Relax dude. He's played only 2 overs. Let the match finish before ciritcizing.

4 useless players

Ashton Agar might gets past highest score in tests. Should be mindful of that.

[Yankees]

what a pleasant way to end it. Let's hope rain doesnt ruin it tomorrow.

The good news right now is that we have solid fielders within the ring such as Nasir, Sarker, Mehedi and Shabbir. I'd be surprised if Australia post over a score of 150 tomorrow. Fizz has yet to bowl on this pitch. If Bangladesh does get a sizeable lead tomorrow then I'll still continue to bat despite the threat of rain. Fact is that batting last will be nearly impossible. It should be easier to bat for Australia once the ball gets old, but the problem is that the Fizz is very effective with the old ball, so it makes no difference either way if you ask me. Also, can we have the youtube channel of Bangla Cricket running again, and possibly have highlights shown of this test series???

Anyone got any highlights?

[aklemalp]

Shabbir has to make a few run outs to make up for that golden duck

[Jadukor]

Wow the way ppl are expecting Australia to roll over and die.. i am guessing people will get frustrated and angry pretty quickly once a partnership develops tomorrow.

True that, people love when things happen fast, especially in this day and age. An instant is all that it takes.

Aus wont crumble, they don't

[aklemalp]

I hate the fact that all people in cricinfo commentary are talking about is Ashes this, ashes that...

[simon]

good day for us.
We are ahead, the momentum is with us.
But Aus have so much batting left, so don't want to get carried away.

Any highlights link?

BD were in the same position also.

And when was the last time Australia lost three wickets before reaching 20 runs?

Was it last year against SA?

Subashish? No idea. I thought he did fine with the chances he got. But let's not judge Shafiul off just 2 overs.

btw, is your signature a typo or is it the actual quote?

Our Asian counter parts should learn how to prepare wickets.

Since the England match, we have been preparing excellent wicket for test cricket.

It has been fair for both teams and really exciting..

time for teams like India, stop making flat tracks? that usually favours teams batting first?

[aklemalp]

^^ FYI, India has been making some really turners of late

If you wanna take a dig at indians at least dont use dumb examples

You just have to see the margin of India's home test wins.

That should easily tell you - if the wickets used have been fair to both teams.

Not only India, i used them as an example.

Even the recent Sri Lanka test matches in SL. They havent been competitive, really sad.

Test cricket in subcontinent is really bad.

But very pleased to see we are preparing excellent wickets, thats producing very exciting matches.

When it comes to playing spin, Smith and Renshaw is the last partnership.
