Australia v Bangladesh | T20 WC | Group F | Cape Town | 16/9/07

[12thMan]

Aus won the toss and will bowl first. Ponting thinks 180 will be a good total on this pitch

unchanged sides from their last match

 

[Hash]

OK......let's see Bangladesh's fantastic intent now.

 

[Pathan007]

170-180 and a Bangladeshi win.

 

[Phuzz]

Ashraful and Aftab Ahmed need to fire if Bangla are to have any chance. I really want them to upset the Aussies though.

 

[Islamabadi]

intent shown

 

[Amjid Javed]

I cant see Bangla causing an upset today!

(Hopefully am wrong!!)

 

[12thMan]

not a flying start today in runs or wickets
Bang 5-0 after 2 overs

 

[Amjid Javed]

Bangla 6/0 after 2.2

a sluggish start here..

 

[12thMan]

free hit coming up. atleast swing on this one

 

[12thMan]

free hit only got one run. last ball hit for 4 by Tamim
Bang 16-0 after 3

 

[Islamabadi]

brett lee trying to change field on a free hit...i guess shoaib malik isn't the only 1 not knowing the rules

 

[Hash]

brett lee trying to change field on a free hit...i guess shoaib malik isn't the only 1 not knowing the rules

disgraceful stuff from Brett Lee! He doesn't even know the rules! shameful, embarassing!

What a duffer!

He doesn't even know the rules! bla bla bla bal abla

 

[12thMan]

only two run from the Clark's over
Bang 18-0 after 4

 

[Islamabadi]

bangladesh sucks

 

[Uzi]

What are Bangladesh doing? Missing out on half volleys.

 

[pak4life]

bangla doing a pak here putting pressure on the middle order

 

[Amjid Javed]

Bangla 18/0 after 4 overs

 

[Hash]

What are Bangladesh doing? Missing out on half volleys.

This is the great bangladeshi 'intent' which Pakistan should be learning from

 

[Islamabadi]

Bangla playing test match

 

[Islamabadi]

choka by tamim

 

[Islamabadi]

tamim ko tameez say khelna band kerna chaiyeh

 

[12thMan]

single taken on the 4th ball of the over

 

[Islamabadi]

oh man...i feel bad for bangladesh

 

[12thMan]

End or powerplays
Bang 31-0 after 6

 

[Islamabadi]

choka by nazim

 

[Uzi]

When Pak bat against the Aussies, they can't afford to play like Bangladesh are doing now.

They have to take the attack to the Aussies. You can't sit back against the Aussies otherwise you will get hammered.

That doesn't mean all the batsmen play like Imran Nazir trying to hit every ball out of the ground. They have to bat sensibly, run as many singles and twos as possible and punish the bad balls.

 

[Islamabadi]

4 by tamim

 

[12thMan]

free hit coming up. Bang are not even taken enough 1s and 2s

 

[12thMan]

Free hit was a swing and a miss. but a no ball was called probably height of the ball and not foot call. Now why was the free hit not given again as there is a loop hole here to save the free hit

Pakistan take note of this

 

[12thMan]

Nazimuddin out ct Ponting b Johnson
Bang 40-1 after 7
Aftab in. maybe some hitting now

 

[pak4life]

boring boring boring

 

[12thMan]

Bang 57-1 after 9

clarification made by commi that on a free hit bowling a wide, the free hit carries over. What is with the no-ball on free hit and no explanation yet

 

[tauseefm]

yup really boring and on top of that, out field is hell slow..

 

[hellopak]

I think in one of the thread some one suggest "Pakistan should learn from BD", this is what he/she is talking about?

 

[12thMan]

Tamim Iqbal out
Bang 65-2 after 10.5

 

[pak4life]

the girl comes on to bowl

 

[tauseefm]

OMG Bang is avoiding the follow on

 

[Rob H]

73/2 off 12 overs. Pedestrian stuff from the Tigers.

 

[SUPERSAMI]

this is boring

 

[Daoud]

Ashraful out. 82-3

 

[infamous9383]

horrandeous stuff from Bangladesh

 

[Daoud]

First six of the Bangladeshi innings

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

bangladesh is pathetic....GO HOME BANGLAS

 

[Daoud]

Lee on a hattrick

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

i am staying up to watch this pathetic display...i mean forget about hitting...they can't even run between wickets....their rare wins are getting to their head

 

[Uzi]

The running between wickets has been pathetic.

 

[Daoud]

Lee gets his hat trick. First in a Twenty20 game apparently

 

[12thMan]

Lee hatrick
Bang 108-6

 

[SUPERSAMI]

First hat trick in 20/20, good stuff

 

[12thMan]

I think he has a WC ODI hatrick too????
couldn't match Malinga's ODI 4 in 4

 

[infamous9383]

what a disaster for Bangladesh

 

[12thMan]

only excitment of the game so far

 

[J-Essence]

such a boring game....

 

[PlanetPakistan]

top stuff from Lee! They just can't hit him

 

[Phuzz]

Great bowling by Australia, but the Bangladeshis are clueless in this game.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

no balls the only problem with AUS

 

[PlanetPakistan]

caught! but it was a free hit

 

[Hash]

Australia have bowled far too many extras today

otherwise Bangladesh would have struggled to get past 100

 

[Rob H]

Aftab gone now caught in from the boundary by the best catcher Hodge.

120/7

 

[Rob H]

Hussey now takes a good catch at long on from a ball that went as high as the mountain.

120/8

 

[12thMan]

Bracken on hatrick

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Clearly an overreaction from yesterday!

123/8!

 

[Usman Chadda]

Bangladesh dug their own grave. Rather than try out yesterday's approach and go hard at the Australians, they were happy enough to limp through

 

[Rob H]

edged and dropped. Gilchrist dropped to a flying man at first slip. Tough chance but he got a hand to it.

 

[Rob H]

Fantastic first over by Mashrafe. He's gone past the edge twice and got an edge which resulted in a tough chance.

1/0 off 1 over.

 

[Rob H]

Hayden slog sweeps Rasel, Mal Loye like for 6 to square leg.

15/0 off 2

 

[Rob H]

Pulled from outside off to cow corner by Hayden for 6. Rasel is too slow and Hayden is teeing off.

35/0

 

[Daoud]

Razzak bowls a no ball and the result of the free hit was very predictable

 

[Oxy]

I think Gilly is out

 

[Oxy]

Gilly you fool - is run out

104-1

need 20 off 51alls

 

[Oxy]

Aus win.

 

[12thMan]

Lee gets his hat trick. First in a Twenty20 game apparently

and Asad Rauf becomes the first umpire in international Twenty20

 

[Usman Chadda]

and Asad Rauf becomes the first umpire in international Twenty20

Er...?

 

[iZeeshan]

I can't believe Bangladesh let Lee take a hat-trick! That is unheard of in 20/20.

 

[12thMan]

I can't believe Bangladesh let Lee take a hat-trick! That is unheard of in 20/20.

this was #10 hatrick in T20 but first in international
