Australia in Bangladesh

[irottev]

Ponting :< Don't bowl Hogg. Symonds or Bracken dude. Do you not realise that I have them in my fantasy team as captain and bonus. Jeez!!!

EDIT: Johnson now!!! Jeez.

I hope he gets smashed for 15+ runs.

Lol Ponting couldn't give a stuff about your fantasy team! I would say hes trying to see how the part timers can bowl on a lowish wicket as thats what the WI wickets will be like. Don't know why he hasn't used Johnson more though. That was the whole reason of playing him.

Lol Clarke is bowling when Bangladesh are trying to smash him, Cullen was bowling when Bangladesh will fighting for their lives. A bit hard to compare the two!

lol yeah, no matter how good a bowler you are, you can't make the batsman play a really, really bad reverse sweep. He has to do that himself.

Also, Cullen beat the batsman in the flight more than enough times to get a few wickets bowling with the fielders out.

Hogg finally cashes in and Johnson will finish off the bowling at least. Still don't know why he wasn't given a chance to bowl out his 10.

Cullen is doing a good job with no luck. He isn't being smashed which is a good sign although it is only Bangladesh.

Johnson doesn't really look like he'll be able to take a wicket...

 

[angryangy]

At least if he got smashed he might pick up a wicket. They're too content to play him at 3 an over.

 

[aussie1st]

That's a pity I was hoping with Johnson's pace he could be a handy death bowler. A bit like what Lee was meant to be like at the death.

Jeez Hogg has 3 now. Luckily I have him in my team, but not bonused

All over rover.

Well at least we won, but the fans would not have been happy. They were never going to win.

 

[aussie1st]

They had a chance, they just don't have any bigger hitters after Shahriar Nafees. Oh well heres hoping we bat first in 2 days time and actually make a bigger score. Probably won't happen given its on the same pitch.

 

[IloveGilly]

Certainly hope that we bat first. The pitches there don't seem to be very lively.

 

[aussie1st]

Well Bangladesh could probably post a alright total on this pitch. Something over 100 that is If we bat first another 250 looks on the cards due to our inablity to play spin which is a real worry given the Windies pitches will be very similar.

well only one match left before Australia's 2005-06 season is complete, and they get a well-earned break.
I'd say they'd be looking to destroy the Bangers fairly quickly so they can get on the first flight home lol.

Team selection will be interesting, there's no point in resting anyone because of the lengthy break following the game...plus Australia won't want to drop a game to the Bangers...but they still may be tempted to give Cosgrove in particular a game, moreso than Hopes or Dorey.

 

[aussie1st]

They better give Cosgrove a go.
Hopes and Dorey well knowing our selectors they will be likely to play too.
I just wonder who they will rest as Lee and Bracken are too important to rest and so to is Hogg.

 

[genghis_khan]

well i sure hope Cosgrove gets a game...not fussed on the other two lol...but i cant really see how theyre going to fit him in...and boy there's alot to fit in!!
