***Official*** Australia in Bangladesh 2017

[SillyCowCorner1]

Warner has made it look all too easy today

You jinxed him

 

[Burgey]

omg why would he review that?

 

[Gnske]

Must have thought he was outside the line, otherwise not the greatest review.

 

[Burgey]

That's one for the horrible review hall of fame. Hitting middle half way up.

Dumb end to a great knock.

Can Shakib win this for BD?

 

[Nate]

Its such a simple solution too - just have the match streamed online somewhere behind a paywall. The channels can stream it on their site, or the cricket board can host the stream. Eitherway, there is money to be made by simply giving people around the world a chance to tune it.

But nope. And if people can't watch the action, why are they going to keep following the sport.

Same goes with footage of old games. Why hide it from the world? Make it accessible!

It's a bit trickier than that, but I get what you mean. The wider appetite is there.

 

[Burgey]

Can Shakib win this for BD?

TBH I don't think he's bowled that well so far, but he's got a new batsman to work over now.

If Australia do win this, a bit like the Bang/Oz 2006 Test which Australia scrambled to victory, while the 4th innings chase gets all the kudos the late order runs Oz got in the 1st innings were pivotal imo. Made an almost impossible situation become difficult but manageable.

 

[Daemon]

Well played Warner.

Should've binned him for this test. Horses for courses etc

Hmm, if anything Adam Gilchrist's 1st innings knock gets more plaudits than Ricky Ponting's 2nd innings ton from what I've seen.

Hopefully this series follows the 2006 one very closely . . .

As someone used to the Australian rhythm of cricket coverage where you have one 30 second ad between overs, I find these multiple ads in the coverage I have on in the background make me occasionally wonder whether a wicket has fallen.

 

[cnerd123]

less than 100 to win

:/

I remember as a kid coming back to the TV and getting worried when there was more than 1 add at a time, wondering if it was a wicket or just the drinks break

Handscomb using his hands to hit boundaries rather than to comb

I still get worried with ad breaks on switching on the TV, all the time.

Haha yeah, used to do that all the time too.

 

[quincywagstaff]

Only 3 maidens in the past 35 overs on a pitch and match situation like this is a tribute to how Australia have batted with sensible aggression and also how Bangladesh’s spinners have been disappointingly inaccurate.

 

[cnerd123]

omg Shakib you beautiful, beautiful man

 

[Burgey]

ooh nice catch too. Big wicket. Bangers jag one more in the next 20 odd runs they're heavy favourites.

 

[Daemon]

Shakib is basically Bangladesh
