Australia tour of Bangladesh, Aug 22-Sept 8

[Arthur Crabtree]

Mehedi Hasan biffs a few useful runs at the end, leaving us with an intriguing prospect. I suppose BD are favourites from here, but Australia are only one great innings- plus some support- away from a win.

Looks like Hazlewood is injured.

Australia need the highest total of the game to win here, but 260 is always achievable with one decent partnership, as AC says. But Bangladesh may only have to take 9 wickets to win.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Great start though. 27-0...

[Arthur Crabtree]

And Renshaw out. Still, if they get that many for every wicket...

someone is injured?

Khawaja lives down to his reputation in Asia.

This is the game then, Warner, Smith and Handscom.

Hazlewood had to abandon an over when bowling.

If they get down to him the game has already been lost.

[Arthur Crabtree]

I see Warner was dropped on 14 and Smith was very near to a stumping.

UK averages 14.6 in Asia. Nine innings for 117 runs.

Wonder why BD pick pace bowlers at home.

Annoyed I forgot about this

Was gonna have a tenner on Bangladesh at 9/2

Really thought they could turn the Aussies over and it looks like they have a great chance to

Maybe I saved myself a few quid

Good to see Bangladesh playing well again, always in with a chance against Australia...who would have had money on out of those 2 seamers, Hazelwood being the one to go down injured!!

Lyon is certainly enjoying bowling in the Sub Continent.

His stats for India and BD serries this year are.

5 matches 25 wickets, 22 average at a strike rate of 49. Im sure he would be near the top of the bowling rankings if he got to play 15 tests in a row in these conditions.

[GarlicJam]

so, (at the risk of a jinx) Wee Davey is just 25 runs (or 3 sub-continental innings) away from only his second century outside of Aus or SA, with the other one being in the UAE.

If - a big word for a little man - he gets it, Aus will be a very good chance today.
