regardless of what other people say, think, i think Bangladesh has done a fabulous job in the first test in chittagong i give them 10/10. because:

they passed 240 in each of the innings,
and restricted opposition below 200(rarely does it happen in our cricket history, right?)

mistakes from Ashraful as a captain is unaviodable and as a batsmen and a fielder because we all know about his character...

Vettori did a brilliant job, let's say we didn't make those little mistakes here and there then i think it was a still a "maybe" that we would win because chasing 172 runs with 90 overs(1 day) and eight wickets is a piece of cake in test cricket(regarless of oppostion) given the pitch conditions....but alhamdulillah i am very happy we narrowed our loss margin to 3 wickets , let's not forget umpire helped too in our cause.

if i am to be critical, i would blame Bangladesh's top order failure aside from Shakib, Rahim and a couple of others in the 2nd innings.

let's face it: Shahadat Hossain can't produce 6/27 every innings...

anyways, 2nd test match, i hope we do well.
