Will the Aussies follow-on?

It caught my attention when I saw Bangladesh* score 300 odd
for the loss of a couple of wickets, but it wasnt enough to merit anything more than a whiff of attention at that point. Now, things are interesting, VERY interesting:

Australia 145 for 6 (Gilchrist 51*) trail Bangladesh 427 (Saleh 67, MacGill 8-108) by 282 runs

Now, how does that catch your fancy? Did you do a double take, yet? If they do get the kill, its going to be a fantastic morale booster to Bangladesh. Good luck to them, there isnt a better 1st 2nd Test victory than beating the newly crowned ICC Test champions (although, I dont quite think winning against Zimbabwe counts for much).

*The joke used to be/is that the difference between an ODI and a Test with Bangladesh was that they batted twice in Tests.

  1. Hell yeah!! It’ll be awesome if Bangladesh kick some Aussie ass ;-) !

  2. Bdesh now lead by 282 runs. I would have liked it better if they had gotten the Aussies to follow, but will wait and watch. Apparently its not a belter – so Bdesh getting 400+ is full credit to them!

  3. What I’d really like from them tho is build up Fauna Beta 1!!

    I hope that they do it soon! I am kinda getting tired of sticking with Hemingway!!

  4. Btw, nice theme!! And well built sidebar :-) !

  5. Yeah, this theme grows on you.
