**Official** Australia in Bangladesh

[Magrat Garlick]

Warne 9-0-63-0

Always wanted to say that...

 

[Blaze]

Bangladesh have shown no signs of improvement since they were awarded Test status.

can you get this series in the uk? would love to see this! lol

 

[Nate]

This is just funny. Warne is bowling terribly, but to the credit of Bangladesh, they`re putting everything away.


Someone stop this!

Nafees on 99.

Oh come on Ponting! It doesn't matter who he is, if a bowler has been going for more than 6, and then gets hit for 14 in one over, you take him off. I'm just running off memory here, but it seems that whenever MacGill and Warne play together, Ponting gives Warne a lot more overs than he does MacGill.

Edit: Warne gets hit for consecutive fours, and Nafees gets his first ever first class century. Well played, but a bit sad that he couldn't hit one in Bangladesh domestic cricket, but he has no problems carting Australia around.

100 to Nafees.
Superb innings.
Come on Australia.

 

[PY]

Congratulations to Nafees on a superb maiden century, carry it on old boy.

He's taken 48 off Warne in 28 balls.

Love it.

Great innings by Shahriar Nafees, and great bowling by Warne. See this why Murali takes so many wickets against Bangladesh, cus he actually respects them.

 

[Nate]

Nafees. Just outstanding. Almost a faultless century. The Aussies have been ill-disciplined, but these two have rocked on.

 

[oz_fan]

MacGill finally brought on.
This partnership is now past 150!!!

 

[Nate]

Stuff MacGilla.

He's only had three matches to do so in - that's what I call being fast-tracked (his FC debut was for BCB President's XI). In those three matches, he's hit a fifty in each.

Aye, that does seem to be a problem here (though I'm not watching). From the sounds of it, Ponting had set rather attacking fields and obviously didn't change them once Bangladesh started going on the attack. Ponting's made all this fuss about Bangladesh deserving their test status, and that they're not going to ease up, and then they underestimate them (again).

Really? Cricinfo says he's played 19 first class matches.

 

[Nate]

Ponting hasn`t been great, but the bowlers are the ones at fault. Hopeless stuff really, Warne trying to get a wicket every ball.

 

[PY]

Just hope if the runs dry up that they don't get impatient and do something daft....

Old habits die hard m8 :P!!!!!~~~~~

 

[andyc]

MacGill to take at least 4 wickets. You heard it here.

Really? Cricinfo says he's played 19 first class matches.

And that he's only got 20 runs, with an average of just over 1. Good FC form then.

Think that stat profile is tosh though he's played more than 3 surely?
