Default BD survives second Ntini spell, forces Drinks

End of over 39 (6 runs) Bangladesh 124/7 (RR: 3.18 RRR: 178/11 = 16.18)
M Ntini 10-4-20-3 - Daly Ford End
Khaled Mashud 29* (78b 4x4) Tapash Baisya 24* (39b 2x4)

38.6 Ntini to Tapash Baisya, FOUR, outside off, flashes the drive, this
time gets bat to it, flies over point
38.5 Ntini to Tapash Baisya, no run, outside off, moves away, spars,
beaten, goes over the off stump
38.4 Ntini to Tapash Baisya, no run, outside off, flashes the drive at
it, beaten but not even close to the line
38.3 Ntini to Tapash Baisya, no run, outside off, comes in, quick, 142
kms, jumping towards leg, ball follows him, has to bend backwards
to get the body out of the way
38.2 Ntini to Tapash Baisya, no run, outside off, drives, beaten
38.1 Ntini to Tapash Baisya, two runs, leg side, back, off the pads,
runs away very fine,


A moral victory? A new record for the 8th wicket, a 50+ partnership, but I can't turn away until we force them to take Drinks! Can Pollock make BD stand out there and bat all day without the break.. seems like he got wind of the bet ?
