Good post, razabq.

Now here's the main question

If we do get em short of the follow on target, but they are close enough, do we enforce it? Or we bat again and go for a quick 150 odd runs and then make them bat. I really would not like us to have to bat last in case Zim averts an innings defeat possibility.
I also think, Bangladesh should not force the follow on (if they get the chance); rather go for batting at 3rd innings to apply some whirlwind for quick runs. Because-

1. It will be tough to bat on this track at fourth inninngs. (for pitch conditions, pressure etc.).

2. I would say, our batting is not yet dependable. You never know when the collapse will happen, but 80% of time you know it will happen - mostly under pressure (I'm assuming, Zimbos can collect a good total by batting in 2nd & 3rd innings).
