Ooops done him in but point still stands, to be playing like this as a teenager how good will he be once he has matured and knows his game inside out, a real find for Bangladesh.

good innings from Mushfiqur but that's the wicket we needed..Our fielding has been so sloppy in this match, no excuse for that..

The frustrating part about being Bangladesh is when the ROW is so clueless about you, they are still stuck in 2001 when you used to hope you cross 100 in the first innings, that they come to you and say "oh Bangladesh played well man" at 312/9, clearly expecting them to fold for 100.

No they did not play well you dumb ****s. They scored 600 in New Zealand 2 months ago. They scored 638 in Sri Lanka 4 years ago. They were 120/0. They collapsed and that's inexcusable for them now.

Yeah agree. Also 'I am Shakib thats the way I play' does not hold anymore. If he's so wreckless then he needs to bat at 7 or 8. No. 5 is a crucial position and we cant afford to play someone who will play like a hack regardless of the situation.

This is more important and correct than what BW said. The fact is Shakib is a senior player and still makes the same mistakes he was making 6 or 7 years ago. He has the talent but just doesn't seem to apply it or want to apply it. Got to give Mushy credit he has matured and is a good batsman now and hopefully he won't take the gloves again unless it is as a late replacement. Tamim comes into the Shakib category too, how often does he get set and throw it away which sparks trouble.

No doubt Bangladesh have come a long way, they need to stand up now and prove they can make the next step as the talent is there, not sure the brains are.

This match is still here for saving. Take early wickets, dry up the runs and bat doggedly.

It will pan out similar to the match against India.. they'll fall heartbreakingly short and get bowled out in the last session of day 5. 150+ run lead is too big to concede.

Which is why it is crucial they don't lose this. No more same old Bangladesh, front up and grind a result.

You'd hope so, but SL have Herath, Sandakan and Perera, and even non-Bangladesh teams would struggle to resist them for 130+ overs late on day 4 and day 5. You have to get your first innings runs in Asia.

The worst thing about Shakib is that he said that he wouldn't be Shakib anymore if he didn't play the game the way he plays which is by doing unbelievably stupid things when the situation demands some solidity. Total denouncement of responsibility.

Not being Shakib wouldn't exactly be a totally bad thing would it. Why is he acting like he is Adam Gilchrist?
