***Official*** Australia in Bangladesh 2017

[Hennybogan]

i can't tell if this post is serious

I bet he'd love to have SOK instead of Hazelwood for this series. Aussie selectors are plain brain dead or a more eloquent word .. obtuse.

Jeez that's some dark clouds building up

ffs Shabbir

Pat Cummins is just outrageously good, he is hitting splices and hurrying batsmen on a very very slow pitch.

 

[cnerd123]

Shabbir stop hitting the ball in the air you're freaking me out

Kid has wheels, that's for sure.

 

[cnerd123]

this is a great test


slowly pulling away into the lead now, despite some great bowling from Lyon and Cummins. However, you can't discount the possibility of a Smith Special in the 4th inning. Plus Aus just have so much quality and bat so deep

 

[91Jmay]

Forgot Bangladesh have another recognised bat to come in next, I don't know why but I always like the idea psychologically you force them to score highest innings of match when chasing. Daunting prospect so that would be the 262 as first target.

Are they calling Agar 'Larry' because he looks like a left-handed Garry?

Terrible, even by your standards.

Speaking of terrible. Matthew Wade, ladies and gentlemen.

It's because he looks like Larry Corowa.

tbf I was referring to Cummins and Agar with the bat.

 

[cnerd123]

Smith did well to get a hand on that

 

[Burgey]

Man, imagine how many more wickets Lyon would have if he had a better keeper and more reliable catchers around the bat. He's the Wasim Akram of off spinners. Would have rewritten the record books. Wade alone has cost him 84 stumpings and dropped catches.

 

[Moonsorrow999]

Is there anyone pushing the door on Wade? I don't get so much info because I don't live in Aus, but are there any genuine contenders for his place? That isn't me sticking up for him, I think he's tripe.

 

[Burgey]

Missing. Mind you, can't blamce them for reviewing Dar this match. Needs to shave the beard and go back to being excellent again.

 

[91Jmay]

Jason: "30 byes given away by Wade so far. Could that be the difference?"

7% of Bangladesh runs thus far. I'm sure not all are his fault but that is a pretty staggering amount.

Oh my! Are those series points from so long ago still propping Australia up in the rankings. How is this going to hurt them if they don't get their **** together.

The key to being number one in the rankings is to have a **** load of series at home against similarly ranked teams or those above you, because aside from the occasional SA effort, no one wins away any more.
