Draw

in second innings, BD will make under 230, Sarwan/Lara/or Smithy will blaze with century,

but still, result will be Draw.

Depending on what WI get out for, that may not be enough ... if WI get 320 all out and BD get a quick 220, then thats 315 to win and a day to get it in.

A blazing century and 200 from everyone else (and extras) is thus a win to Bangladesh ...

ok, including the fact that it will most likely rain, if BD does give WI around 320 to win, Devon/Lara/Sarwan/Gayle/Smith are in very good form, i cant see that team being bowled out in 1 day.

I really wouldn't be that sure...confident batsmen don't give so many easy chances...just imagine if the Tigers had kept their nerves and caught those easy catches...

What does the sequence

Bridgetown, 94, Port of Spain, 209, Kingston, 47 mean to you ?

if BD had batted on those sort of pitches... do you really think that they would have made 400??? No

I will put my money on "most likely to rain".
An emerging fact is that Lara, as captain, miscalculated the tenacity of the BD batsmen. He will not do that again. That is the saving grace.

If Bangladesh is to win, it needs to win here and now. It may not happen on the faster pitch in Jamaica. if only we could have played with 12 men, adding Rana to the mix. An extra pair of hands would have ensured fewer dropped catches, too...

After Day 4... Predictions...

still a draw.

[reverse_swing]

we need to score another 80/100 runs

[Zobair]

Prediction:

Draw: 80% chance
WI win: 15%
Tigers Win: 5%

Our tail is good enough for approx. 60 runs. And if rajin and pilot and hang around for a couple of hours tomorrow morning we should have around a lead of 250-300. Windies simply won't be able to overhaul that target given their current state...and our bowling resources. Rafiq will be pretty difficult to play tomorrow.

Prediction:

Draw: 50% chance
WI win: 49%
Tigers Win: 1% (miracle)

We dropped our chance to win!

[reverse_swing]

If our batsman survive another 30 overs then

Draw: 60%

WI win: 10%(correction: actually 0%)

BD Win : 30%
