2nd One Day International
In the Box
Well after a dismal start to the one day series the Bangladesh batsmen will need to step up if they are to create any chance of winning the series, I’m Athar Ali Khan and welcome. On a positive note the bowlers have been in tremendous form, not giving Australia much to work with and even giving them a scare when chasing a very low total. Damien Fleming is with the two captains now for the all important coin toss.
With the Captains
DF: We are down here amongst the doom and gloom with a pitch made for the spinners as per usual. The opening bowlers will be dangerous with a lot of swing expected which will help the likes of Jason Gillespie and Syed Rasel. The clouds will get darker as the day goes on so it’s a good toss to lose. The two captains are here and it is Habibul Bashar to call.
HB: Tails!
DF: and its Heads! Ricky what do you want to do?
RP: We will send them in and have a field again
DF: Is this trying to maintain the pressure on the Bangladesh batsmen?
RP: They haven’t been in good form and we would like to try and take advantage of that.
DF: Any changes?
RP: Same line-up they played well the other day and I hope our boys can do it again!
DF: Thanks Ricky, now Habibul what do the Bangladeshi batsmen have to do to get themselves out of this rut and give their bowlers something to work with?
HB: I think we just really have to knuckle down and concentrate. Our bowlers have been in superb form especially Abdur and Mohammed so we want to give them the best opportunity to win the game.
DF: Disappointed to be batting first?
HB: Not really, our batting is our weakness at the moment and no matter when you bat you cant hide from it, I hope our openers return to the form they can achieve and set us a good start that the rest of us can build on.
DF: Thanks Habibul, there you have it Ricky Ponting has won the toss and it looks like the Bangladeshis will bat first.
Back in the Box
Thanks Damien, it looks like the Australians have opted for the same tactic to build pressure on the Bangladeshi batsmen early. This match should be quite interesting to watch and might give as a key to what the Tigers hold for the rest of the future. We will be back in 10 minutes time I hope to see you then.
