8 for 167 at the moment, trailing by 93 runs

Wtf has gone on there?

Just our complete inability to play spin being shown to the whole world again.

Jesus. Why aren't they sitting back and playing it late?

Forgot it was on until my phone sent me app alerts.

No one has learned how even after Ricky Ponting's era.

It isn't that hard. Seems like we have a bunch of impatient campaigners in our team

Now the football season has finished, Aussie Aussie Aussie!!!!!!!!

Yeah . They're impatient but our footwork is terrible. Hanscomb and Smith are pretty good.
Warner is shocking.

Agreed. He sucks against spin

Yep, most of the Australian Test XI by the looks.

 

[SpiderBurton22]

Aussies need 21 to win with 1 wicket in hand. Cummins took 15 of the last over. He's on 33, Hazelwood 0 of 5 balls.

 

[SpiderBurton22]

And it's over. Bangas beat the Aussies for the first time.

In a test.

And it was as pathetic as we imagined it would be

 

[gokangas]

Wow - congratulations to Bangladesh but WTF Aussies? Shameful to know you bunch of heartless, whinging, prima donnas are in the first Aussie team to fall to the bangers. Hang your heads in shame.

LOL

That pay rise was well deserved

Not sure there's a more easily hated bunch of dickheads than our current test team.

Gives Essendon a run. I used to love cricket (and played at a very decent level)........but nearly fully disengaged now due to these overpaid bunch of clowns.

They rolled England there in a test last year too. Two arrogant test teams taking on a rising power with the best all rounder in the world, in all forms of the game, and they're duly done over in those tricky conditions. As Ronald Dale would say "serves ya bloody right!"

 

[KiwiRoo]

The Bangas have improved heaps over the last 10 years. Will be the new Sri Lanka

 

[ansonholt]

Agree: Bangladesh are *much* better these days than they have been in the past. That said, we have a number of guys out of form at the moment with the bat. Smith and Renshaw need to find some form, for instance. Hate to say it, but not sure Handscomb is the best option at #5 and I've never really rated Khawaja that much at test level. We need Mitchell Starc back ASAP, especially with Hazlewood out. Would love to see Pattinson back in for the Ashes: he is a brilliant test bowler on Australian pitches. Plenty of time yet before the first test in Brisbane to sort all this out.

you need to produce some tracks that do a bit. Your wickets have produced a lot of flat track bullies

Drop in decks just about everywhere now...

True.. Got those in NZ too. Some aren't too bad though

Best tracks are in the UK by miles. They turn & seam, but at the same time are reasonable batting wickets. 400 is a good score there, not the norm
