Why the **** did we pick Shaiful

Nasir with the new ball we're gonna lose this

 

[ajdude]

warner batting in a baggy is off-set by warner batting in those gross compression sleeves. just wear a longy ffs

 

[wpdavid]

It's so bad

Here's their description of all six balls in the most recent over

Nasir Hossain to Renshaw, no run,


Thanks chaps, really tells me loads.

 

[cnerd123]

didn't nasir hossain used to bowl mediums?

Bowls both. He's basically the Bangladeshi Andrew Symonds

To be fair, they have now updated those balls with comments...the commentary runs at a lag compared to score

A raging alcoholic

 

[vic_orthdox]

Warner doesn't need to anchor a chase. He just has to provide a flying start and knock of a chunk of the runs in no time

Urgh bad feeling about this. BD doesn't do comprehensive wins. Everytime they're in position to assert their dominance they throw it away -_-

Yes he does - top three need to break the back of it here, Australia (or non-subcontinent teams in general) lose too many quick wickets to spin on wickets like this. Openers are crucial.

just needed to also bowl legspin to be Bangladeshi Sachin Tendulkar

Whoosh this pitch has some sawse for the spinners. Warner did well there tbf.

 

[Burgey]

Swann was a much better bowler than Lyon.

Yes as conclusively proven when they bowled off in he 2013/14 Ashes.

Yes as conclusively proven when they bowled off in he 2013/14 Ashes.

Swann has a better bowling average (by miles in many cases) against SA, Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka and NZ.

Lyon wins country to country head to head then Bangladesh + Windies

 

[MW1304]

Nah he's right. Stuart Broad is also a better batsman than Michael Clarke, as proven by their bat-off in the 2015 Ashes.

 

[DanJamson]

Yes as conclusively proven when they bowled off in he 2013/14 Ashes.

Ahh yes... the one where Swann was injured and retired half way through.

By that reckoning... Collingwood was a better bowler than Mitch Johnson as conclusively proven when they bowled off in the 2010/11 Ashes.

 

[91Jmay]

Tough chance but takeable. Come on BD do not throw this game away.

Was Swann remotely fit during the 2013/14 Ashes? And that's before you factor the difference between coming on after the top order have been decimated by Johnson & Harris and what Swann was facing.

The 2013 series in England probably provides a better comparison. Or 2010/11 if Lyon played then.

 

[Gnske]

Smells like collapsing time to me

 

[MW1304]

/Ashes

Get in Mehedi.

 

[91Jmay]

Needed that desperately, Warner runs feel like bonus ones for Aus though.

 

[Burgey]

Sorry Khawaja. Papers marked. That's a ****ing disgrace.

 

[Gnske]

At least Usman contributed what was expected.

Pick him again I say
