Good idea! I will take the opportunity to comment on the WI vs BAN match. What an impressive 1st innings from WI. 450 runs and even without running out batters. Why did they stop? Is 450 the maximum of runs in a test match?

They have declared their innings. In test Cricket if the batting team thinks they have scored enough runs to ball out the opposition, they declare their innings without utilising all their batters.
However, in this match as I can see WI declared because they want Bangladesh batsmen to play in the evening time and put them under pressure by picking up one or two wickets overnight. Also, it wouldn't be very wise to send the last batsmen (who are always bowlers) to pas time.

Again, as we talked earlier, a lot of tactics here. Interesting! Also, seeing this result, I understand now why you said earlier that would like to see a bigger lead from India vs Australia.

Yes, Cricket is definitely a game full of tactics. Ha e you ever seen a 'stealing of a run' by merely pushing the ball with lose hands.

No idea what you are talking about! By the way, BAN has lost 2 wickets already.

This will give you an idea.
As I said the declaration was a tactical move. Now Bangladesh won't sleep the whole night and in the morning they'll be bundled out cheaply
