This Ponting is that Ponting
Go Aussies go! Now it is time to say the same about Bangladesh, go Tigers go! Bangladesh started as an underdog but at the end of the opening day there was a mammoth total on the scoreboard of Fatullah stadium. This time players showed their patience to stay till the end of the day with five wickets remaining. And on the second day they reached a tremendous total of 427. The bowlers' contribution put the Aussies under pressure with the scorecard showing 145/6.
The way Bangladesh were playing it was hard to believe that they were the newborn child of Test cricket. Who knows, what will happen next? Actually, we won the match when we saw on TV the frown on Ponting's forehead. This is the same Ponting who criticised the Test status of Bangladesh cricket.
