Bangladesh [260 & 221] defeat Australia [217 & 244] by 20 runs to win the first Test

[Nil Dhumrojal]

How greedy can you be?

Be happy with the current target as it is.

Greedy??!!!!

I am asking according to our strength

 

[Cuts_and_cuts_hard]

How greedy can you be?

Be happy with the current target as it is.

lol wat? They need as many as possible

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

There goes our win

 

[boomboomcheema]

Hahahahahahahahahahaha run out )

 

[boomboomcheema]

Bangladesh choking )

Another one gone.

 

[boomboomcheema]

186-5
186-6
186-7
186-8

Bangaldesh )

And some were dreaming about a target of 300 )

 

[wasimjunior]

Bangla have totally screwed this. Sabbir Rahman is a massive let down. All hype

 

[Executioner]

Why will you play Sabbir and Soumya

Anyways lead is close to 250 but seriously we could have scored 300 and that would make Australia sweat really hard.

Still will back BD to win

 

[Executioner]

Bangla have totally screwed this. Sabbir Rahman is a massive let down. All hype

Hype. What hype?

99.99 percent of folks in Bangladesh think he is not a test player. Unfortunately among the 0.01 percent one of them is our coach

 

[Shafi]

Why Musfiq is wasting time to declare innings? 200 is more than enough

 

[Rafa]

Why Musfiq is wasting time to declare innings? 200 is more than enough

Only a miracle can save Australia from here.

 

[Executioner]

Why Musfiq is wasting time to declare innings? 200 is more than enough

Anything over 250+ is a psychological advantage. Easy to chase 200. Okay not so easy but achievable.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Bangladesh have not done themselves any favours really.

Kayes instead of Mominul like seriously?

Mosaddek was a big loss for them.

Australia chasing 280 on Day 4 should not be a big problem.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Apart from Tamim, they have been appalling with the bat.

 

[Executioner]

I said before that we should bat till tea atleast.

Atleast we have done so. Anything more is bonus

 

[Executioner]

Bangladesh have not done themselves any favours really.

Kayes instead of Mominul like seriously?

Australia chasing 280 on Day 4 should not be a big problem.

When they couldn't even score 220+ on day 2?

 

[ToeCrusher2]

So Australia gonna win this? Tough target but not impossible if it stays below 260, still 2 wickets left for bangla, let's see how far they can stretch this.

 

[Executioner]

I am disappointed with our batting. Need to make changes in the side even if we win

Easy to win against non Asian sides but teams like Pakistan and India will make us pay if we score only 500 in two innings combined even on a difficult wicket

 

[Deewana Mastana]

When they couldn't even score 220+ on day 2?

People like Warner and Smith should not be taken too lightly especially 2nd time around.

Anything is possible even though odds are still in favour of Bangladesh but the collapse gives them the edge.

That's true.

But chasing 275ish is very difficult.

 

[Mainul]

I am disappointed with our lower order batting.5 wickets down and it's all over.If lower half of batting order don't contribute,it is very very difficult to win matches against top sides. Bangladesh has taken only 44 runs lead in the first innings, courtesy a brave fight by Aussie lower order.

Bangladesh has presented an outside chance to the Australians to win.The way pitch is turning,it's Bangladesh game until missed catches and bad umpiring favours the Aussies

 

[Cuts_and_cuts_hard]

Not an impossible chase. But Smith needs to produce one of his specials.

 

[UN talkz]

AUS need 265 to win.
What happens in the overs remaining today will decide the match

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Soumya Sarkar, Imrul Kayes and Sabbir Rahman - They need to be replaced in the team.

Sarkar with mediocre stats even in domestic carries on playing all formats

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Warner is ever ready as always making his intentions clear in the very first over with 2 cracking boundaries.

 

[Shafi]

If Australia keep tuktuking they can't survive against Bangladeshi spinners. Wrong strategy.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Win turning into easy loss

 

[IndianHero]

If AUS goes with 2 wickets down by end of day today and with only 170 to 180 remaining to chase they have a good chance to win this test. I have gut feeling that may be australia can chase this one. But u never know bangladesh has good spinners as well.

 

[Shafi]

Khawaja tail-ender in!!!! Bangladesh should attack him.

 

[Executioner]

Win turning into easy loss

England were 100/0 and then 164/10 in a session

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Renshaw gone

 

[Shafi]

Tail-ender out!!!! How on earth he gets into Australia side. Must be coach's favorite

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Second lbw appeal in two balls, Renshaw missed a straight one really.

 

[Executioner]

Renshaw gone

Same as Usman

Like I said chasing 260+ won't be easy on a difficult wicket

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Khawaja LOL

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Same as Usman

Like I said chasing 260+ won't be easy on a difficult wicket

True but still imagine had it been 300.

 

[Shafi]

Khawaja reminds me Marqas North.

 

[Shafi]

Smith is another over-rated player like Root against quality spinners

 

[Executioner]

True but still imagine had it been 300.

300 would have been gold but our lower middle order doesn't aspire much confidence.

 

[Rafa]

Warner to get a ton.

 

[shaz619]

This is going down the wire

 

[Executioner]

This is some innings from Warner

 

[Rafa]

100 up. Australia favorite as long as Warner stays.

 

[Chrish]

Comon Banglos..

