Re: Cricket
That's embarassing. Bangladesh aren't up to test level and they're slaughtering us.

Re: Cricket
Also the sixth ODI between India and England is in danger of being cancelled.
After the abandonment of the fifth match in Guhawati due to a wet outfield the crowd -- who thought the ground was fit for play -- decided to make their own amusement by staging a full-blown riot in which scaffolding was torn down, the ground pelted with missiles and four television cameras wrecked, one of which was torched in a bonfire. Two of the cameras are those used to adjudicate run-outs and stumpings referred to the third umpire. Since replacements must be sourced from the UK, and since no ICC-sanctioned match can go ahead without the third umpire (who requires all the necessary tools), the sixth match may be cancelled.

Re: Cricket
You can add to the fact that everyone goes on about McGill not deserving a spot in the side yet everytime he plays he gets wickets. :
I'm not suggesting for a second that Magilla's a better bowler than Shane, but he's a more potent weapon than he gets credit for and a better option than many of the hacks we've had bowling recently.
(I expect mb64 to come out calling that it's only against Bangladesh, but how come Warne didn't take any wickets if it's so easy? Wouldn't be the first time this has happened when the two spinners have been in the side either. That is that McGill takes the haul and Warne goes home empty handed).

Re: Cricket
Credit to Bangladesh but the wickettakers are guys that haven't had much cricket of late & thus fairly fresh.
Imagine most of the guys suffering some letdown from the S/African tour + jaded,particularly after 'back to back tests' & quick exit to get to the subcontinent , ie , we're not really well prepared despite the supposed gap in class v our opposition .

Re: Cricket
Did hear briefly on the radio news that Warne was going to have a scan on his shoulder because it was giving him trouble when he bowled.

Re: Cricket
Banglans 6-413. Interesting that Symonds, who is inthe side as the All Rounder hasn't bowled. Surely his offies would have been worth a trundle at some point. Michael Clarke has bowled. Maybe Roy isn't Ponting's mate this week.
