Australia in Bangladesh

[Lightning McQueen]

Is The Shane the best ODI player in the world ?

[brod]

I just wish he did that batting first. Would've been awesome to see what he could've done.
Even tho it was Bangladesh still a great knock

Still noone else has done it

[Johno6]

I'm not sayin it was a bad thing mate. I know everyone else is saying about the opponent
All u can do is go out and play the team ur organized to play.
It's very impressive imo

[Phantom Gossiper]

Its funny that when Clarky get a hundred 'its only against Bangladesh' and then when Watto bullies them 'its the best thing since sliced bread and people don’t care about the opposition.....

Your spot on there, i guess it's more about how much people are in awe of such a dominant innings, i mean 96 balls for 185 is just insane!

Question is...

Will they be heralding T20 as the cause for such a brutal display? Will this only serve to get more people on the mickey mouse bandwagon?

Thing is, "they" would be right. Scoring rates are on the way up and the old teeball has a lot to do with it.

another slog fest on fox sports

Aus Currently 0/44 from 4 overs
Ponting and watson opening because haddin rested. hopefully Ferguson gets a shot at three.
also Jamie Siddons has been sacked by the Bangaladesh cricket board

[Gozu]

I thought Trevor Chappell was their coach or was he the one before Siddons?

[Brodlach]

Australia 1/120 after 13 overs

Watson out for 72 off 40 balls

Siddons took over from Dav Whatmore in 2007

Brod/Spelly:

Is this the first time Ponting has opened in an ODI?

And if it is, would that be the longest wait to open the innings in a career?

No, it is the third time, but his lowest score

87* in Zimbabwe 1999
59 in India 2009
47 in Bangladesh 2011

bad captaincy- why keep the medium pacers on to be smashed by johnson and huss?

Options??

Mahmudulah 39 off 8 (4.87RPO)
Kapali 8 off 2 (4 RPO)

are the only two going at less than 5.5, the two openers 9.42 and 8.88

7/335 off 48

hussey 100* off 86

commentators saying they have 5 spinners in their midst and when i saw them they tied us right down

[stampy]

7/350 one over to go

[stampy]

if you want to back us we are 1.004 on bet365, what sort of miniscule odds are they

[stampy]

hussey gone for 108

8/350 off 49.1
