Australia in Bangladesh

[irottev]

I hope Gillespie gets a 5 wicket bag. I don't think a player has ever scored 100 and gotten 5 wickets in an innings.

 

[aussie1st]

I'm positive it's been done before as I remember a match where they said the player took 5 wickets and 100 runs. Some of the good all rounders would have achieved it.

Infact here you go http://nz.cricinfo.com/db/STATS/TESTS/ALL-ROUNDERS/100_AND_5WI_SAME_TEST.html

I was thinking of an ODI. Silly me.

But thats a relitivly small list. I bet Dizzy would love to make it on there.

 

[aussie1st]

That would be amazing if he did it. 5 wickets is definitely possibly, just depends what our other 4 bowlers think. You need a lot to go right to get the 5 for, Dizzy will open the inns so thats a bonus.

Thats if Punter lets him bowl more then 5 overs this time...

Dizzy could do it. The only problem might be his condition. He has been batting for a long time, (300 balls) He won't be fresh and probably won't be able to bowl for as long as he would like.

Then again, other people have done it so why not Dizzy

if anyone could - its Dizzy

Aussies reach 400. Hussey is seeing the ball sweetly. Just made his ton and now he is playing reverse sweeps.
Dizzy is also playing a few unconventional shots. few overs ago he hit a pullshot that just lobbed over the bowlers head.

3/419
HUSSEY 123*
Dizzy 122* :happy - 4 to pass Mark boucher

It's in the bag now, unless Bangladesh play the best 2nd inns of their lives. Tommorow shouldn't be any problem weather wise so if a draw was to happen, Bangladesh would have had to bat dam well.

dizzy is an efffen legend

i see the selectors have brought Dorey into the ODI team....if he gets a game i will be annoyed...with Dorey, one word - DUD.
they only like him because he's 203cm, he bowls the same pace and with as much bounce as that other dud, the 180cm James Hopes. Im sure there mustve been someone else out there.
Good to see Cosgrove in the squad.

 

[aussie1st]

Dorey has done alright in ING, better than what Lewis did. But from what Dorey has bowled in the ODIs it doesn't look promising. Should have brought over Bollinger! Hopes well we don't really have any other all rounders so no choice there.

we dont really need an 'allrounder'......Bolinger probaby missed out because we already have two left armers in the squad, but in saying that i wouldve had Dougie in over Dorey anyday!

 

[aussie1st]

Tell that to the selectors I'm waiting on Henquries, I've got no faith in the other crap all rounders we got going around.

It will be interesting seeing how Dorey goes on these flat trackers. Better not go for 100

 

[sportzchick]

congratulations jason gillepsie - highest EVER score by a nightwatchman

130*

its his birthday today too, turning 31 - now thats what I call a happy birthday

 

[aussie1st]

What more he is matching Hussey since he reached his 100. Hussey hasn't blitzed away.

Is Ponting letting the two go for a double century? Or perhaps a 300 run lead. Still don't get what hes trying to do.
