Pakistan vs Australia

**Tehsin** · #1 September 4, 2002, 05:25 AM

Looking at the scores of the Pakistan vs Australia game, one has to wonder if they are looking at the scores of a Australia vs Bangladesh game. :0

Pak - 117 all out within 3 overs
Aus - 84/1 after only 12 overs at lunch.

More realistically, this is what happens when a side plays an International Match where players are supposed to perform, has only four specialist batsman.

And not all four of them are also not well-established, in-form, confident etc.

I am looking forward to tomorrow's match of Kenya versus Australia. May be they will get some more young and new players - batsman into thier side? Then we will get to see how their strength is - how is the strength of the Kenyan cricket generally.

Pakistan is a very weird team. They go through a lot of internal conflict. And it effects the team performence everytime.

But, it sure does look like BD-AU match.

in the past a few people have complained against australia selection committe- they say that it is like bd. why so much complain from those people.

as far as i know, the only thing better than the great australia cricket team is the australian selection team. Who needs Waugh now ?

You do need Waugh. Watch the champions trophy and World Cup. You will learn the hard way.

with so many opinions given every day some are bound to be correct.

But maybe this speculation is correct, bd will beat austerelia because of no waugh

We'll find out about 'bd .... no Waugh' soon enough but before we get there, how about this ... Bd will lose to Australia even without the players from the current national team, the A team and then some.

How about this - Bangladesh will beat the Aussies with the two Waughs, that is, the Waugh brothers playing for Bangladesh.

**Mahmood** · #9 September 5, 2002, 09:47 AM

Yey to Fahmida.

Smart thinking. Now how do we get 'em?

Remember when Abahani was created and a certain Sheikh used his wits (ok, maybe not wits) to lure in (it's easy when your dad ..... and you have 'students' working for you) some of the best players in the country to play for the team. Well, let's dig him up from the grave and get him to redeem himself by getting the Waugh's this time. I'm sure that we can still find some of his 'student' friends in or around the parliament area keeping up the good work.

Getting the Waughs is easy. All you have to do is get some help from the ACB's selection committee. When they won't select neither of them after today's performance with the bat by the Aussies against Kenya, for the world cup 2003, the Waughs will be itching to play for Bangladesh.

And all BCB has to do is give them twice the amount of money that our big clubs pay to the foreigners and give them the CHALLENGE to get Bangladesh in the final.

I am sure, if money is not enough to switch them on, then this impossible challenge wil be.

After all, it will only make them more famous - what's more - they will also get to score runs under their belts in test match cricket too.

We need The Waugh brothers playing for BD ODI team and Beaven in our Test team.

The Aussies are wasting talents while we crave.

James90 · #13 September 6, 2002, 04:41 AM

Leave Beven for the One-Dayers. He's not so good in test/4 dayers

**Mahmood** · #14 September 6, 2002, 02:14 PM

We will take him. How much?

James90 · #15 September 6, 2002, 05:24 PM

I'm not sure but too much for your BCB to pay. And for Beven to leave the greatest cricket team to join BD it would be a lot more. Now with the Waugh's you have a chance
