Congratulations to BD cricket team for playing so well against Australia!!!!!

It's a very good batting pitch and BD never played well in their second innings ever . Our main target is to avoid the innings defeat now . Ofcourse they played good but none the less could have better and ending up loosing 3 wickets end of the day . On the otherhand Australia din't bowl well at all . Anyone deserves the credit that would be "Shahriar Nafees" for today and great support provided by Bashar as he should have done as a captain of the team .

Just wonder when Australia will bat they might end up with 500+ , if they can't that would be great for us :) That's how good the picth is according to the curators of the pitch .

Superb batting so far, but they have to keep it up for 4 more days, ie bat and bowl well. They are very talented, it's about time to utilize that fully.

Ya it is!!!, I hope they will bat well in the second innings as well if necessary, :).

Thanks Samee3d for sharing these pictures with us. We wish BD team all the best.

If we can only score some runs in second innings, we can do some justice to our ability. A target around 350 would be a good total for Ausies. Doing well on 3rd day will be a decider in this match. If we can get them out of the way before lunch and bat till the end losing not more than 4/5 wickets will give us atleast 150+ in second innings and will boost our chance of winning the match.

But learnning the aussies, they can comeback anytime to turn the whole picture around. It is not going to be easy even if we are to save the match. But lil tigers can do it, I am hopefull.

NB : All these Aussie Kangaroos are already fried up and ready to eat for our Tigers . So , cheer up guys !!!!!!! Just look at the picture and find out , How hungry is our tigers are !!!!!!!!!

Pathetic Effort
By IAIN PAYTEN
April 11, 2006

AUSTRALIA went from cricketing princes to paupers yesterday as brave Bangladesh continued their stunning push towards Test cricket's biggest ever upset.

Presented with half-a-million dollars in the morning for being the world's best side, heavyweight Australia were left scratching for pennies in the evening after a shocking batting collapse on day two of the first Test in Dhaka.

A career-best eight-wicket haul from leggie Stuart MacGill was overshadowed as Australia limped to stumps at 6/145, still trailing the pumped-up Bangladeshis by 283 runs.

With Adam Gilchrist (51 not out) and Brett Lee (13 not out) the batsman at the crease, Australia still need 82 more runs to avoid following on.
After a Dhaka paper described day one as "beyond imagination", yesterday fell in the realm of wild fantasy for Bangladesh, who've won just one Test from 42 attempts, been beaten by an innings 24 times and are the lowest ranked ICC side.

The Tigers' bowlers needed just 52 overs to tear up the reputations of Australia's stellar batting list, and bring the most spectacular boilover in cricket history one step closer.
"It puts Bangladesh very much on top in this game and barring any mishaps in the second innings, we're in the driving seat," said Bangladesh's Aussie coach Dav Whatmore.

"We have had some happy moments in one day cricket but as far as Test matchs go, given the opposition we're playing against, it is very pleasing."
A pitch whose bounce often varied between none and little turned into a minefield for Australia's big names – with Matt Hayden (2), Ricky Ponting (21) and Damien Martyn (4) all removed before 50 runs were on the board.
And once the Bangladesh seamers had done their work, the venomous spin bowling pair of Mohammad Rafique and Emanul Haque continued the carnage.
Defensive watches by Michael Hussey (23) and Michael Clarke (19) couldn't hold back the Tigers attack, with Hussey bowled by Rafique and Clarke likewise by Haque.

Gilchrist mounted a late resistance with some clean hitting but armed with only a five batsman roster, his support in Australia's long trek back into contention on a deteriorating deck wil have to come from the tail.
But MacGill, whose figures of 8-108 were his best ever, said Australia were not contemplating defeat.

"It is far from over. The talk in the dressing room is still how we go about winning the game," MacGill said.

"Although Bangladesh is in a strong position, Australia will fight hard."
Both Whatmore and MacGill highlighted the difficulty of adapting to the subcontinent's low, slow wickets with Australia holding just one full training session before the Test.

"We're tired. I think we probably could have done with some more time to get acclimatised," MacGill said.

The collapse was the worst possible result for Australia after tight bowling in the morning – and the aggression of MacGill – had notably taken the wind out of Bangladesh's sails.

MacGill's milestone was well-timed after Shane Warne did not appear in the field, suffering a strained shoulder fielding on Sunday.
Warne was being treated by team medical staff throughout the day and was rated a decent chance to return in the second innings, given the injury is not a bowling-related concern.

Opening with Hussey, Hayden lasted just 12 balls before he played forward to Mashrafe Mortaza and was adjudged lbw. Ponting played some aggressive strokes but, like Hayden, was caught plumb by a low bouncing Shahadat Hossain delivery.

Even Martyn couldn't do a thing about Rafique's fourth ball of the day.

we are on the way of loosing one more test match..i know that this will happned...this is impossible for us to bat both innins well...i know that collaps was coming....mr dream we play very bad....you creat the thread early.....we are playing test match ....a five day test match...even the weak team can have one or two good days....some one need to close this thread

your new AV looks nice....

all the bengali in australia now in shame...we are very upset what happned in the test...the way our batsman lost the wicket it looks like they have lack of brain....bashar...aftab...ashraful....damn....we are all buying tissu paper from supermarket to wipe our tears:bawling:

First of all I created the Thread when our team performed brilliantly against the superpower of the cricket world. That was a great achievement for a budding test playing nation like ours!!!! I strongly believe we should THANK those players for giving that almost undefeatable team such a shiver!!!!.People who can read the thread are also able to read the date :-) so, it was not early!!!

Moreover I think BD team bowled even better than our expectation, if you read Bangla Guru's post you will get an idea. We should not expect BD team to win over Australia, we can just hope and pray for it. I think the whole nation should thank our young players for standing so strong against the toughest twister in cricket world!!

Please do not lose your hope :-)

rihaad bhai is coming soon with a big reply to Mr irteja :Wink: :BigGrin:
