He only has to bat out the last 18 overs today and bat all day tomorrow and he should do it

saffer said:There wasn't even a chance go missing today....strange cricket...Smith could be looking at over 300 here....
Saj said:I can only commisserate with our BD fans on PP and congratulate saffer, JAF and co. on an amazing days cricket.
Must have been a pretty demoralising day for the BD team. Did they have any chances to take any wickets today?
You never know.. losing their concentration they might get out very first over. But BD will collapse on this very flat track.
saffer said:I think bangladesh coyuld escape with a draw....S.a will probably bat today without much damage and half tomorrow ...and then bangladesh need to bat out 2 and a half days...can be done on this wicket given S.a are playing Peterson who has no business posturing as a spin bowler....at least botha actually spins the ball...
Bangla Tiger said:even namibia could get a draw out of this pitch. doesn't matter who is the bowling attack. thats how flat this track is.
but our batsman won't score 300 even against cayman island's fearsome attack simply because they try to invent new ways to get out. i am starting to think our batsman actually actively try to get themselves out before the bowler does. i'll bet they have an inside thing where the brag on who can spend the least amount of time at the crease in a test. the rules go something like this:
- must hit at least 2 boundaries
- must not play a single sensical shot
- must get out to the loosest delivery possible
Yep, it's an absolute pwning at the moment.

OZGOD said:You still think the pitch is flat?
The goal for the Bangles is to keep wickets intact till stumps. They might be 2/7ths of a chance for a draw if they can do that.
saffer said:I think it's going to be hard to bowl them out twice....the pitch is doing nothing at all and we don't have a decent spinner playing this game...
to be honest steyn is a beast. still upset tho. tamim played as reckless as ever. even for an 18 year old he should have known that was coming.
There's an obvious love for the game, which is probably the main (only) thing going for BD at the moment. More so than a good national coach the country needs good administrator who can set out a direction for the game, improve infrastructure and grassroots and get funding from the ICC/government/partners/private corporations etc. Having a cricket culture is important as you can't create that overnight, but I really think BD needs a bottom-up approach to succeed.
saffer said:Relax...I see a lot of potential in the Bangladesh side...and judging by the crowds even on a day where you are 500 for 1 behind.....I see there is an obvious love for the game....it's only a matter of short time before you guys compete on a regular basis .
steyn is bowling everyone out with little effort at the moment ...seriously great spell yersterday on a docile wicket....3 wickets and 3 cracked helmets...
