Mohammad Rafique - 103 not out

West Indies' stocks were dealt one more cruel blow when Mohammad Rafique, batting at nine, completed his maiden Test hundred for Bangladesh on the second day of the opening Test on Saturday.

Already frustrated by the slow nature of the Beausejour Stadium pitch and early morning rain that precipitated a wet outfield, the ineptitude of Brian Lara's side was cruelly exposed by a left-hander whose previous highest score in Test was 32.

Rafique, aged 29, heaped more scorn on West Indies when he square drove Ramnaresh Sarwan through cover for four to reach his milestone and lift Bangladesh to their highest total in 29 Tests, a monumental 406 for nine when bad light stopped play 7.5 overs early.....detail
