Here lies the problem. Jhorey bok morey, ar forik'er keramoti barey. You are wrong and we are right. Doesn't matter if you are looking at the scorecard only at the end of the day and not watching the proceedings at real time.

Central time: 11:20AM You created this thread saying BD is in commanding position with 5 down and 120+ odds behind. That is in present tense. Not knowing the future.

Then to justify the fallacy you quote:

Then Bangladesh did what they have done so regularly in 2016 - given away a good start and looked like a team hell-bent on self-destruction.Bizarre last half hour, really. They were on cruise control until poor shot selection and Sandakan's magic has given Sri Lanka more than just a shout at taking at lead and with it the advantage. The decision to send in a nightwatchman spectacularly backfired. That means Mushfiqur and Shakib will have a lot of batting to do as Bangladesh try to whittle down the led. The surface has eased out, but we've often see how the ball behaves strangely early in the day, and so they'll have to bat with a degree of caution if they are to keep Bangladesh in the hunt for a lead. Join us at 9.30am for what should be a decisive day in this Test.
I don't see any commanding position assertion comment here and check out the larger font. It is in future tense.

Lucky that Shakib learned something from Chandimal's innings for that day only or else we would be in dire trouble.
