Adam Gilchrist, swashbuckling batsman on any other day, settled down to the job at hand yesterday and saved Australia from having to follow on in their Test against Bangladesh. Gilly's 144 not only saved face for Australia but made the match an interesting event ... Bangladesh has to score the runs - but then Australia has to catch them up on a turning wicket. Cric-info had this to say about the future of the match:
'This match is far from over, however. This pitch will deteriorate and a target of 350 will test any side, not least one that was dismantled by a 35-year old spinner in his first appearance against them. Australia may have enjoyed their best day of this enthralling Test match, but Bangladesh still have plenty to say.'
