Sorry mate, I don't want to point fingers or say who started it. Obviously, there have been words said in both parties. I don't see the point in pointing out Warne.
You may be right. I have only heard Warne so I wouldnt know.

If Murali said disparaging things of Warne, thats in bad taste too. No question about it.

Its just wrong no matter who started it. These guys are far too big to have to stoop to this. They dont need the 'crutches' of other peoples' negatives to support there own unquestioned greatness.

I've seen Mortaza clocked, and there's no way he can bowl in the low 140s. I like Mortaza and he's a decent bowler, but he's not even McGrath pace, let alone Clark.
When Mortaza first started he was bowling high 130s, this was back during the 2003 WC. His slowed down a lot since then, due to injuries, as well as experience on sub-contintent pitches and the fact that don't always need to bowl flat out to take wickets, just bowl smart.

Patrick shut-down, Australia in absolute disarray. Gilchrist the last recognised batsman at the crease, though Warne and Lee can give it a go. The tail will really need to way if Australia don`t want to follow-on. :D

For me, the Aussies are playing to defensive. They have to take the bowlers on. I don't see a long stance here for the Aussies, so take em because the wicket is getting worse and worse to bat on.

Michael Clarke nooooooooooooooooo, good god this has been a nightmare, good god i know its been a long season blah, blah, blah, but what the hell is going on here. 79/5, looking like you are going to follow on to the worst team in the world.

Trust me TT, I`m not really enjoying this. I can either whinge and cry, or acknowledge that we`re being out-played, yes, by Bangladesh.

TBF they are playing better then Sri Lanka without Murali, Murali was the only difference between us and them.

Just a random prediction, but I think Lee might top score for Aussie. Will have to wait and see, though. This is all quite unbelievable. I'm at work so I can't check betting sites... what are the odds being given on a Bangladesh victory right now?

TT Boy: Zimbabwe are not currently a test playing nation, as far as I know.

FTW, Emanul`s ball was as good as you can bowl.

And yes, without a doubt, Australia should be batting more positively. Quite a few bad deliveries haven`t even been transferred to singles.

Playing only six batsmen is working great here, some brilliant selections from the Aussies.
Well if they played seven, MacGill would have been left out... and he took 8'fa in the first innings. I really dont think Jaques or Symonds would have scored that many - certainly not enough to compensate for eight wickets..
