Could not agree more! I'm surprised no one has pointed that out yet. A target of 200 plus with about 6 per over required would have been a sporting and daring declaration and I can see the likes of ponting doing it. That would have made it a fascinating finale and there would have been a realistic chance of all three results.

Yes it is a record. Has any one scored a century and half century in one match yet.

[cricman]

Another 2 overs and they can call the match off right?

[Miraz]

Let's draw this match. One step at a time. Chasing for a win will be a suicide.

[Maysun]

I think our Isnaad bro just commented on CI:

Isnaad: "Has anyone noticed? Not a single scoring shot Ashraful has played till now has been comprehensive. And to think of it, this is the same person who scored 190 an innings ago!"

[Habib]

After the match ends, someone plz open a thread congratulating the team for securing our very first draw against a top 8 that hasn't been helped by weather.

Luckily we may not have enough time to get ourselves bowled out at this point.

I want them to bat till the end of the session. Why not doing some batting practice and adding few runs under their names?

You never know. We can spectacularly self-destruct.

Someone should tell Ashraful that there is a good chance for he being MoM here without being hush into wining it but having a regular unbeaten fifty. Its a goal he never can expect while Shakib is around in the squad.

[Miraz]

Jahurul is earning a place in the playing XI for Colombo Test while Mendis is losing his place.

[ms01]

Yeah Draw seems the likely outcome now! well played boys

[BengaliPagol]

Ash bhai shabdan.

[Maysun]

Who'll be adjudged the Man of the match? Mushfiq or Sanga?

[BD_TigerZ]

Id keep going.. for aumi nd mullah in next if someone goes..
