What is going on?
Bangladesh piled up 427 in their first innings which was amazing in itself given that everyone expected 100 all out, and now Australia are 50-3 in reply!
Surely, surely Australia will wake up and start wiping the floor with them at some point.

Quoting Gkirk (Reply 1): Everyone expected them to gub England in the Ashes, but they didn't, so perhaps it's Bangladesh's turn to humiliate the Aussies
you never know, scotland may even get in on the act at this rate!

How humiliating. Didn't Ricky Ponting say some time ago that Bangladesh should be stripped of test status??? I think someone could be eating humble pie soon.

Scotland v Australia
ICC Cricket World Cup
25 Lordanmol: Well if you ask me than Bangladesh has to get out both gilchrist and ponting before having chances of victory Regards
26 TSV: 90 something to get with 6 wickets in hand ... Put your money on Bangladesh.
27 Banco: You'd lose. Australia win by 3 wickets. Ooooh, you got out of gaol there, fellers.
32 TSV: Well maybe this proves then that Bangladesh isn't up to Test status just yet as any other average Test team in that position would have sunk Australi
33 Banco: Not really. You always nearly got out of gaol, but not quite against England. Funny, really. I was talking to an Australian friend of mine about that
34 HAWK21M: In case Ban had won.Their rankings would have shot up regds MEL
35 Monteycarlos: Hate to see what the Bangladesh team would do to your team if they made 469 in the first innings against the world's best team... shit you guys would
36 Banco: But no longer the world's best bowling attack. Warne was ordinary this Test, and without McGrath the Australian attack looks something of a shadow of
37 TSV: That's why they have to practice then. There is always next time ... Long term if we check the Fridge and the Freezer and they are bare too.
38 Banco: Any reason for that? From our perspective over here it's a bit of a surprise when we have something of a production line of outstanding young fast bo
39 TSV: I think every man and his dog has a theory but whether any of them is right is another matter. One could simple be injury attrition. For every hundre
40 Banco: There seems to be an element of denial about it though - not from you, mind. I remember reading the reports about Stuart Clark in South Africa as if
41 TSV: Plunkett and Foottit Great sounding combination. For our sake let's not hope it's as good as Lillee and Thompson.
42 Monteycarlos: Banco, you can believe what you want but when your beloved fast bowlers come down here and find out that they can't generate any reverse swing I am go
44 Banco: Where do you think Simon Jones learnt about reverse swing? Willing to be corrected. McGrath and Kasprowicz are at the tail end of their careers, and
45 Monteycarlos: There are aliens... did I just prove that?
46 TSV: I think that depends on one's state of mind.
47 Monteycarlos: After bowling a ball in Perth? Probably the same ball ponting had just belted him for six into a brick wall from 100 meters away. Why do you keep kno
48 Banco: No. Playing grade cricket in Sydney. You're talking very big about smashing the England bowling attack around considering that they took your line up
49 Monteycarlos: Banco, honestly I don't care anymore.
50 Bill142: Its ok, the little man inside Banco is getting upset.
51 Banco: What's with the snide comments? It was just a normal conversation.
52 David_itl: Banco, you know the Aussie bowler England's got to fear is the one carted for 113 in 10 overs against SA. Can't remember his name but pretty sure he's
53 TSV: Well if we have a Coach and Selectors like the Coach out of that English Soccer movie they could be Benson and Hedges, Peter Jackson, and another cig
