26th Match - Australia v Bangladesh

[Spark]

Don't get why people are complaining about the scoring rate. They're about to hit 200 with more than 15 overs left and 9 wickets in hand, that's really about as good as you can ask for.

We want 450!

 

[trundler]

Both 50s off 55 balls for Warner. Weird how we've thought he's slowly. Was scratch early on but caught up very well.

 

[Burgey]

100 off 110 and everyone asking what’s wrong with him. Mind you, he was pretty slow early. Downside is large if he chips one to cover on 28(45).

Shakib being milked artfully here.

WTF is khawaja doing here

Turning over the strike, building a partnership. You know, playing cricket.

Man, Bangladesh's ground fielding has been so sloppy and low-intensity

i guess people expect warner to go at a S/R of 110

Yeah it’s been terrible given what’s at stake. Dropped Warner early at backward point too. Went quickly but very catchable low right.

 

[vcs]

Yawn, another formulaic Aussie win in store here I guess. Bat first, pile up 330 or thereabouts. Bangladesh will probably look like having a sniff for a brief period before Starc and/or Cummins come back and snuff out their hopes around the 25th over.

 

[stephen]

Need to up the strike rate now.

 

[cnerd123]

And they've been sloppy with the ball as well - missing their lines a lot

Not a good look IMO. They're almost too relaxed, too confident in their ability to chase 320-330 or something. They're lacking the hunger and intensity that has made them a good ODI fielding unit for a while

I guess the WC wears on you, and with 2 good wins under their belt they're probably not as desperate. It's always going to be a problem with BD, they're just satisfied with competing, seem to lack to ambition and belief that they can actually be champions.

 

[trundler]

Classic Warner. Too short for that pace. Like I've been saying, 110 off the first 20 is all you need. Then the likes of Warner and Sharma can do this.

 

[Spark]

It genuinely feels like they aren't bothering to chase the ball properly half the time

 

[slippy888]

Rubel Hossain bowling action is menacing

Rubel Hossain bowling action is menacing

For a bloke who averages 70 in tests he's not that bad a bowler

 

[trundler]

Good from Rubel.

Australia have often set themselves up beautifully for the last 10 but left runs on the board with bad finishing

 

[Athlai]

That was a pretty hilarious ball to the knackers

 

[slippy888]

Need a 15 run over to gain some momentum

 

[Borges]

Woo! just fourteen overs left and nine wickets in hand; time to go berserk.

Fitting that it's Clarke on commentary for it
