Counting our chickens before they hatch

Hey guys, I want Bangladesh to win more than anything. But a lot of people on this board are going overboard with their excitement as if Bangladesh had won already.

We haven't, we still have serious work to do, we need to get Inzamam and Saqlain out before they put on too may runs, a 113 run lead is still gettable with 4 wickets.

Assuming that we have won will lead to crushing disappointment if we don't. Let's be excited and hopeful and see how it turns out. Bangladesh are winners no matter the result. We have shown tremendous heart and hard work in this series, and that is something that Pakistan can't take away from us.

For the people who have followed this series, BD losing this test will not be a total dissappointment for them. Second test was both dissapointing and shocking,
Plus sujon's comment was ridiculous.

This test, although we failed to continue our batting development as much as we would have liked, we have fought back with good bowling to take some control of the match so far.

I am not worried about who we played against. This was a test level performance for our playes. Hope we are going in the right direction and adding all these experiences along the way and keeping the good habits and getting rid of the bad habits. With time all these newly found performances by our team will look more natural and transform the whole team to a different level.
