***Official*** Australia in Bangladesh 2017

[91Jmay]

Play some shots FFS.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Mehidy playing out maidens in this situation is pointless

 

[OverratedSanity]

How surprising. Disappointing from Bangladesh, but a decent series from them nonetheless.

 

[quincywagstaff]

Pointless batting from Bangladesh post-Tea. Can't see Oz being troubled at all in this chase.

Jason was dreadful there, play some shots lad.

FIzzy is Chris Martin esq.

Love how the commentators are pretending Bangladesh have a chance. No-one defends under 100, it's just a question of how many wickets Australia lose before reaching the target.

Still a good series for BD, they've started to very much compete and win games regularly at home. That's a positive sign.

I think not so tbh. Plenty to ponder starting from selection issue, performance etc etc. BD collapsed in 1st test in 2nd Innings and Australia nearly chased it. Absolute dire performance in this test. On a flat pitch, BD fell well short esp batting on 1st day. No excuse for that then the collapse again in 2nd Innings.

Gotta love a cricketer who has more wickets than runs.

What a year Lyon has had so far. And in conditions here he's been pasted in the last. Glad SOK got a couple of piles. Not easy coming into a tst match completely cold.

28 times in the history of test cricket teams have been all-out for less than 86 in the 4th innings.

It looks like they will get a 1-1 vs Aus whic is a very good result. Australia is an ever improving team in sub cont they ran India close at home who are red hot at the moment having annihilated Nz England and SL, recently Aus ha been the only ones to challenge them at home.

BD can e very proud of their work..

How many times were they chasing less than 100?

 

[morgieb]

How many times were they chasing less than 100?

Lowest target defended is 85. Next lowest 99.

Generally you need at least 120 to make things wobbly and 150+ to have a genuine shot.

 

[Gnske]

Is there a sadder sight in cricket than a cheat getting his just desserts?

 

[TheJediBrah]

Aussies are just gonna try and get there as fast possible so they don't get bowled out

<100 has only been successfully defended twice
