Starts on a Friday, it's also a waste of time looking at forecasts 6+ days ahead in this country.superkingdave said:

Very nice to see Bangladesh finally display a little bit of spine.

Oh whatever. They both play so crap I don`t really care. Give it to Mashud I say. He seems to be the only one with a decent technique.Neil Pickup said:
Bloody Sarkar. He was legendary in Australia, but then decided he`d turn crap. Very dissapointed with Mashrafe`s batting. He can bat a bit...

Gareth Batty - congratulations, TFC in a Test Match, doesn't happen very often.
TFC, by the way, stands for "Thanks For Coming" - frequently received in the standard of game I usually play in, and awarded to someone who neither bats or bowls in a game. Luckily for me, I'm an opening bat, so I'm one of few people in my team who's never got it.

Suggest England auction off the number eight position for the next Test.

I saw absolutely no evidence to suggest Mashrafe was anything more than one of the worst batsmen ever to play Test cricket.Nnanden said:
The footwork every shot consisted entirely of two steps away to leg and a swish, and in all honesty he was lucky to last a combined total of four balls. Next to him, Chris Martin looked like Bradman. Shahadat and especially Anwar showed massively more determination and Mortaza should be 11 at Chester-le-Street.
How he made 139 in the Bangladeshi league I will never know.

You don't know much about Australian crowds, then, or they've got decidedly more one-eyed in ten years.Langeveldt said:
On 2nd January 1995, England were two down in the series after two games and had looked pretty dismal scratching their way to 198-7 on the first day of the Third Test. As Darren Gough passed Mark Nicholas (for it was he) in the Members enclosure on his way out, he said "Fasten your seat belts." A useful instruction in view of what followed. Gus Fraser dabbed and nurdled while Gough wielded the long handle. After they'd put on 56, Gus was out and Devon Malcolm came out to join the fun. McDermott, Fleming and Warne were just pasted all round the ground, and the crowd started cheering. When the big scoreboard flashed up that on reaching 19, Malcolm had achieved his career highest Test score, the ground erupted. Gough was cheered to the echo on reaching his fifty, and as he walked back a few minutes later out for 51, the ground rose to him. And I thought it was pretty damn remarkable for an Australian crowd to give a standing ovation for a visiting player's fifty, let alone a Pom's.
The feeling in the SCG that morning was very similar to the feeling in the ground today.
The home crowd were very well aware that the visitors were hopeless and had been deeply disappointing to watch, and at last they saw one of the losers showing some spirit, some fight and some enterprise. After days and days (in 94-95) or hours and hours (here) of non-contest and basically rubbish cricket, we were seeing the sort of cricket we'd have hoped to see from the outset rather than as an interlude in the final act.
You'd have to have no feeling for the sport at all not to have cheered Khaled Mashud this morning. Fortunately, those who had turned up were generous-spirited.
Cheers,
Mike

I think it also spoke for the high regard in which Aussies hold Gough.

all very nicely written except Gus was last man out, Gough being out after the partnership of 58 for 51 which makes it all the more astonishing!

It's bloody irritating when you check your scorecard database to make sure you get the details right and it tells you lies. I'd thought that Gus had hung around longer too, but I shall now have to send an erratum to TAStats.superkingdave said:
