that 'well' means just better than 98/8!!!

And about retaining the test status, it never happened before. But, atleast it would be better than getting kicked out of the test teams.
I will quote the article RazabQ posted.

Ah, but what about when South Africa were bowled out for 170 in their first innings at Mirpur, earlier this very year? I would retort that for every short-lived Mirpur “mirage” there is also a reality-check Chittagong, where the Proteas passed 400 without loss of a wicket, just a few days on, and duly won the series 2-0 anyway. Ho-hum and ho-hum again.
You see, we may win sessions and gain moral victories, but to an unbiased observer, is that reason enough to watch this team toil through three or four (and in the rarest of occasions, five) meaningless days of test cricket where the outcome is as one-sided as it gets?
