Didn't say the same! Draw went from 1.7 to 2.3 back to 1.9 I think.

Sorry fats didn't understand you.
Often happens.
Think I'm screwed along with the draw here. Even 5 more overs potentially brings it back to life. Need Mushy back!

Was counting that. So 217 off 57. That's too easy, I fear.

draw should be 15's. So much time for NZ to score 217.
Against a decent attack on a track doing anything you'd think the draw perfectly possible with RRR over 3.5 in a test for over 50 overs but not this attack and this track. They won't even have to take many risks.

They may take at least a few overs to find enough subs too.

As much as i want it to end in a draw, it doesn't look like that.
It's possible but seriously unlikely.

new zealand make up there own rules

only way this ends draw is if new zealand lose early wickets
Probably needs wickets all the way through. It's possible the openers could start slowly then get out trying to pick up the pace a few overs in, which would be ideal but I don't see it.

The draw was under 4 a few minutes ago and 1.7 a few minutes before that! Test cricket, wow. I'm normally a huge believer in laying my draw green almost all off when the price gets really low but I didn't see this game having a result.
it very rarely a draw these days

Now Bangladesh's decision to declare really comes to bite them where it hurts. Declaring at 595/8 was never going to improve their chances of winning the game. They should have hit out and gone for as many runs as they could. Ironically had they had another 30 runs it would have given them a huge chance of drawing or winning this game but its those 30 runs that are going to leave them short today. Sad that a team scoring 595/8 dec is probably going to lose the test.
Thirty runs and 6 overs chalked off would be huge for the draw here, not worth much for the win. Was an odd decision not to hit out, certainly.

like Jucel said the other day regarding draws. Most are rain affected. If no rain, pretty much no draw.
True but this was rain affected too!

do you think they will go to 9 down, or shut up shop at some point?

Why would Kayes have batted again then?

he couldn't have not come out with a bad leg, would have looked even more suspicious
