***Official*** Australia in Bangladesh 2017

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

Well if Khawaja gets in he won't last long given how he can't play spin. You just got to hope Smith isn't one of them to fall.

Losing three (3) wickets to Ashton Agar?

Bangladeshi cricket is dead.

Was it ever alive?

 

[Gob]

This game looks sickeningly slimier to the Galle test last year

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Fizz and Miraz should open the bowling

Would imagine so, Fizz might only get a couple if he gets it wrong and Shakib can come on.

Gonna be an interesting mini-session, needless to say.

You'd take 260 bowling first but it's not an uncompetitive score. Sets up the game well.

0/86 at stumps

Sarkar won't ever be in an 86 run opening partnership don't be silly.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Just get the spinners on immediately. Otherwise you just risk Warner getting off to a flier to filth like that.

I dunno I'm not watching it. I'm just grateful we've made six against the greatest attack since Boutl and Southee.

Bizarre decision. Opening with a spinner worked so well against England it just seemed the logical thing to do here but then not to open with the much better pace bowler seems pointless.

 

[Burgey]

Errrgh spinners opening the bowling is the worst thing in cricket bar none. Horrendous, Stone Age cricket.

Foxtel is down...whatever could i do..?

If it their strong suit and the pitch is doing little for the medium pace bowlers then it makes sense. Good test for the openers, I enjoyed watching our tests against them last year. Different and interesting tests to what you normally see.

 

[morgieb]

Pretty dire that you scream for the appeal yet don't review. Granted we do it a bit too.
