Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

Up to 2/69. Warner 50. Need another 196.

2/100. Chase has been good, the worry is if we lose a wicket and the rest might crash like 9 pins on turning track.

New batsman find starting on such pitches very difficult. Openers sometimes get a sighter from some pedestrian "pace" which can help.

All those people who wanted Nathan Lyon replaced must be munching the remnants of their last few teeth right now!

What a champion, and what shit captains he's played under!

if Warner gets another 30 or more we'll win....

I think the Bangladeshis will startt to feel the pressure. And kudos to Lyon.

He got another 40 and we lost. 3/170, all out 244. I was worried once Warner and Smith were out they'd all crash like nine pins. The only reason we got to within 20 runs was due to Cummins (especially) and Lyon at the end. Cummins smashed them everywhere and ended up not out.

well, good on the Bangladeshis!

Poms got rolled by the Windies in the 2nd test with some new gun batsman making centuries in both innings so I dont feel so bad losing to the Bangers...
Probably hard to get motivated when you are playing lesser teams and you have to expect the odd loss especially on the sub-continent where the pitches and umpiring can be a bit fickle....

I heard Geoff Boycott complaining that the Windies had the worst test team ever - I wonder if he's changed his tune

Worst in 50 years or so I think he said!!
