Australia in Bangladesh

[aussie1st]

Well Clarke and Symonds have produced some match saving knocks so it could happen again. We also still have Mr Cricket to come out. After that then we are getting into the lower order.

Maybe its time for Symo magic, its been a while after-all.

 

[aussie1st]

It's a good thing we got of to a flying start. We've already got 68, another 200 would make it a good total. But if things go pear shape we could scrape to 230. If Symonds clicks, 300 is on the cards.

This will do Symonds and Clarke good.

no 300 wont happen because Rafique and Razzak will strangle us in the middle over...the SLA problem again

 

[aussie1st]

Well we've scored 11 runs off Rafique in 3 overs so thats a start. Razzaq looks to be tough to get away. We're probably have to do one of those 100 runs in the last 10 overs to get 300.

We'll look for about 60-70 off the final 10 and if we're lucky, end up with about 240. They should look to score off Alok Kapali, he tends to bowl a few loose balls.

If Symonds is still in for the last 10, then watch out.

Not a bad estimate there. The usual double your score at 30 overs would give 240. But if these two stay in, we could hit 300. Hussey and Symonds at the death again would be awesome to watch.

The runs are starting to come back

Forgot there was Cricket today!
A Symonds* 63(94) Looks a little slow for the likes of Symonds.

 

[aussie1st]

One of the two need to take off, maybe they are waiting for Clarke to get his 50. But after that there is no excuses. They have to start smashing it, we have 7 wickets in hand.

 

[IloveGilly]

Symonds should reach 100 from here for sure (if he doesn't get out). I don't understand how we aren't at 5 runs an over.

260 from here is ideal...

EDIT: Looks like Symonds is finally turning it on.

 

[aussie1st]

Clarke has his 50. 6 overs to take off now, like what Symonds did in the last over. A bear minimum of 10 an over is needed from here on in.

 

[IloveGilly]

Looks like Rafique is causing them problems. Now Clarkes gone!

At least Hussey is in! He'll smash quite a few.
