We know it won't happen anyway, but let's get *****'s hopes up and post in anticipation of the tour going ahead.

 

[Starfighter]

Heh.

 

[Gnske]

I'm so excited, I think I'd just have to find a noose if this tour didn't go ahead

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Last time Aussies played a test match in BD, didn't Gillespie signed off with a double century?

 

[Starfighter]

One of the greatest moments in test history that.

 

[cnerd123]

This tour isn't happening. The Aussies are too scared about getting their asses whooped.

Yes, Australia won the second test by an innings and only losing 4 wickets for the match

However, the 1st Test in the series was a nail-biter and Aus only just got over the line after struggling against the great Mohammad Rafique. And that Aus team was a lot better than this current one. Just goes to show that when it comes to Australia in Asia you never know what could happen.

Burgey Vs *****.. This is what it all comes down to.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

If BD prepare the same wickets as they did for the ENgland series last OCtober, then I don't see Aussie winning a single game

 

[mr_mister]

Hope this bloody happens

You're perhaps erroneously assuming I'll be watching the series if it goes ahead.

 

[honestbharani]

No I am accurately assuming you will still be posting in this thread no matter what happens.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

I hear that Stewie MacGill will be working with the BD bowlers for a few weeks.

 

[morgieb]

I predict a scoreline of 0-0

 

[vcs]

Would love this tour to go ahead, hope Bangladesh prepare some square turners.

 

[Burgey]

There's a large degree of certainty in that prediction.

 

[Starfighter]

I'd prefer some triangular ones.

They did alright against India tbf.

 

[Starfighter]

I don't think O'Keefe would be going due to his being a drunken prat, so the spin attack would be weaker with either Zampa/some mediocre leg spinner or, god forbid, Agar playing. I think our pace attack would do better than England's, thinking back to Starc's performance in SL , and Cummins also bowled well on unfriendly surfaces. It helps having actual pace, unlike England.

 

[honestbharani]

They did alright against India tbf.

Key will be if they can maintain that level of respect to the opposition and shut out their egos when its game time.
