Shaun Marsh >>>>>>>>> Warner and Usman in the Sub Continent.
Bangladesh 260 with The Brewer amongst the Wickets.
Usman Khawaja WTF were you thinking sheesh!!! :blink: :S :woohoo:
some good bowlling from East Bengal today; not sure what the captain was doing to be honest.
Another inglorious batting display on the sub continent.
Which West Australian will be used as the scapegoat?
Good fightback by Agar+Cummings.With a 50 run 8th wicket partnership. Now in range of the Bangladeshis total.

Shaun Marsh really piled on the runs in India earlier this year did’nt he.
Good to see Wade earning his keep…Lehmann is a farkwit for sticking with this guy…he should be batting behind Cummins and Agar now…good to see Agar gaining some confidence…perhaps he can be the allrounder Mitch Marsh will never be…
…out of interest where is Mitch gonna bat for WA?..surely Stoinis,Agar, Turner and Cartwright will get the allrounders spots over Mitch…cant have five allrounders in the side…can we?..
Gee’s Khawaja is a frustrating cricketer.
A needless, ridiculous run out late in the day yesterday put us well and truly on the back foot after rolling the Bangas for 260 & then just before stumps today almost dropped one of the easiest outfield catches you will ever see in fact he juggled and fumbled it 4 times before finally snaring it just above the turf.
The Bangas are 88 runs ahead now with still 9 wickets in the shed, good to see Ashton Agar having a decent start with both bat and ball so far in his return to Test cricket after a 4 year absence!
Freeze: Your right about WA. I had a look at our squad for the Shield on the waca website and was a little underwhelmed. According to the site, nine of the squad of twenty odd are listed as all -rounders, which given that we have only produced too many all rounders is worrying.
Ironical that guys like Agar and Cummins seem to be able to play with better techniques on these wickets than guys like Warner Khwaja, Maxwell and Wade. Youngsters Renshaw and Hanscomb have shown them how to adapt, pity one of them couldnt have gone on to make a ton.
Aussies will not be able to chase anything over 200 in the 4th innings on that track so someone needs to spark a Bangladesh collapse tomorrow.
some desperate fielding from Australia and a wee bit of luck with a run out
Oh Usman what is it with you and the subcontinent?..down to the C & VC to get Aust anywhere close to this 260 odd target…
More laughs than the benny hill show.
What was the Stumps score?
Last I heard,it was 2 - 100 near 7.30PM our Time.Near Stumps?
Grassy 2-108..trail by 156..the first half an hour tommorow if we don’t lose a wicket..Should get there.

Add todays dismissal to the list of frustrations re Khawaja
If Bangladesh can get either Smith or Warner out in the first hour tomorrow, I think they will be favourites. I’m sure the Australians would have liked the play to continue for a little longer this evening to get closer to the total. The pitch is playing lots of tricks and will be worse in the morning.
Very true mikeh, would be great if the likes of Maxwell or Handscomb can get Australia home if Warner and Smith go early…touch wood the captain and VC can go all the way…be interesting to see how well the Bangladesh bowlers handle the pressure and expectation of bowling Aust out, that for me might be where Aust sneaks home.
Wonder who replaces Hazlewood? Is Bird on the tour? Be great if Sayers got rewarded for his efforts of late…even Behrendorff might be a chance and something different being a leftie…
Great to see the West Indies keep their composure and beat the Poms…great effort considering they were thrashed the game before…well done to Hope on his back to back 100’s and Braithwaite for his nearly back to back 100’s…100 in the first dig and a 95 in the second…good to see Holder get the win, be a hard job leading a side like the WI with so much going off behind the scenes.
