Captain Patrick cries tears of blood as the impossible becomes possible

A magnificent Bangladesh, who were behind for almost the entire match, came through to take an incredible victory against Australia. Australia, who's batting line-up has been much criticised of late, fired and fired well. Neil Pickup was sensational on debut, making 75. Greg Thomas then went on with things before cruely being dismissed four runs off a maiden century. When Mat Mitchell and Kyle Wright finished off the innings, no-one thought the target of 291 could possibly be reached, until captain Nathan Patrick spoke the words -

Code:
[B]Nath says:[/B]
I daresay even with McDonald in the team, the total is safe
[B]Hunterbhai says:[/B]
drop McDonald
haha
[B]nick says:[/B]
HA Marks
imo
[B]Neil says:[/B]
big quote that Nathaniel
Even as Bangladesh slipped to 207/6, nothing can change the outcome of a cricket game when someone utters those words. And so it was that Tushar Imran and Mohammed Rafique put on an 87-run partnership off just 65 balls.

Australia now must look towards The Ashes Test Series against England, while Bangladesh live on to dream even bigger.

For those of you unaware of the significance of the above post, Nathan is responsible for the immortal, "even with Lewis in the team, this total is safe", halfway through a certain ODI in Johannesburg a few years ago.

Great start to my international career. Would like to bat higher, but will take anything I can get at the moment. Shame we didn't do too well in the tournament. Here's hoping the test segment can be a little better.

Does someone want to do an 'out of 10' score for the players?

In fact, anyone feel free to post whatever, media articles, poems, etc.

BEFORE The Ashes get underway, there's actually that Three Match ODI Series. Squad to be announced very soon...

It must be said also, that people who have been active in the thread have definately outpeformed those who haven't on the whole, for a variety of reasons. :)
