YYou know, when I joined you guys it was because I was told you were good ...
We did it. Finally. I now want to marry The Muss and I always wanted to marry Dirty Dirk, so nothing new there. Nice to see the Bangas doing well, just not against us. To be fair, when Australia bowled it did become clear that the pitch had a lot to do with the poor batting performance. The Bangladesh batsmen just couldn't cope with Tait-ness and Nannesity and - thank god - we got our own back a little.
Clearly Purna didn't pay Clarke enough, because he didn't get his boys to throw the match so that Bangladesh could go through. And clearly I didn't pay him enough to NOT bat at number 3.
Well, next we face India. That should be pretty interesting. Clarke is really going to have to have his batting shit together for that one.

The Banglas can't play short pitch stuff and try to get away by attempting slogs.
The more time Clarke bats the better it is for the opposition.
HAHA. Clarke at 3 against India...I want to scream with joy.
I'd still like Clarke down at number 5 or 6, but we'll see. I worry he has such a hankering to be Punter and that's why he's putting himself at number 3.
Purna, these grapes are tasting a little sour ... :-)
Good game it was. Much as I was hoping for the upset, it was fascinating to watch Australia get themselves out of that hole. Perhaps Haddin and Clarke might consider swapping places? A bit more self-belief might have seen Bangladesh through..but they're slowly getting there.
Have blogrolled you, by the way. Cheers!
