3rd ODI: Bangladesh v Australia at Dhaka April 13th 2011

[aussies1st]

Nope seems they are taking the game as serious as possible. Should have moved Smith and Ferguson up the order.

 

[beads6]

Hopefully Ferguson is 4, I'd have sent him in but I guess Clarke is planning on moving up to 3 so wants the practice.

 

[Sudhir]

I declare Abdur Razzak an honourary Indian

Sachin thanks you.

 

[beads6]

Smith in now, don't agree with it TBH

 

[hineyrulz]

Smith wasted a great chance, now Hussey in.

 

[Sudhir]

I appreciate that Smith is still young, but at the same age Shakib was the number one ranked ODI all-rounder in the world and Tamim the Wisden Test Player of the Year ...

Show us something!!

How long do we persist with Smith?

Know he was dropped during the world cup, but Clarke might give him a bit of a run

Dont mind him in the side for a little while yet, but really should be upping the ante a bit over the next series or two, otherwise give another kid a go like Steve okeefe

Aust 3/179 - 26 overs

should get close to 400 for mine

 

[yappy]

He needs a good spell playing First Class cricket again and getting back the ability to build an innings. Would love to see him playing county cricket over winter. More proper cricket will make him useful in all forms.

 

[aussies1st]

He seems to have lost his way a bit, Christian would be a better option at 7.

 

[Sudhir]

Just saw a headline on Cricinfo which indicates Ryan Harris is playing in the IPL

If he's fit why isn't he playing this match? He'd have to be in Australia's best XI

 

[aussies1st]

Only just coming back from injury.

 

[Sudhir]

Only just coming back from injury.

Sure, but if he's fit enough to play in the circus .....

Anyway. Ferguson gone. Good to see Mashrafe in the wickets, although he hasn't exactly been economical

 

[TheParraboy]

notch and huss going for it

5/282 - 41 overs

 

[Sudhir]

Johnson sent in ahead of Paine

He probably won't get a bat now. Very productive tour

Edit - Well he does, but not for long. Disappointing from the three youngsters, all dismissed for single figures.

 

[TheParraboy]

first ODI ton to hussey since feb 2007

 

[TheParraboy]

Bangers need 362 to win

Australia should win by 80-100 runs

 

[TheParraboy]

bangers 1/45 - 6 overs

 

[TheParraboy]

bangers 1/105 - 17 overs

 

[Sudhir]

This is Australia's worst nightmare, Johannesburg and Cardiff all in one

:lol: They won't win, but still good to see them going for ithttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannesburg

 

[TheParraboy]

Bangers 1/169 - 29 overs
