26th Match - Australia v Bangladesh

[trundler]

It's so ****ing odd how Finch was terrible for a loooooong time before the Pakistan series this year. Many were calling him a specialist captain lmfao.

Welcome to Trent Bridge Mehidy

 

[cnerd123]

Poor over from Mehidy. Don't think the plan was to feed Finch length in the arc or in the pads.

 

[trundler]

100 up in 99 balls. Called it.

 

[Burgey]

That slingy action from Rubel should come on nicely on a slowish deck but even he seems to be holding up.

 

[trundler]

It's been difficult to hit pacers through the line. Once Warner is completely in it'll be carnage.

 

[cnerd123]

Rubel actually bowling well.

Not the best first hour from BD. Not the worst, but they're definitely behind the game and need to find a way back in.

 

[trundler]

Warner did well in the IPL. Shouldn't do badly on a slow-ish pancake.

 

[Burgey]

I’ve liked the approach to the Deshi spinners so far. Small boundaries help

 

[Starfighter]

Cripes, he's actually turned one on this pitch.

You mean how finger spinners deserve to be treated? We all have.

Not a lot of turn so they can just slog em to the shorter boundaries and throw them off their lines.

 

[trundler]

50 off 10 and then 110 after 20 is all batting teams have needed so far. Should be fine if no wickets fall soon. Will hope these 2 go big though.

 

[Burgey]

Some decent clouds rolling in over the back there.

 

[Meridio]

Graeme Swann on TMS doing my head in atm. Meant to be saving me from the soul-crushing reality of my working life but he's utterly ruining it ffs.

Aus in for a mammoth total here

 

[cnerd123]

Much better over from Mehidy

Not a pitch with any margin of error for the bowlers, and these two are ruthless on anything loose. Wonder what the plan is here. Just bowl dry and hope for the best? Set batsmen up for the sucker ball? Or will they be targeting a specific line/length trying to induce a specific type of mistake.

 

[cnerd123]

Rubel is leaning heavily into bowling short

Yea Aus are well set for a big score. I'm hoping for a collapse in the back end of the innings, and for BD to pull off yet another ridiculous run-chase. Much harder to do that vs Aus than vs WI tho.

 

[Burgey]

Ugly mix up in the field there. Not much justice for Rubel, who’s been excellent so far
