All too predictable though. You could tell from the moment Hogg came on and started turning them a mile that Bangladesh were going to struggle. They've got a fair few talented players, but they tend to panic a bit when things get tough for them, and Hogg and Symonds bowled well enough to let them commit suicide.Scaly piscine said:
Well they beat Australia the other day chasing 253 or whatever. That collapse was so pathetic tho, absolute waste - they could have really put Australia through it again.FaaipDeOiad said:

Vaughan kept losing tosses when he toured Asia, can't remember exactly how many he lost though...crickmate said:
Yeah, like I said, they have real talent, but go to pieces on occasion. They looked good once the pitch calmed down a bit and Ashraful got on top of the seamers, but once Hogg and Symonds came on and the pitch was turning, it was only a matter of time.Scaly piscine said:
i've never actually claimed that hes a poor bowler in ODIs. he's just always been a bit wayward. we'll see how he goes for the rest of the series.zinzan12 said:
Today didn't flatter him - a couple of top-edged sixes by Ashraful could easily have been a wicket, but he was a shadow of the player he looked against England. Possibly a reaction to the shoulder injury?tooextracool said:
To be fair, Symonds isn't really that bad on turners, just like his medium pacers aren't that bad on slow wickets. It's just that he has no tricks when the pitch isn't helping him. He bowled pretty well on turning pitches in Sri Lanka last year, for example, which along with the fact that he was batting well is why he got called up to the test squad, however dumb that call-up may have been.tooextracool said:
