26th Match - Australia v Bangladesh

[cnerd123]

Good start from Aus I reckon, but Mashrafe escaping for just 24 in his 5 overs so far is astonishing. He's bowled well but they haven't tried to take him on much. Just the six from Finch.

 

[trundler]

50 up in the first 10. No wickets down. Good start for Australia. Warner has looked scratchy, yeah and should've been caught.

 

[Starfighter]

No wickets down.

Sounds like a good set up for one of our customary collapses.

I mean there it is again, Finch clearing the front leg and just bunting it to cover. Just weird.

 

[cnerd123]

BD bowling well now but Aus have been up to the task. Put away all the bad balls. BD didn't take the one chance they go. They probs could have attacked Mortaza a bit more - 6 overs for 31 runs is a win in BD's books.

Really need Shakib and Mehidy to make inroads now. Rubel yet to bowl as well, let's see how he goes.

 

[trundler]

That was a gift. Mashrafe did well to cut off Warner's go to shot though. I think SA did that Vs Kane yesterday when they didn't let him dab down to third man. Builds up pressure.

 

[Starfighter]

Who's looking forward to Khawaja's embarrassing dismissal to Shakib or Mehedi?

These two really should be scoring faster than they are.

 

[cnerd123]

Playing Shakib well here too. BD just need to tighten up a bit more. Given away too many freebies.

reckon this scoring rate is fine. Start slow and go big at the end. That's the template most sides have been following.

 

[trundler]

Straight to point again. Rubel must be bashed.

It's more of a problem with Australia as we don't have the tools to really go big successfully late. Still I think we're going well so far.

 

[cnerd123]

Sloppy work in the field. Not the best cricket from BD so far. Decent start from Rubel. BD seem relaxed on the field, which is good. Just need to tighten up...

 

[Starfighter]

That is a big shot.

 

[Borges]

This is a very good start by Australia, 350+ o the cards. By now, it is clear that Warner going slow at the start is based on a team plan.

 

[trundler]

Warner starting to mirror how Finch played SL spinners. Awesome.

 

[Burgey]

Playing Shakib well here too. BD just need to tighten up a bit more. Given away too many freebies.

Four to cover then a swept six is precisely how he and all finger spinners should be played tbh

 

[trundler]

RR almost 6 now.

All the more reason to bat Starc after Carey imo, and Cummins no higher than ten.

 

[trundler]

50 off 55. Next 50 off 35.

He’s out of touch. It’s not a plan to play **** for ages
