Aus vs Bangladesh 1st test

[Chuck]

Aussies 1-233 after 50 overs.....wait hold on, thats BANGLADESH 1-233 AFTER 50 OVERS!

yes its true.....

i'll bet Murali's having a good giggle right about now! :D

[Sportz]

Yeah, what a disgrace. Surely they couldn't actually LOSE this game??? :eek:

[discipline pays]

bet you would be happy if you took the 1.07 on offer !!!

[Sportz]

Well, they're paying $1.72 now. I never would have thought it was possible to get $1.72 about Australia against Bangladesh on day 2 unless the first day had been totally washed out or something. Bangladesh are $11. Surely not!

This shows what happens when you're complacent. After all, they'd just finished a tough series in SA a few days before, they had only been in Bangladesh for a couple of days and had very little practice. Hardly a perfect preparation, but they obviously agreed to all that beforehand, because they thought that it's only Bangladesh and all they have to do is turn up to win.

[Sportz]

This makes for interesting reading, doesn't it?

Warne 20 overs 0-112 (econ rate 5.59)
MacGill 33.3 overs 8-108 (econ rate 3.22)

Not a huge surprise to me.

[Mofo]

It's a terrible track. How low and inconsistant is the bounce?

With runs on the board I think Bangladesh may actually win this.

[Sportz]

Yeah. Ponting got one that almost rolled along the ground. Australia now 3-50!!! I can't believe this. :eek:

[Chuck]

i had a bit of cash on the $11, just thinking what might happen, and it is great odds now!

[Sportz]

It's looking VERY good!

[Sportz]

5-79!!! :eek:

[Chuck]

saviours gilly and lee have taken us to 6-146..still 281 runs short of the worst test cricket team in the world

[Chuck]

i think the selectors under a new chairman will have a total reshape before tha ashes starts.... hard to see the likes of hayden, langer, martyn, gillespie etc. being there.....weed the old ones old slowly...

[Sportz]

Okay, Gilchrist and Gillespie bringing a little bit of sanity back to the situation now. Still 201 behind though.

[Mofo]

Australia looking good now. Should be easy peasy from here.

I figured yr bets were good at the time - not now though. I would say bad luck, but you were betting against Australia ;)

[Sportz]

Australia looking good now. Should be easy peasy from here.


I don't know about that. It's 4-212. They still need 95 runs and there's only the bowlers left after these two.

[Mofo]

Easy Peasy.

You can quote me on that sportz ;)

[Mofo]

Actually it was only 3fer when I made the original statement, but still - it should be ok from here.

[Sportz]

5-225 now. It's down to Ponting and the bowlers!!! If we lose this game, I can just imagine the headlines.

[Sportz]

30 runs to get. 3 wickets left!!! :eek:

[Chuck]

and they just dropped ponting.... :eek:

[goldmember]

sportz, i've been watching it but keep falling asleep, over 400 DOT balls

[goldmember]

Lunch , still 17 runs to go, thank god it will eventually be all over soon, i think?

[rabbitz]

17 runs to go and they've gone to lunch,how stupid is that,why not finish it off then have a feed,looks like they should get there though
cheers

[Sportz]

Well, they got there in the end, but boy was that a struggle!!!
