Ok. There is only one thing left to decide about the up coming first test - when will we win?

Depends whether we enforce the follow-on.

I'm going for the middle (second) session on the third day.

As good as it would be to see them roll Bangladesh in a day I think they will end up batting to 4/500 odd declared.

Bangladesh 2nd innings - 89

I'll vote for the final session on the 2nd day.

I can't see Bangladesh making 100 in either innings, therefore Australia will only need to bat once.

Yes but I can see them batting for a while yet! Boof & Langer 200's each. Gilly a quickfire century.

I'm wondering weather that bet about Pigeon making a test 50 still stands? Can't remember the two Aussies involved, could've been Legend & Tugga, not sure.

I can see it now Aus 9/700 declared Lee n.o. 100 (73) McGrath n.o. 50(41) :D.

What is the record score in a test innings? 742 sounds familiar, maybe they can go for that?

Bangladesh all out 110 in reply ;).

Because Australia will bat for days & leave themselves 2 days to bowl them out, I can see it going at least 3 days. They could beat em by stumps tomorrow if they wanted.

I didn't see much of todays play, did any Deshies impress?

I think Mark Waugh was one of them, not sure who the other was. Think it involved McGrath making a first-class 50, which he has since done.

Sri Lanka made 6/952 a few years ago.

No. Weren't disgraceful considering what we might have expected, but very obviously short of class & ability. I'm sure I'm not the only one who thought they'd get bowled out for a lot less than 97.

Cheers lads!

952 eh? I reckon they could do it & wouldn't be 9 down either!

Doubt they'll go for it though, 600 odd declared & win by an innings & plenty.

SK Warne. Another bet these two got involved in.
