you are looking at the half empty of the glass, think that we have past the massive total of 570 in a foreign land and give lead (although it was 68). but we did a huge job here.

Yay Mahmadullah

[Zunaid]

Great catch.

[silversurf]

60.2


Mahmudullah to Sangakkara, OUT, caught at short midwicket! Wake up people, a wicket has gone down! It was a short delivery on off stump, he could have hit it anywhere but he decides to go for a pull and doesn't get the elevation, hits it straight to the fielder at short midwicket, who takes a good sharp catch

its better to get rest in this already dead test match and prepare for the next one.

From cricinfo:
Niroshan Balasuriya: "So that was the plan discussed during lunch break. Getting out in first over and give some other to have a chance to score another 100 to make it 9 in total !!"

[Nadim]

on the card for debutant

That means SL is not thinking to accelerate.

[silversurf]

what about Tamim, any news

[WarWolf]

Like to see another close in fielder in short leg.

[WarWolf]

Is Shohag ok? When will he come to the ground?

[Nadim]

nasir ke bowl dey na ke? come on mushy...

[WarWolf]

Finally Dilu gone.

[Nadim]

What a catch from Abul

[Zunaid]

One more.

[WarWolf]

I like the way Mushy appreciated Abul. Signs of a good leader.

[WarWolf]

One more close in fielder Mushy. Put some pressure on this new pair.

[Shaan]

dilu was thinking of quick double here probably..

[godzilla]

Commo'n Srilanka, accelerate already. Put up a total and send Bangladesh to bat ... no point on draging it on
