If we can get a 300 run lead...it's gonna be 50-50 in terms of the result. Chasing 300 in the 4th innings of a test match is really hard.
The key for us is for Sumon and Rajin to continue batting well into the morning session. If we can go into lunch with a 200 run lead and 7 or 6 wickets remaining...we could perhaps accelerate with Kapali coming in and even get a 330 lead by tea. If Sumon stays, anything is possible. A rr of 3.5 for tomorrow is quite doable.
And Sujon better use Mashrafee all out when we bowl. I don't care if he has to bowl him 25 overs...Masri and Rafiq have got to bowl a lot for us to win. Also, we need a couple of wickets from part timers. Rajin got Youhanna out in the first innings and that helped us tremendously. A wicket or 2 from our captain or Kapali will be a big boost.
I really want to go for the win. A draw gains respect in the short term but after a while ppl will think it was just a rain affected draw or something. A win will really change the perception of our Tigers in people's minds.
Go Tigers Go!!!
