Austalia vs Bangladesh - 2nd ODI
A few changes for the 2nd match, trying to get everyone a game. The pitch looked good for the seamers, so Bangladesh decided to bowl first after the obligatory win of the toss.
Australia Innings
The pitch proved even trickier than expected with only Cutting able to score faster than a run a ball for his 12* (10). White guided the early part of the innings with 27 (30), but the main responsibility fell to Nevill who finished 37* (41). An odd innings indeed.
Bangladesh Innings
Bangladesh looked as though they were batting on a different pitch, flying past our total 2 wickets down and with 5 overs to spare
Australia: 7/106
Nevill 37
White 27
Al Hasan 2/19
Hossain 2/23
Bangladesh: 2/107
Jilani 33*
Iqbal 33
Henriques 1/14
Hilfenhaus 1/18
AB Medal
3 Henriques - 4-0-14-1 was easily the pick of the bowlers.
2 Nevill - despite doing it slowly, scored useful runs.
1 White - tried hard despite the wickets tumbling around him
Verdict
Bizarre batting, I've never scored so slowly on nearly full aggression.. Forget about it, World Cup time!
