Australia in Bangladesh

[irottev]

Good work by Ponting & Hayden, but the run out was unnecessary..now Martyn's gone as well..looks like Brett Lee has to save our arses again

lol, not quite yet dude. Thats only 3 down. Clarke, Gilchrist and Warne to come.

^

So long as theres one batsmen with the tail, they should be fine. If they can get Ponting, Clarke and Gilchrist out, Aussies are in a bit of trouble depending on what the needed runs are.

Martyn OUT!

His spot must be in serious jepordy now.

Yeah, just like Shane Warne's spot is after going 0/100
in the first innings.

Martyn didn't perform in either innings. Nor has he performed for almost every innings since he has been back.

Warne had a poor first innings. But he came back in the second and did his job. Hes also been good this year as a whole.

I like Martyn. But he just isn't doing well.

 

[IloveGilly]

Hopefully if they do collapse, Gilly will continue his current form in this match but taking 5 bowlers was a terrible idea in the first place.

 

[James219]

Despite his performances these last few days and his 'tentative' nature, the fact that he scored a match saving century the previous test counts for something, I would think.......

 

[aussie1st]

Martyn did make that 100 against SA. Without that he would be lucky to make the 2nd test. Can't blame him in the 1st inns most of the batters failed. Time for Pup to prove his worth.

 

[Brett_Lee]

Clarkes on his way do you think they'll bring out a nightwatchman?

 

[BigCrickNan]

:laugh :happy, Bangla are gonna win this.

 

[irottev]

Well they can keep Martyn now. Clarke can be the one to cut.

100 runs to get, If Bangladesh are going to win, they are going to need to get Ponting.

No more wickets tonight Australia!!!! Preferably none tomorrow either

 

[Sman-21]

6 batsmen instead of 5 would have been handy.

Think they should have sent in Gillespie or Lee.
We cannot lose another wicket before stumps.
If Gilly or Punter get out Bangladesh are in the box seat.

 

[aussie1st]

Clarkes on his way do you think they'll bring out a nightwatchman?

Nope, Gilly is out there. This is the key partnership now.
Don't want to depend on the tail again far too risky. Clarke hasn't shown anything this test, sure doesn't push his case for inclusion.

 

[sportzchick]

Clarkes on his way do you think they'll bring out a nightwatchman?

nope = Gilly's out there now - typical lower/middle order performance...one man to do the work and the rest doing sweet F A

 

[BigCrickNan]

I think Clarke should stay and Martyn should go unless Martyn has another big innings, becuase if you score one hundred it shouldn't secure your place. You need to consistent.

goodbye michael clarke:P wont be seeing ya for awhile

 

[Brett_Lee]
