Bangladesh v Australia - 30th June - Canterbury

[greg]

168-4 36 overs.Should be an Aussie win but at least it has been a proper game.

Quite close in the end...

On paper Moss - but in reality the game was always going one way.

For me Bangladesh are a side that can finaly hold it's head up in the One Day areana, mainly because of some high quality batsmen coming through.

Still feel Khaled Mahamud is the worst player I have ever seen....

Different for the Tests where they are clearly out of their depth and they have a long long way to go before they cwill be able to compete with the top sides...

Whats everyones opinion about the gilchrist dissmisal?

[oz100no]

If he has decided he isn't going to wait for the umpire decision and he thinks he is out then he should walk regardless of weather replays showed he missed the ball. If he though he hit it then he walks. Should be left up to the individual batsman.

It just shows that sometimes even the batsman in qustion gets it wrong. Doesn't make umpires look so bad anymore does it??

[flanflinger]

I thought it looked not quite right when I first saw it, but then when he walked off I just assumed he had hit it... Goood on him for walking that's what I say, If he thinks he's out then he walks, it's what all players should do..

My Question is will he do the same in a big game, an Ashes Test or a World-Cup final...I think he maybe more tempted to stay his ground and wait when it matters. Most games against Bangladesh are fairly dull, but as Australia had already qualified and Bangladesh could not, it was an even more meangless game.

The other thing I find amusing is that it's the Aussies that are trying to bring walking back to the game, when they were the first to remove it.
