I've been to the city of Chittagong (sensational shipbreaking yards about 10K up the road) and I wasn't aware that there was a venue worthy of staging a Test match within the metro area. I saw the national stadium in Dhaka and that was a goat track so the one in Chittagong must be like a BMX track at best.

Bangladesh finished with 333 and were enforced to follow-on by Ganguly, 207 behind.
In the 10th over, Bangladesh are speeding away at the pace of the Aussies and are at 3 for 54, still 153 runs needed to force India to bat again.

some highlights to take out of a one sided affair. good to see bangladesh make a score over 300 against a strong indian attack. mostly thanks to the brilliant innings by mohammad ashraful to make 158*, the highest score ever by a bangladeshan player.
they will lose by an innings and 80 odd runs, however this will go down as one of their greatest moments, which is kinda sad in a way :rolleyes:
Can see some highlights of the Bangladesh 2nd innings here: http://209.67.220.27/rajeev/index.htm
