Bangladesh vs Australia | 3rd ODI | Mirpur | 13/4/11

[10sion]

Australia have won the toss and chosen to bat first.

Tim Paine replaces Haddin. Pattison debuts, and replaces Lee.

Ponting might open !

Bangladesh have left out Rokibul and brought in Alok Kapali [one of the ICLers].

 

[Poison]

Could be another mauling if Mortaza bowls at the Razzaq-esque pace he has been recently.

 

[Poison]

But FFS I hope they go after any target they are set and don't just canter to 50 overs.

 

[NZcricketfan]

Mortaza should just retire.

 

[Arcturus]

Hoping Bangla Tigers put up a decent show.

 

[10sion]

Awesome start by us

Mashrafe Mortaza to Ponting, no run, dropped by Razzak at midwicket. It was a shortish delivery around of and Ponting goes for the pull and Razzak dives forward but couldn't hold on. It was dying on him. Cue: costly miss and all that jazz

14/0 in 2 overs.

 

[10sion]

But FFS I hope they go after any target they are set and don't just canter to 50 overs.

We are playing to save our test status.

 

[Arcturus]

Same old same old. Bangla getting clobbered

 

[Blitz]

Oh snap. Watson going at it again.

 

[haroonrasheed320]

Watson & Ponting starts from where they left. Run rate of 10.0 & Watson killing it.

Anti-Jinx Code initiated.

 

[NZcricketfan]

Bowling reminds me of Andrew Penn.

[Fawad_Bhai]

Records will be broken..Bangladesh are even worse than associate teams! issed:

 

[10sion]

50 up in 4.4 overs.

Time for Zuhr salah.

 

[ash 68]

omg- this might be more ugly than the previous gam

C`mon Bangla boys get a wicket

 

[NZcricketfan]

this is getting comical

 

[pakistanbest]

The bangladeshi team is getting slaughtered, they are playing at home, surely they should be playing competitive cricket. Sad sight to see

 

[gameovais]

It's depressing to watch Bangladesh get pummelled in this way.

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

Out of all the asian cricket teams, only Pakistan Srilanka and Afghanistan have good bowling attacks. Indian and Bangladesh bowling attack are rubbish!

Why....would you say stuff like that.

In about 1 min your going to have 100 Indian responses saying, ''well atleast we won the world cup''

*sigh*

*sigh*

They won because of their batting and no one can deny the fact about their bowling

 

[ash 68]

66/0 in 6 overs

 

[Arcturus]

[Rizie]

Watson in sublime hitting form cant break Afridi's record

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

aussies calm down.

 

[NZcricketfan]

Watson in sublime hitting form cant break Afridi's record

If he was batting at AMI stadium in Christchurch he probably would lol. The boundaries are so small it is insane.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

 

[Liverpool_Faizan]

how did england lose to this outfit.

 

[Mobashir]

You can' t make 200 they way watson is batting now. He has time on his side due to the superb quick start he made, now he should try take more singles...

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Watson in sublime hitting form cant break Afridi's record

As Gilly said it himself it is next to impossible to break Afridi's record. Watson is just a kid.

 

[Poison]

You can' t make 200 they way watson is batting now. He has time on his side due to the superb quick start he made, now he should try take more singles...

Obviously missed the last game Moby

 

[Afridi_Fan]

The fun is over.

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

(T)Watson throws it away

 

[Rizie]

damn Watto out

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

Kaptaani clarke walks in

 

[Liverpool_Faizan]

ah hes gone. nothing more interesting to watch now. turn off the telly.

 

[Mobashir]

Obviously missed the last game Moby

No I watched it is why I said this!
Hmmm so unfortunately right again!

 

[Poison]

Never fear Ponting can get 200

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

What would PPers say. Until waiting for the Pak vs WI series, would you rather watch Bangla VS Aussies or the IPL?

 

[saajidrox]

guys watson will play for RR in the ipl right?
when will he join the team?

 

[saajidrox]

ricky ponting opening the batting scoring better than a run a ball . seems he might hold that position in the future

 

[Liverpool_Faizan]

What would PPers say. Until waiting for the Pak vs WI series, would you rather watch Bangla VS Aussies or the IPL?

IPL

watching bangladesh is like watching street cricket.

 

[saajidrox]

Watson is available for our next game - where should he bat ? 5 or 6 you think ? Him add Taylor for last 10 overs ? Or at the top ?

warne tweeted it man the storm is coming in a form of his life .
