Oh, this is still going ahead?

 

[Jayzamann]

More ODIs!

 

[Spark]

Do we have any cricket between this tour and the SL tour? Could get kind of boring if not.

 

[Jayzamann]

Don't think so, South Africa is after Sri Lanka iirc.

 

[GotSpin]

So excited for this series. Yay ODIs

 

[Craig]

The highlight of my year ITBT. I hope Bangladesh win, so at least I can feel better about a certain ODI series in Bangladesh last year

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Well this is well organised, i guess the one plus is that you were in seperate groups in the world cup and haven't played each other recently. Seems a bizarre tour to have though after such a long time on the go for Australia.

 

[Jono]

At least Australia are already there, so it won't be so bad.

Ferguson and Hastings can actually play cricket!

These ODI's are a joke. Don't know why they've cancelled the tests but what's the point of playing more ODI's?

[Midwinter]

It won't do Bangladesh any harm.

 

[SeamUp]

I love ODI cricket but people keep questioning it and series like these are why it keeps getting questioned.

Bascially each of the 3 games here are what I call an AMODI and no disrespect to India but they love these as well.

ANOTHER MEANINGLESS ONE DAY INTERNATIONAL!

i'm pretty happy there arn't any tests since i dearly don't want Aus to become the first top side to lose to bangers tbh.

 

[Noble One]

Am I the only one looking forward to this series?

I couldn't care less that Ponting and the guys have been playing for months. What do I gain as a cricketing fan if this series isn't played? Not much. I look forward to competing against Bangladesh in what will be a testing series for Australia.

Only two negatives I can see is that Australia may lose (and I wouldn't mind as Bangladesh are an easy team to support) and the Australian players might be overcooked prior to the IPL (oh noes!).

Australia usually take a long break after World Cups, don't they?

 

[outbreak]

I am looking forward to this series, what has annoyed me is i was looking forward to some tests being played but they changed the schedule to only ODI's (originally herd it was so they miss less IPL time). That's bull**** to me. I like Bangladesh and have been keen to see the Aussies play them again now (they could actually beat Australia this time i think).

 

[Ausage]

Could we see Ponting booted from the captaincy for this series?

Ricky Ponting To Lose Captaincy Of Australian Cricket Team?

 

[vcs]

He'll probably be rested anyway. Can see them playing virtually a 2nd string team.

 

[outbreak]

Wasn't it reported last year he would give up ODI's after the world cup and focus on prolonging his test career?
