***Official*** West Indies in Bangladesh 2012

[AndyZaltzHair]

Rampaul causing few problems

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

100 partnership comes up, needs to carry on

 

[Daemon]

Impressive. Reckon they can draw the match now that they're most likely going to avoid the follow on.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Bangladesh moving on serenely today. Good stuff. Be nice if one of these at least gets a ton from here.

 

[cricman]

Shakib has intentions to get to Triple Digits before the New Ball is taken

EDIT: Sigh

Going to need middle to bottom need to continue grinding

 

[CricAddict]

Nasir is slotted at 10 but surely would come in at 8..
But still, should someone who is taken in the team as a pure batsman(bowled 1 out of 144 overs) come in this late?

Normally no, but I don't actually mind it for Bangladesh as a draw would be a solid result for them and when you have Shakib and Mushfiqur in the team they don't exactly have a conventional XI.

In saying that, I was surprised that he only bowled the one over, he surely could have come on to at least bowl the over that Tamim bowled!

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Missed out on a hundred there Shakib; just came inside stadium and he got out, well played though

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Shakib will be fuming he has missed the ton but job done really as they almost saved the follow on. Such a weird batting line up though with 5-7 being the best players other than Tamim.

 

[NUFAN]

I think Naeem > Mahmudullah so then its just a couple of relatively experienced batsman (Siddique and Nafees) in between.

I still think there could be a few twists and turns in this match, only just approaching the half way point.

 

[Daemon]

Shakib

 

[cricman]

Good for Naeem

He was on 98 for some time

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Good one Naeem

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Well done Naeem Islam on a first test ton. Bangladesh could get a lead here the way they are going.

 

[Hurricane]

I've gone off Tamim - too many shots for my liking.

 

[Stapel]

So the Bangladesh #8 has a higher batting average than all but two of his team mates?

 

[cricman]

One way or the other, I have the feeling there will be a result in this match

 

[Bahnz]

If there is one, I struggle to see Bangladesh being on the right side of it. They just don't have the bowling.

 

[Howe_zat]

True. Even if West Indies collapse hilariously tomorrow I'd say Bangladesh are more likely to lose chasing 250 in a day than if they were "chasing" 350 in two sessions, or whatever they'd be set.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Edwards would have been better bet than Tino Best esp against us.

Narine has been pretty dull so far; not really sure if the pitch will deteriorate enough enforcing a result.
