Bangladesh in Australia
Game Two is later today, not even ten hours away in fact.
Game One was a total whitewash, Australia thrashed Bangladesh on a slowish pitch. The Aussies scored 8/254 batting first, Bangladesh could only score 74 in reply, their lowest ever ODI total. It was the West Australians who got it done for the Australian team with Shaun Marsh and Michael Hussey scoring the bulk of the runs. Shahadat Hossain took three wickets in the 50th over to be Bangaldesh's best wicket-taker for the game but probably not their best bowler.
Brett Geeves, on debut for Australia, impressed in his first game with two wickets while Cam White cleaned up a clueless Tigers tail. Tamim Iqbal top scored for the Tigers with 21, only two others could make it past ten. Extras cracked the top five scorers with five overall, all were wides.
