Australia in Bangladesh

[vizard]

Bangladesh are showing their inexperience here..there's no way that they should be bowling these many overs, it's in their interests to slow things down but its good to see honest cricket being played.

See Hussey being nice and attacking. Perfect.

The only problem may be, DIzzy spending hours out there, running, getting tired.

 

[vizard]

What's the record for the slowest test 100 in terms of balls faced or in minutes at the crease...If it's anywhere around 280-300, Dizzy might challage it, should he get there!

I think it'll be more than that in all probability.. A Gavaskar 100 in last inngs trying to play out for a draw perhaps ?

No info on balls faced. But hell, I don't think he will take quite as long as some of these people. The record is over 9 hours.

lol theres a long on for Dizzy. He has 6 test sixes. I think he needs to add to that tally in this innings.

 

[vizard]

Thanks mate.. what on earth took Gurusinhe and Manjrekar over 8 hours to crack a ton against Zimbabwe lol..

 

[irottev]

No probs. Lol I have no idea.

New high score for Dizzy. Hussey has become quiet but singles are being accumulated nicely.

Lunch time!!!

Hopefully they can bat to around Tea with a lead of around 180 then have a bowl at Bangladesh after the tea break.

Despite Dizzy being slow, the run rate is decent. Australia RR 3.07

New Ball taken

New Ball not taken yet.

Habibul Bashar has been playing the same trick in every match.
He did not take the new ball in the last match too.

Dizzy looking good for a 100 here. Good to see the rain kept away, does it look like rain will interupt play again?

Who wouldn't?
On the pitches over there the old balls gonna spin 2 meters, lol

I sadly do not have pay tv so i haven't seen any of the matches besides the news. The series looks like a huge embarrasment for Australia. I just hope they snap out of it before the ashes.

The side is starting to look a lot like the old ashes side. Dizzy is back in, Kaspa had a short stint, Marto is back. Bad signs...............

 

[icyman]

They are definately weary now.
Had a long season and have an upcoming one too.

 

[irottev]

lol Gillespie dropped again. Looks like its his day.

I believe thats the third 50 run partnership Dizzy has been in, in a row.

 

[icyman]

Well,he's reached his highest test score.
Hope he gets to his century.

 

[IloveGilly]

Hope he does too, would be nice to have him back in one-dayers too and the Ashes.
