***Official*** Australia in Bangladesh 2017

[flibbertyjibber]

Only just getting to see a bit as had no internet when I got up early. Off to work at lunch so all a bit of a waste today. Is this one anything like last weeks pitch, doesn't look to ragging as much as it did there.

Cummins will be such a beast in Oz

In 5 tests this year, there has hardly been a batsman that has looked comfortable against him despite being played in conditions that don't suit him at all

Yeah he's asked serious questions of the batsmen despite the soft, low, slow pitches. When he has fast, bouncy roads to play with, watch out!

He'll get injured just in time so that he misses out on bouncy wickets

Then he'll get fit again in time to play in the slow and low

And that's how his career will go, and people in the future will wonder why anyone thought he was any good since his stats aren't that great

edit: I don't know why I'm so negative today

Bloody mondays

 

[ajdude]

thought he smashed that straight up but i don't know ****

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

What am I missing here? Have no idea what you're saying

 

[Spark]

i think we can agree here that the real loser of this session was tjb

 

[cnerd123]

Three lefties all LBW to Lyon

 

[cnerd123]

geez BD's entire top 5 is left-handers.

Maybe this is why they kept sending Shabbir up the order.

lyon actually isn't that good to LHers, so this would be an unpleasant shock

Standard babyface booking. He'll make his comeback soon.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Banglas know Lyon is Australia's weakest spinner, so they're deliberately getting out to him so Aus will keep him in the team for the next time they play BD.

It's ingenious really

 

[Burgey]

Nathan Lyon once again sustaining Australia's attack in the subcontinent.

 

[BeeGee]

Bloody good bowler is Lyon.

 

[Burgey]

If only we'd had him on the 2001 tour of India, we'd have won in a canter.

 

[TheJediBrah]

He would have taken the place of that hack, Shane something?, easily

 

[GoodAreasShane]

All class from Lyon, not a lot of turn to be had yet but he compensated by varying his pace and flight smartly.

 

[Burgey]

TJB tasting hard here.

Have to admit its a bit cryptic.

3 lbws already. Hate to be batting last here.

 

[Gob]

Still remember that time when the TJB firmly defended Nathen against Blocky

I can never admit that Lyon is good now. It's too far gone.

Wait so the pitch isn't that bad?
