Bangladesh in Australia Aug-Sept 2008

[khalek]

The last two matches have made me wonder whether Bangla should be playing against Australia.

Man you were right. Even if we play with Australia 'C' or 'D', we will lose.

The warm up matches proved it too

Tim Nielsen is disappointed by the Darwin crowds.Frankly-what was he expecting ???. T20 style crowds ?

Aftab and Rasel have some serious injuries, I hope they will be back for the NZ series.

I think Mahmudullah is a very good batsman but he has a low strike rate but this is what we need from him right now looking at our batting collapse. We have lots of other bowling options as he has not become a good bowler yet and Farhad Reza is a decent batsman and sometimes bowls good as well so I guess we should be giving them chances as we are going lose the next match anyway.

The batting is hecka weak, we need at least another batsman and I don't see any reason why Mahmudullah shouldn't be there and Shahadat definitely has to walk out.

adding mahmudullah wont make the batting order any powerfull either, but anyways they kept sharapova, and dropped Nazmul!! i dont understand!! how can they drop nazmul? they should have just added either Mahmudullah or Reza in place Mahrab Jr, if they had to play them both then had to kick sharpova out

No Geeves so clearly we aren't experimenting too much but I wonder what they are doing since most of the players there aren't playing in the Test series against India.

Marsh bowled, has been struggling against good length. 1/40 after 8.1.

 

[Gilly Fan]

That was a brilliant ball to get rid of Marsh.

On about off stump, gets some movement into the left hander and Marsh plays all around it. Marsh played a couple of good shots in that innings but he was very lucky.

Since when did Watto use a GM?

 

[khalek]

Well done by Reza to get Marsh...

Can't believe Sharapova (Shahadat) was again included in the playing XI :

 

[India2011]

Bangladesh are doing very well to contain Australia, under four runs and over! Shahadat really deserved a wicket I think, but everyone is contributing from Bangladesh.

Watson gone! run out! go Bangladesh!

 

[India2011]

Great bowling and fielding from Bangladesh so far, they're really pushing the Aussie batsman. You can see they're really putting their heart in it, which is definitely a great thing. They seem confident and on the attack.

 

[khalek]

I think the target will be 210-220 so the batsmen will have to work hard this time, no excuses!

 

[Jakester1288]

Clarke gone now. Great work from Bangladesh here!

Yeyyyyy!!!!!! Pup gone!!!!!!! 2nd run out!!!!
