Pitching the ball up is doing wonders for the seam bowlers.

This is where our fast bowlers lose it in pink ball test. We had the best conditions at adelaide oval . Yet against.noob like mcsweeney  we were hitting the deck wasting the new ball

Pink ball test is the ultimate get out of jail free card for the Aussies.

Form on the day, in a series, etc. 

 

Many times, teams play with lesser intensity against relatively weak opponents and pay the price. 

Credit to BD!

Their stats are inflated by pinkball tests. Look at the wickets, average of these three in pink ball tests.

 

 

[Lord]

Enough lead by Aus already

 

BD need to bat really well to post 300+

[vvvslaxman]

Ball is older. seam all came off. Batting is a lot easier now. Even Lyon looks untroubled. 25 cm swing yesterday. 18 cm today. 

[Sandz]

Bangers will get much better conditions to bat in the 2nd innings.

[vvvslaxman]

Adharmasena is too blind not to give that out. What an outstanding delivery from Shoriful. Mean inswinger  Middle of middle stumps. 9 down  t for 186 . Dream delivery Finishes with 7 for 44. What an outstanding swing bowling exhibition by SHoriful.

Brendon Julien compares that dleivery with Akram's deliveries from 90s. 

[Sandz]

That was clearly out and Dharmasena didn’t give it, while Steve Smith shouldn’t have been given out.

[vvvslaxman]

Spinners are useless here. Hardly any turn. Mehidy is somewhat an unorthodox bowler. May be he can do something. Taijul is traditional.

[test fan]

139 lead is too much.  Bangladesh needs 375+ in 2nd innings 

[jf1gp_1]

For the first time in my life i am seriously following a BD match. Sure they are behind but i am curious to see what they do with bat next. 

[vvvslaxman]

Swing is still there. Not as much as y day though. So Starc will still be a threat

[Sandz]

Think Hazelwood is going to be more dangerous this innings

There’s less swing today but more bounce and carry, the surface has quickened up.
