All quiet in the Antipodes (ahem)

Post by MajGenl.Meade »

First Test, Mirpur, day four
Bangladesh 260 & 221: Tamim 78, Mushfiqur 41; Lyon 6-82
Australia: 217 & 244: Warner 112; Shakib 5-85
Bangladesh won by 20 runs
Scorecard

Bangladesh secured an historic first Test victory over Australia in Mirpur, with Shakib Al Hasan finishing an engrossing match with 10 wickets.

Chasing 265 for victory, Steve Smith's Australia looked set to win on the penultimate day of the first Test after David Warner hit 112.

Australia were still favourites at 158-3, but lost their last seven wickets for 73 runs.

I had the antipodes once, but they do this thing with rubber bands now to choke them off. Anyway, the reduction in anal bleeding was a blessing. I was starting to understand what women go though with their periods and, really, I never wanted to know that.

Hope yours clear up soon.

And for those keeping score England lost to the West Indies in the second test at Headingly. Test series now tied at one each; we'll get the bastards at Lords. ESPN does not carry enough cricket: I shall write to my senator to complain.

I think he's having a good run up at another attempt at humour here.

Good for them! I love it when the smaller nations win over the big league players. It encourages the sport in those countries, and makes for more audience.

Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

ESPN doesn't carry enough of any real sport (football (real), cricket, rugby).

Just subscribe to Willow and you'll have as much TV cricket as anyone could desire or perhaps less. Losing to the Windies is no particular shock; losing to New Zealand would be :D

And rubato, aren't you confusing antipodes with polaroids?

Cricket... not only a sport of sight, but also sound.

I think polaroids are what Inuits suffer from.

Don't feel bad, a lot of people don't understand humor; a third according to Scott Adams.
