Pretty interesting match between India and Bangladesh, very competitive effort from Bangladesh especially to have such a strong Indian batting line up dismissed under 250.

And Bangladesh were cruising until they lost a couple of wickets in a short space of time.

lol, India still ends up with a first innings lead.

Really hope India chokes second innings but they're cruising at the moment.

Gambhir five centuries in five matches. Amazing.

Four.
Ponting will likely overtake him. Both are greats of the game, no doubt.

Bloody oath, I mean if you were going to cheat wouldn't you make some remote effort to get away with it. Seriously I can only conclude he wants to sell memoirs or something it was that stupid.

Better still, his initial response to the accusation: "No I was just trying to smell it, how it is feeling."

Dear god, I don't know how he could have been trying to do anything except get caught. Seriously it almost reminds me of an episode of Boston Legal when a character i think shoots someone then tries to throw the court case so they can appeal to the supreme court who have federal jurisdiction.