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Now this is Australia's game to lose from here with only 156 needed with 2 full days left and 8 wickets too.

 

[Aman]

Match winner Warner about to win Australia a big match.

A certain overrated English bat should take some notes.

 

[Chrish]

Still two quick wickets and BD will be back in the game

 

[MMHS]

Aussies are actually little ahead here. Unless we get Warner quickly, he'll run away with the game.

 

[BDwarriors]

match gone. nafis and mominul should have been there

 

[wrongun]

Before the series I said BD were actually a big chance as Oz batting was so unsettled and relied almost entirely on Warner & Smith...

Told you so!

I think at least one of those two will get Oz close enough for the win this time. But over 2 tests at home I think Shakib, Tamim, Imrul, Mushfiqur etc could certainly be their equal over that distance.

The most pleasing effort from an Oz point of view is Lyon standing up & showing he can be world class in Asian conditions again- as well as the leading off-spinner in the usual offies graveyard of Oz.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Warner and Smith will need to score atleast another 100 runs between them if Aussies are going to win this, a couple of early wickets and Aussies will fold like a pack of cards. 1st session of this game tomorrow will pretty much decide the game.

 

[Executioner]

Very disappointed with the team selection. I don't know why Nasir and Sabbir are in the team. Even so why Shafiul is in team. Fizz bowled ok but shafiul is just another toothless bowler who makes Rahat Ali look like Wasim.

Tamim Shakib Mushfiq Miraz how much more do you expect from them. When will our juniors man up and perform and if they don't why are the kept in the side.

How come we have batsman in the side whose FC averages are 29 and 34? How come we are ignoring players in good form and toiling hard in domestics.

 

[Executioner]

We may still win the match but the kind of performance we gave against a team like India we would have been facing innings defeat.

 

[Kianig89]

First hour will be important. Get Warner and Bangladesh are favourites but if Warner sails the 1 st hour and its curtains

 

[ToeCrusher2]

The underdog westindies won the match today, want the underdog to win in this match as well but not sure who the underdog is here

 

[Chrish]

Warner still rubbish in SC?

 

[bujhee kom]

I called the test v England correctly whilst others lost hope. Take it from me: WE GOT THIS!

 

[Hamza_]

The underdog westindies won the match today, want the underdog to win in this match as well but not sure who the underdog is here

Epic!

 

[The_Odd_One]

Bangladesh should still win this one. 260+ is not an easy target to chase for a non-Asian team in Asia.

 

[CanadianG00se]

None of that matters. One session of Warner and it's over.

Bangladesh are nothing but minnows. Sorry to break it to you but Warner and Smith are putting this overrated team in their place. It's what they deserve for the disrespect they showed towards Aus with those childish 2-0 predictions.

 

[ads101]

Think Aussies are ahead now and will win. Sad because Bangladesh looked like they had this. Poor collapse of batting and pretty bad bowling from bangladesh led to this. Surprised Warner has finally stepped up, but it's kind of a surprise the man does have such a bad record in asia (or even abroad in general), there was never really much reason, Warner isn't exactly weak against spin.

 

[Kashmirilion]

Why so much hate for the Bangla bhaiyyas. I hope they win and they will in sha Allah. They are very good team at home and not overrated at all they are rated just right. A few silly decisions in playing 11 had they made different choices would've done well they really need a good pacer who can reverse the old ball. However they still in with a chance and if they lose still made Aussies sweat for it. Cut them slack please. I Always root for Bangla if they not playing against pak.

 

[Sadevdesai]

BD is done !!!!!! On to the the next Test Match !!!!

 

[Chief Destroyer]

[MENTION=132373]Convict[/MENTION] What's your prediction?

 

[Convict]

[MENTION=132373]Convict[/MENTION] What's your prediction?

Early wickets, Australia collapses to about 5 out for 140 odd and then everyone gives up hope before a late partenership between two bowlers makes people think Aus can win before Bangladesh break the partnership and take the last few wickets easily.

nice script, but you guys had this in bag,

 

[cricfan967]

Aussies in tests have certainly regressed greatly, but no shot at Bangladesh taking em down. Beating the Aussies for Bangla is certainly a mental hurdle.

 

[JaDed]

The underdog westindies won the match today, want the underdog to win in this match as well but not sure who the underdog is here

) Both are trying their level best to get that title right now

 

[Slog]

This is after a long time that I bet some money on cricket (or anything really)

Seems like Im gonna lose a few bucks

 

[Slog]

Warner still rubbish in SC?

yes. Why is this even a qs

It will take 3-4 75+ score for me to shed off his subcontinent image

 

[Protea Fan]

Outrageous from warner under pressure

This will be a walk in the park for ausis unless they through it away

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Lol Bangladesh will probably win this with 50 to spare. Mark this post boys......

Too many runs for the Aussies these

 

[Slog]

Outrageous from warner under pressure

This will be a walk in the park for ausis unless they through it away

these two are the ONLY batsman they have lol

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Dropped !!!

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Warner in the midst of probably playing the greatest Asian knock of his career

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

And....he goes !!

 

[Protea Fan]

these two are the ONLY batsman they have lol

Handscomb looks comfortable in first inngs before getting out to a near unplayable delivery even maxwell can slog some 30-40 odd runs,so easily australias match to lose from here

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Collapse coming boyes
