*Official* Bangladesh vs Australia Series

[luckyeddie]

normal service resumed, I see.

 

[Mr. P]

huzzah!

 

[Langeveldt]

Hmm I want to see some records being broken

 

[marc71178]

If Lehmann and Waugh get moving tomorrow, there's a record stand potentially.

 

[Tim]

I guess the big excitement tommorow will be whether Martin Love scores some runs because despite Bangladesh showing some resistence, i'd expect to see Australia bowl alot better in the 2nd innings.

 

[Mr. P]

i don't wanna see Love make runs. I say we promote Gilchrist IF Lehmann or Waugh get out, he does some heavy hitting and we declare at say...550. Or at tea.

Yup.

Gotta get that 'vs Bangladesh' average over 0

 

[Mr. P]

LOL-its so true!

 

[Mr. P]

Lehmann gone for 177. fantastic knock. Loves in-hes off the mark. They should have promoted Gilly!

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Steve Waugh with 32 Test hundreds now. Wow! What a career! No doubt he appreciates the opportunity to beat up on the Bangladeshis to enhance his stats at this stage in his career. A while back, his 50 average was in danger.

Aus 461/4
S Waugh 125 not out
M Love 37 not out

 

[Mr. P]

S waugh now first player to make 150 against all test nations. Bangla 1/33.

 

[Andre]

Great to see Marty Love make his first Test ton. I for one am glad to see him take his chance.

Well done

 

[RickyPonting14]

Bangladesh again getting some lucky edges all over the place.

Off Brett Lee the most.

The current score now is:

Bangladesh 1/69

Gillespie dropped a very easy one. Aussies should bowl them out tomorrow.

 

[Mr. P]

Hey, great name!

And yes Andre, it is good to see him make a century, but I have to say i don't think he should be in the side anyway. And look who he made the century against.

 

[Mr. P]

also, Javed Omar, Banglas 'experianced campaigner' has had a shocker of a series. However, Bashar and Sarker are playing well again. They do have SOME skill, do Bangladesh.

 

[Mr. P]

Hannan Sarker just made 50.

Hannan Sarker
50 97 balls 7 times 4

 

[Mr. P]

Sarker and Ashraful go in quick succession, Sarker for 55, Ashraful for 0. That duck completed a pair.

 

[RickyPonting14]

At stumps they are 4/106.

Good stuff late there by the aussies. 1/86 they wre but another shocking collapse sees them lose 3/4. In the 1st test they lost 3/0 and in there 1st innings of this match they lost 3/1.

Aussies will bowl them out tomorrow and win by more then an innings. Series 2-0.

 

[Mr. P]

My prediction-

Bangladesh all out 238

Alok Kapali 52. (fightback after shocking series)
Mashrafe Mortaza 38 of 10.

 

[Craig]

Not quite. Australia creamed Bangladesh, although Sarker, Mushad, Mortaza, Tapesh and Manjural Islam along with Sanwar Hossain I felt impressed and I think they did show they have a lot of potential, but they need more time and gain experience from having middle order collapeses and going to get hundreds.

I not convinced on Lehmann just yet, his three hundreds were aganst a joke West Indies bowling line-up and the Bangladeshi line up isnt world class, so I am not surprised that man of Lehmann's bowling would feast on weak bowling line-ups.
