***Official*** Australia in Bangladesh 2017

So Burgey what do you think of that hack Shakib now?

Will be along the lines of Moeen turned round and shaved

 

[Aritro]

Well it's rained surprisingly little for monsoon, but seeing Australia's cricketers braying and posturing like a bunch of gobshites suggests nature's most immutable laws aren't entirely askew.

Social's salt here is absolutely delicious.

don't think he's salty, he just genuinely doesn't rate certain styles of cricket. Which is even more bizarre, tbh.

 

[social]

Ha ha

Done here

 

[Gnske]

What excellent bait

 

[fredfertang]

this pitch huh

looks much the same colour as the one at Headingley tbf

 

[weldone]

Australia scored 217 without any contribution from Smith. Smith is not going to fail twice in two gigs.

There's a difference between 2nd innings and 4th innings

 

[Burgey]

So Burgey what do you think of that hack Shakib now?

I'm not sold. He's a better bat than bowler. But I don't rate finger spinners as a rule.

 

[cnerd123]

the trick for these two now is to not go too deep inside their shell.

They still need to score runs. Find the gaps. Hit the bad balls.

Simply occupying the crease and going nowhere just lets the bowlers settle into a rhythm, and inevitably you're going to get a ball with your name on it.

Hope these two don't fall into that trap.

 

[Burgey]

Has had a fine match though. Would be a good second spinner behind Lyon.

 

[cnerd123]

that confident an appeal and no review?

cheating aussies

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Defensive stuff from australia too early

 

[cnerd123]

Aussies taking appealing cues from Jadeja, clearly.

Don't you rate Lyon as some WPHOFOSERKLGHLERU or something crap like that?

 

[Howe_zat]

Why bowl Maxwell ahead of Agar?

Thought the point of Agar would be to have a left arm/right arm combo with Lyon

It's their ancestry

Trouble is the WPNCOS actually plays in the same team as the worlds premier all rounder and his lot are playing them in this game but he will never admit it.

son, have you ever heard of intent?

He's better than Vettori and Vettori was alright

Think they're following the 'right arm offspin to lefties and left arm fingerspin to righties' rule
