more a case of Sri Lanka excelling at facing the Banger style attack. Rubbish seamers and decent spin.

They're also brought up in a domestic scene where they manage to craft these big innings against exactly this type of bowling. No other team in the world would crush Bangladesh as badly as Sri Lanka and the fact they're the test team Bangladesh play the most really hampers their development in my opinion. They aren't just magically going to turn into a team that doesn't rely entirely on passably Test class spinners.

Whatever Tamim's match fee is, he should be fined all of it and then some by his team-mates for that shot....
