low full toss on the middle, driven past the bowler for couple of runs. Australia have won the series 3-0.
Bangladesh vs Australia, 3rd ODI at Dhaka, Apr 13 2011 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Much better show from Bangladesh. This is their second highest score - they hit 296 against India - against Test-playing nations. Tamim gave the start, Kayes built on it and there were contributions from Nafees and Mahmudullah but Australia still win this by 66 runs.
Please wait for the quotes from the post-match ceremony
Man of the match is Hussey: "It was a great day. I really enjoyed it. It was a big chase for them but I thought they chased it well. I was in a bit earlier than lot of my innings; judging the conditions and get a move-on from there. It was a such a good batting pitch that we could get the momentum going. There wasn't much for the bowlers, not much spin, quite different from the first game."
Man of the series is Shane Watson: "After the second game and today to get 360, it was a quite a good platform. The guys were able to get the momentum going. It's been a lot of fun;; this is my first tour of Bangladesh and it was nice to have played as well as we have."
Shakib: "We batted really well. we executed our plans with the bat. We haven';t bowled well with the ball in the three games. It's a learning process and we will learn from it. Everytime you play a bigger team, you learn from them .. how they approached themselves when they batted and the areas where they bowled. Nafees came back into the team after a long time and scored consistently. Riaz and Kayes have performed well."
Clarke: "It was a good series. Outstanding effort from the boys. Ferguson, Paine were with us through the world-cup, were keen to get a game. Pattinson made his debut. Philosphy of captaincy? Keep winning! I am lucky that Ponting is in the team. As a young captain I need to keep learning. Watson is enjoying his batting and also doing the job with the ball. We hope he can continue with his purple patch."
That's it from us. Good bye and good luck.
AB: "I think it is the time to get a genuine test batsman like Justin Langer as Bangladesh's coach."
Crash! The bouncer and Riad unfurls a spanking pull shot to fine-leg boundary.
Wow! Whiplashed! He moved outside leg and lashed the full delivery over backward point
slower one, just outside off, Mahmudullah mistimes it back to the bowler
backs away to lift this to sweeper cover
just outside off stump, slashed away to third man for a single
Harry: "Don't understand why mortaza did not come out and this shuvo sent ahead?" Puzzling indeed.
another tame push to covers
big swing and a miss. In the zone outside off and Shuvo can't get bat on ball
length delivery around off, pushed out to short cover
slower one, fullish, driven to extra cover for a single
taps this through point for a single
slower one, on the middle, turned to the leg side
screaming yorker, Shuvo just about digs it out
full and well outside off, squirted out to third man
flicks this full delivery to left of midwicket for a single
full in length on the middle, pushed out to cover
A wide down the off side this time. Release going awry
Paine goes diving to his right to stop the wide but can't get there in time. Wayward delivery
in the zone outside off stump, moves past the defensive prod and it wobbles as it reaches Paine who makes a mess of it. Posthumous swing!
Dolly. Kapali tried to heave the length delivery over mid-on but didn't connect properly. It lobbed gently to mid-on.
