Far better then what we did the last time around.
Hats off to Pilot for his captains knock.
Manju's revenge was sweet but can he bowl as well as he batted ? 21 runs, his highest and will probably be the same for a while to come.
Sanwar (36) and Ashraful (28) did well but I believe they could have gone on longer. That partnership was building up well. Hopefully Ashraful is going to get back some of that lost confidence. He is still very young and failures shouldn't keep him down. Give him 2/3 years of continous cricket and this boy could be our biggest star for years to come.
43 for 1 in the first wicket may not seem much but they did good. I thought they'd go on for a while.
Failure ? Sumon really. Kapali isn't a failure cause he is still new and for him to be a failure, he has to play atleast 5-10 more tests and then scores 2's and 3's.
200 would have been better but I'll take the 194 specially after going down to 125 for 6. Great job by the bowlers. All they have to do now is bowl well and take some quick wickets.
