Australia in Bangladesh

Ponting really needs to play a captain's knock now.

Ponting already has played a captain's knock. Its up to the other guys to stay with him.

Lee must stick in now. Cannot trust Macgill and Clark.

Exactly. I think the Aussies will make it. If Ponting was to get out it would make it pretty hard but interesting. I hope it doesn;t come down to that though.

As I say this, an arm ball just misses the stumps of Ponting. Good leave

 

[Short Leg]

Nah Macgill can come in and play the same innings he did in the Pura cup final a few years ago. By that i mean a really unco and lucky innings.

You can trust in MacGill he was in a 200 run partnership and had one with Hussey that was 100+ or something. But I'll like to have the current two in. Dizzy is good but he didn't look great against the spin.

 

[irottev]

He lasted the second most balls of the first innings. Hell he even had the second highest score. He averages something like 70 balls an innings. So at least he should be able to stick in there and defend off them. Not score too many runs however.

If it comes down the MacGill and ponting is still in, he will need to try to get it over with as soon as possible. Hopefully it doesn;t get that tight and I don't think it will.

Rafique really wants another wicket. It would be a 10 bag against the Aussies and a second 5 bag against them. In the same test.

And Gilchrist is gone, with the first ball he faced on day five for 12.

He wasn't out first ball. He started the day on 6 not out. I don't know where you got the idea that he had 12 and then got out first ball??

 

[cricket_lover]

yes, but 50 odd runs can be tricky on a turning track..very good comeback by Bangladesh, they're going for a kill...but they have nothing to lose, they have proved many points by now.

 

[aussie1st]

Hes always been good against pace but the spin can get him out at times.

Ponting is on 87 hmmm

First ball that he faced on the final day. I may be wrong, and I am sorry if I am.

Lol it couldn't be his first ball, he had scored 5 runs today.

Nope, he wasn't out first ball. I should know cause I was watching it. No need to apologise. I was wondering what was going on


EDIT:

Beautiful SIX by Lee!!!

 

[aussie1st]

You beauty runs requried is under 50 Now finish it off boys!
I think it's time we promote Lee above Warne, he clearly should be batting higher with his batting skills.

 

[irottev]

This is a great partnership. Lee is doing fantastic. Keep it up fellas.

 

[kuttakumar]

35 to win. Come on Aussies.

Brett Lee is gone! Gillespie has to stay in there now.
