Bangladesh tour of Austalia

[Sanju]

hey guys who do think will be thrashed. :P

Bit early for this, the tour doesn't start untill July!

I just hope that Australia don't field a full strength side, because if they do field a full strength side the only loser will be the sport of cricket.

u could probably send in my school's 1sts team and beat bangladesh :

 

[andrew_nixon]

Our forum team could beat Bangladesh

Bangladesh should be given Aussie school players to play for them.

From memory, the Australian Cricket Board stated that they would be fielding the best possible side. So there's going to be plenty of chances for records of various kinds!

Apparently since Brett Lee started his career in the Boxing Day Test 1999, Australia has only had two debutant players in their side (Simon Katich - 2001 in England & Martin Love - 2002/03 Ashes in Australia), so new players are unlikely unless there are injuries.

I think if there is an injury to their first choice team, Australia will take the oppurtunity to bring in a new player.

I hope Austrailia fields a full strenth team......... that way Bangladesh can learn more from the tour...... they ARE gonna get thrashed, but it could bring out character in a couple of players which would be great for the future........ the confidence of that 1 player could rub off on teh whole team and maybe they'll finally at least DRAW a match

Peace

i would wish australia would field a full strengh team...

[andrew_nixon]

Bangladesh have announced the suckers, sorry I mean sacrifical lambs, no I mean squad for the Australian tour.

Khaled Mahmud (capt), Javed Omar Belin, Khaled Mashud, Habibul Bashar, Mohammad Rafique, Hannan Sarker, Mohammad Ashraful, Al-Shahriar, Monjurul Islam, Alok Kapali, Sanwar Hossain, Tareq Aziz Khan, Tapash Baishya, Anwar Hossain Munir.

i think even if australia dont feild a full strength side they will still thrash 'em. because there are still star batsmen and bowlers to take their place.

example Michael Clarke

 

[andrew_nixon]

Australia have announced a full stength side for the tests and ODIs, no new faces in there.
