I was about to write something about that and saw you. You are dead right. He counter attacked and paved the way, so to speak, for Sakib to join in and give it a further boost. Very important knock in the context of historic standpoint . We consider him as a cornerstone of our batting order since he bats right in the middle. He already is a very good one day player and also showed his mental strength in this test. This WI pace attack is very good as well.
