Mohammad Rafique 55-11-112-4 out of 156.2 overs. Hardly possible to bowl him more, is it?

Isn't anyone following the match today? Bangladesh just averted the follow-on thanks to Mohammad Ashraful, who is coasting to a 2nd Test century (91* off 169). He has already hit two sixes of Price and one off Ervine. Apparently he has quite a good record against spinners, having scored a debut century and a 75 against the Sri Lankan spin attack (a.k.a. Murali) and a 77 against Pakistan. Bangladesh 246/5, Shahriar Hossain opening with 48 and Rajin Saleh a typically gritty 49 off 136. Habibul made an unfortunate start to his captaincy with a duck, but it's good to see the other batsmen performing well. 
Streak 17-9-22-2. Economical!
Ashraful moves to 98*...

Come on Zim!!!
They really should be making more inroads than they are, I expect them to trounce Bangladesh, and I wouldnt really be satisfied with a draw from them...

I really don't think the captaincy is good for Habibul.

Bangladesh accepted the light at the end of day 3 (106.2 overs), and are currently 9/313 in reply to Zim's first innings total of 441. Which means Bangladesh still trail Zim by 128 runs.
Manjural Islam Rana is on 30* and Manjural Islam is on 3*
Very good effort by Bangladesh, and fantastic bowling by Streak who picked up 4/44 off 26.2 overs.
Lets see what day 4 hold instore for us :P

That could well be stumps on day 3 at 9/313 with the light being accepted by the Bangladeshi batsmen. Bangladesh could have hoped for a bit more at 5/259 but they will probably be fairly satisfied just to have batted 100+ overs and all but ensure that the match goes into a fifth day. This is also their highest total against Zimbabwe and their 4th highest in all Tests. Zimbabwe might be a bit disappointed, a couple of dropped chances: Mushfiqur on 14 (made 44) and Manjural Islam Rana on 0 (now 30*). Blignaut (18-3-70-1) and Ervine (12-2-52-0) both very expensive. Should be a good day tomorrow especially if Zimbabwe look to score quick runs and send Bangladesh in late in the day.

I predict a duck for Ebrahim, a hundred for Gripper, a declaration, and suprise suprise, HEAPS of overs from Mohammed Rafique.
I also expect Sean Ervine to get the last wicket of the Ban innings with a slower ball.

Who is the alternative? Is Javed Omar about?
He is my captain on C2004

I'd never had sacked Mahmud.
Omar's injured - then there's Rafique (although having to bowl all day might be enough..)
Then (outside bet) Nafis Iqbal from the Under 19s who seems a confident leader.

He would never have been able to do the job properly with his constant lack of performances, and the crowd starting to boo and jeer him...Neil Pickup said:

Well, Ebrahim is 11*, Gripper out for 5, declaration and heaps of overs from Rafique still possible, and Blignaut got the last wicket of the innings.Prince EWS said:
Zimbabwe are going to have to step up the run rate considerably if they want to bowl late in the day, which looks unlikely at this stage.

Interesting declaration. 100 overs to bowl Bangladesh out...I like that. Shows a will to win IMO (and also, perhaps, that Streak didn't really want to bat todaySquidAU said:
)Edit: Bashar gone for a two-ball duck, Bdesh 14/2. So much for predictions league...
