Bangladesh vs Australia

They almost did...in their first Test.I think it was Ganguly's first tour as captain out of India.

They scored 400 in their first innings and had us in all sorts of trouble...Sunil Joshi scored 92 I remember.

Sunil Joshi>Bangladesh.
 
If this match had been played underwater, I suspect it would already be over.
 
aussies need another 95 runs with 6 wickets. wat a disappointment. pathetic batting from bangladesh. even gillespie picked up 3 wickets.
 
Hopefully they had the foresight to 'misplace' the covers so there's some juice in the wicket tomorrow.

Ponting saved the Aussie's blushes and now normal service is resumed.
Yes i agree completly but isn't that the sign of a world class player able to save his team when they need him to? Hopefully Punter can score another hundred and aim to pass Tendulkar early next year in the race for the most hundreds in a test career.
The current score
Bangladesh 197
Australia 151/2 (46.4 ov)
 
this is ridiculous. i was only following the score and thought they had a new gillespie. how in the world did dizzy score a double.

Against a bowling attack that had the Aussies 6/90 on a fairly flat track in the first match.

I'm as incredulous as you are.

While this was one of the flattest pitches I've ever seen, the bowling wasn't all that bad. Can't believe he made it to 200, even if he was dropped twice.

Neither can i Melbourne Red though as you said it was a very flat pitch with the only real deteriation in the pitch being unaccessable by the Bangladeshian spinners. The only reason why Australia were able to get them out so quick was we had world class leg spinners and they did not. Otherwise they might well of batted out the remaining time in the match and made it a credible draw on their part.
