Bangladesh doing what few others have...

[Beny]

Whilst I'm sure the conditions are well suited towards batsmen, I also dont think we should underate the Bangladeshi batsmen of whom their are a few shining lights... They are young players who have started to build some experiance. That said, I dont think their bowling should cause too many problems.

First the batsmen,then the bowlers.They have reduced Australia to 52 for the loss of 3 wickets.Come on BD,you can do it.

Hmmm... I take it back

The Tigers appear to have put themselves into a position of winning this Test Match, well, at least to give themselves a chance of winning this game. If any other team had Australia on the ropes like this we would be saying Australia could lose this Test.

Even if there is a hundred run partnership the score would look from 145-6 to 245-6 still about 170 runs behind. Bangladesh show what they are made of.

Bangladesh is 282 runs ahead, and if the last innings is an indication, the lead would be roughly 300-315. This should stop the australian juggernaut. I hope that Bangladesh wins this game. And it looked nice for once, the captain taking his words back and saying that Bangladesh deserves it's test status.

Suddenly the invincibles are not looking invincible anymore. I am loving the way Bangladesh is doing it. Win or no win, at the end of the day 5, Bangladesh will get the much needed mental boost. Everyone had been putting them down. Now they have to get up and take notice.

I am also waiting for another team to show up on the international arena and that is Afghanistan.

in retrospect (but not only so) - i think it is a stretch to call this attack excellent. doing so implies that at least 4 test nations have excellent attacks: being at the very least, equal to this one.

and "excellent" is too strong a word to describe even one current test attack - unless we are simply grading all in relation to other current attacks...nah, even then!

btw, a BIG congrats to BD - seriously hoping you gain the respect you deserve...or is that deserve the respect you've gained?
