The Bangladeshis might be forgiven for thinking they are starring in an porn movie called Chitty Chitty Gang Bang post Day2 of the 2nd Test.

For the first time ever in the history of Test cricket have the top four batsman of a side scored hundreds in the same innings. It was all a bit much if you ask me, Jaffer cemented his place in the side post his last test pair, a wicket-keeper who is now a batsman scored his first test hundred while our most capped player got his 37th and in the midst of all this the man Ugly loves to hate brought up his 24th.

After all this Zaheer got his act together and lopped the head of the Bangladeshi batting leaving them half gone for 50 or so. Looks like this one might finish on Day 3 unless the Bongs pick themselves up and play a bit like they played in the World Cup.

Oh, while I think Sachin should have retired post the World Cup, I see that he as added 2 more test hundreds to his kitty in a week. How much more can he go on? I shudder to think he’ll want to go to 40. (Not in test hundreds but in age). Some said this was perhaps his most laborious and unattractive hundred ever, all I can do is doff my hat in admiration. He’s no spring chicken but if could bat his way to 129 without having to crumble with cramps like the much younger Kartik and Jaffer, his fitness levels have to be way up high. Good on yer, old man - it’s nice when you show the young bucks a thing or two.

There’s one more test left. One more chance for Sachin to come out there and bat with the abandon of the 21 year old blaster he once was. I watched him pummel Mike Whitney and Craig McDermott on a blinder of a wicket at the WACA many moons ago - will we see one more or is that asking for too much?
