1st Test: Bangladesh v Australia at Mirpur, Aug 27-31 2017

[mave]

Terrible on field decision.
Great review.

 

[hineyrulz]

Can we pass the follow on??

 

[King hit]

Love the fighting qualities Renshaw brings to the side

 

[hineyrulz]

Renshaw showing his more experienced teammates up again.

 

[jargan83]

Passed the follow on!

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Why is it always Renshaw digging in? The bloke is the pup of the team ffs, a certain few players should be very embarrassed

 

[hineyrulz]

Shot!!!

 

[jargan83]

This is a day 2 pitch right?

 

[8Ball]

Good to see our 9 test veterans standing up to help out our young blokes like Warner

Both guys batting in the baggy green is a beautiful thing.

 

[hineyrulz]

50 partnership up, these two doing a great job.

 

[jargan83]

Renshaw far too patient, needs bigger levers.

 

[Eelectrica]

Renshaw far too patient, needs bigger levers.

Indeed.
How the hell is he ever going to force his way into the T20 side batting the way he does. I mean does he want to be a test player all his career?

Nah, too passive - they need to dominate, be aggressive - Davey's showing the way, why can't this derp Renshaw follow the v/c's example?

 

[Bazal]

Not sure who has more death riders, the Eels or the Aussie cricket team lol.

We look predictably rusty. Especially against spin on wickets where we historically struggle anyway. Just gotta be more willing to struggle through that initial period when coming out to the wicket than some of the batsmen have been. Not sure what planet Khawaja was on, and Lyon was a throwaway wicket anyway in a lot of respects, so realistically it's been Warner (who should have been more focused but also got a 50/50 go against him) and a reasonably rare failure from Smith compounded by Uzi's brain explosion.

 

[jargan83]

Shame, Handscombe was looking good.

 

[Bazal]

Shame, Handscombe was looking good.

Yeah he was. Just stayed down a touch, and I think he misjudged the line a bit too.

I wonder which Glenn Maxwell we'll get today? If his head's in the game he's a decent player of spin. If he wants to dominate from the outset he'll be sitting down pretty quickly.

 

[Tommy Smith]

I'd make fun of your struggles in this test but:

a) anyone who's seen Australia on the subcontinent would know that this series was a 50/50 contest

b) I can't laugh because England might well be about to lose to a local A grade standard side who've probably won about 2 or 3 Tests overseas since Ambrose and Walsh retired.

 

[hineyrulz]

We need about another 20 of those.
