1st Test Bangladesh v. Australia at Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur.

[IKnowtheDog]

It's terrible that this team can't adapt to different conditions to home.

Bangladesh will lee getting better

You could apply this to all cricketing nations

 

[Bradesmaen]

Don't worry, Mitch Marsh will save us.

But Australia are the worst among them all.

I'm just so, so sick of us wanting to play fast cricket.

Get the runs quick, take the wickets, bowl them them out. Take the most direct route always. Smash the ball; get the runs fast.

The weird thing is it used to be the problem with our batting, but now we've got Hanscomb, Renshaw batting patiently. Now, it's our bowling that it really comes out.

Bowl to get them out, don't bowl to slow things down. It served to ensure that this match became a win/loss situation, when they were winning, a situation for us to save, not to drag out and grind into a win or a draw.

This genuinely irritates the s**t out of me. Why can't we just play boring cricket for a while; if it'll get us a draw where today we lost, without risking not winning, there isn't an issue, is there?

This is what that rubbish 20/20 cricket has done to real cricket.....

Wow just read that if Australia lose the next test they'll drop to 6th in the rankings. When was the last time that happened/have they ever been that low?

What a 24 hour period of cricket.

It's my wet dream.

Surely there's a thread for people who get excited by an average team (not a country) winning one for a change (Windies),
combined with those who just constantly bag their own country.....

No worries a home series is coming. Warner and the rest of the flat track champions can pound us back to #2 again.

Already been said I am sure but I am so happy that the wage increase was for 'grassroots' cricket.

I will argue with you but not out of disrespect etc.

I actually think it's a symptom of the way Australia played when they were dominating. 95-2007, they played the same way - but they could, because they were far better.

There has been no attempt whatsoever to alter that though, to adapt.

 

[Xtreme]

Glory be Bangladesh. Woo hoo!!

Hence Maxwell's dismissal. First ball after lunch ffs

 

[LFC2010]

M Wade should never ever play for this country again.

Can't bat, Can't keep.

Play Neville until A Carey is ready for international cricket.

 

[Cleavy]

time for another Argus report

 

[MotlopMagic]

Matthew f****** Wade. -21 for the test after scoring 9 runs and giving up 30 byes. He's so far away from test standard it's ridiculous!

Didn't catch as much of this Test as I'd have liked - is the Wade bashing in this thread just the standard post-loss scapegoating (i.e. justified to an extent, but way over the top), or was he particularly bad?

The part in brackets sums it up

Tough conditions for a keeper I thought

Yeah, we get it, you've posted that more than once.....
Surely there's a "I Hate Australia" thread you can disappear to.....

 

[Cleavy]

I think this just about covers it...

Yes, and that's because of that disgraceful 20/20 rubbish.

England is a far better side than Australia

 

[Marshland]

England is a far better side than Australia

As shown by their home loss to the West Indies last night.

Have to 'play their natural game' ...

I suppose his scores of 5 and 4 can be excused too?

I agree that Wade should never play for Australia again. He is an embarrassment. The Australian selectors need to pluck a young wicketkeeper from the pack like they did with Ian Healy many years ago.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

I think we should pay them more money. It's all they appear to understand.
