Wow. Bangladesh, who keep getting whipped in any test match they play, and I think had a run of like fifteen games without a one day win either, have beaten the world champion Australians. Wow. I just saw the last six or seven overs - before that, had been too wrapped up in Rage, but wow. And that six in the final over, what a spanking shot that was. What IS going on with the Australian team? Boy, the local media is going to tear this to shreds in the morning.
Ricky Ponting just did his losing captain's interview thing (not often that happens to start with, but against Bangladesh?) and admitted to misinterpreting the pitch in the morning, won the toss, batted first. Michael Holding then asked if there was a sense of panic in the team, and Ricky was very honest and said 'it's not all that far off'. Respect to him for that, even though V as a native Tasmanian thinks her state cricket captain is a ponce LOL.
And of course, the final over of the match clashed with the Gorillaz Clint Eastwood video. So it was a glimpse here and there between balls. A famous day in Cardiff, and England in Bristol tomorrow/tonight.
Stuart MacGill was in the studio back in Sydney or whereever it was saying it was a good time to be back a cricketer in Australia (as opposed to an Australian cricketer in England I think was his meaning) and that it was lucky they are playing England next, they always have an even chance of beating the Poms, lucky it isn't Bangladesh LOL.
But still, at the back of my mind, I am sure that all will be forgiven even if they lose a good portion of their one dayers if they come back and win the Ashes five zip LOL. The Australian cricket team always seem to have this skill or luck of winning in the meaningful games. Three losses in a row, but a 20/20 game, a county game, and the first one day international of the tour - true, against Bangladesh, but thinking of the reasons to dismiss each of them if needs be :)
