Bangladesh v West Indies, 1st Test, Chittagong, 21-25 October, 2011

Started!

Shariar Nafees retired hurt with a bloodied nose courtesy of a Fidel Edwards bouncer.

Elias Sunny looks to be a very bright prospect.






Sorry. I didn't mean to write that.

WI clawing it back. Looked like they were getting dicked in the sh!tter, but it's now 173/3.

Bangers making a reasonable fist of it with 10 overs in the day to go. 3-229 and an injured warrior in the sheds.

255/4 isn't the worst score. WI's bowling is pretty decent, so even on a deady they are some threat. Well done to Bangla.

History suggests the Bangers will crumble in a heap tomorrow morning and be bowled out for under 300.

If Nafees sh!ts his bits (which he may well do) they're effectively 5 down, so you could be right.

Start delayed due to a wet outfield.

Play called off for the day. It rained overnight but there has been none today.

What a shame.

Shows the value of a good drainage system. Apparently both yesterday and today it had stopped raining by 8am, but Chittagong's woeful drainage has meant no play at all on both days despite good weather during playing hours.

Like they could afford it. It's a multi-million pound venture. You nutter.

Anyone noticed that Smerk's out that way and suddenly it's all rain?

They don't even have super-soppers. It's basically 20 shoeless men with a sponge and a bucket.

They don't even have a rope.

Once vilks' much-talked about Global Warming kicks in, the Bangers are farked. Dhaka and Chittagong will be under water. So this is a taste of things to come.
