Rakib: "Wake up fayzal, it's not 2014, it's 2021 already!! I'm fancying a 9/10 wicket win here."

Foyzal Hoque: "People talking as if aus have lost already I remember a game bd played vs India got them out for low total only to loose because S. Biney got about 4 wickets not giving away so many runs. "

Tinura: "So far in this series, Starc impressed us most among aussie batters!"

7.32pm Bangladesh big favourites to go up 2-0 in this series. If it was spinners that caused damage yesterday, today it was the fast bowlers who used their cutters really well. Marsh impressed once again, on a surface that is tough, yes, but one that can't be used as an excuse to brush away the way the middle and lower-middle order fell apart. A marginally better but overall disappointing effort from the openers. Wade failed to get going, Turner and Agar fell prey to the pacers' skills, and if it wasn't for Starc's little cameo at the end, Bangladesh would've been chasing at a run rate of less than six.

What Australia now need are wickets at the top, and then get Shakib-Mahmudullah early as well, to have any chance of a win. Batting isn't easy over here but given Bangladesh know what rate they have to score at, they will feel comfortable earning the W.

Irfan: "@Jalal: Arrogance or chance of a rest before the IPL resumes in world cup conditions? No need to stress/injure themselves with minimal risk of losing their place in the side. Further, they will not lose much in terms of cash as well."

Mustafizur Rahman to Starc, 2 runs, slower ball, full and wide. Toe-ends the cut towards third man for one

Jalal: "@Sharjeel, the real answer to your question is one word, "Arrogance"" -- There, there, I wouldn't go that far in these complicated times. But I do feel it's a missed chance in not-so-easy conditions that can only improve their game

19.1
2
Mustafizur Rahman to Tye, 2 runs, full, on middle, change of pace. Bunted over the bowler to long off for a couple

Reno: "If Australia wanted to get an idea about their bench strength, they have got a rude fact check on how bare their cupboard is. Worrying signs for the future of aussie cricket? Do you agree?" -- we'll probably reach that conclusion if the same two squads played in non-Asian conditions, to be fair. There's no proof that the full strength batting squad would've reached 180 here either

Shoriful Islam to Starc, 1 run, good length, outside off and cut to deep point for one

Sharjeel: "Can you please tell me where are the key players of Australian team? Like Warner, Maxwell, Stoinis, Khuwaja." -- Warner, Maxwell, Stoinis don't want to stress themselves leading the bubble life. Khawaja just isn't picked at the moment. Smith, Finch are injured. Cummins because his wife is having a baby, Kane Richardson and Jhye Richardson also bubble life.

Mustafizur Rahman to Agar, OUT, Ashton leaves Ashton! Good length, outside off. Agar tentatively looks to cut it square, but there's a bit of extra bounce despite the slower ball, and it hits the glove. Pops up in the air towards the keeper and that's something his five-year old self could've also taken
