Did you forget how Bangladesh recovered from 26/6 in Pakistan?
This time they were up against a quality and experienced bowling lineup.
Both Ravi did the same thing for India. The main thing is you cannot repeat the same thing every day. Yes, they took complete control of the first innings even though they lost six wickets. A hundred and ninety-nine partnership was awesome from this duo. But can anyone guarantee that Ashwin and Jadeja will be able to do the same thing in the 2nd innings? I don't think so.
In the past, Ash-Jaddu and the Indian lower order already played these sorts of innings so many times and bailed out a team from the ditches.
We must remember that Jaddu-Ash are 7-8 number batters and have 10 tons and 35 half-centuries under their belt. It would be hard to believe but 90% of their runs came when the top order saw a collapse.
