***Official*** Australia in Bangladesh 2017

[Nate]

Nafees plz

Can't see Australia making runs on this.

Did the umpire just refer an LBW to the third umpire?


ah, it was a review. Good review.

 

[Gnske]

Definitive proof that with any size head you can be a cricketer greater than Richie Benaud. Warmest congratulations to Lyon for overtaking the (once) great man and taking his spot.

Aussie bowlers channeling SOK

Shafiul needs to do shami

 

[cnerd123]

Agar and Lyon have got some serious purchase from this surface, mixed in with good straighter ones. They've both bowled well in patches.

Can definitely see Mehedi, Taijul and Shakib doing lots of damage, but how often have we seen one set of bowlers get something out of the pitch that the opposing team's bowlers cannot? Plus you can't discount Steve Smith scoring a ton here.

Really, BD should have gotten another 50 runs here atleast. Too many soft dismissals. Again, just so typical. Mental skills failing them.

250 doesn't seem too bad a first innings score tbh.

 

[Gnske]

It makes me sad I'm going to miss all five minutes of Khawaja's masterclass on the subcontinental marathon innings tomorrow.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Hit or get out

 

[cnerd123]

Shafiul needs to do shami

good call

 

[Nate]

That was a ***y leave.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Fizz looks like he put on some weight

 

[cnerd123]

Superb leave there from Fizzy

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Shafiul > Shami official

 

[Nate]

This is exactly how you should bat against Aghastly.

I just hope we pass the follow on.

How many wickets down at the close of play, gentlemen?

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Could be a tricky little session to bat out tonight. 2 or 3 wickets will really cap off the day.

 

[Gnske]

Losing three (3) wickets to Ashton Agar?

Bangladeshi cricket is dead.
