Australia vs Bangladesh, at Nottingham, Jun 01 2009 - Ball by Ball Commentary
So Australia have come out with their full might for the warm-up game. They played full-strength, hit the ground running, and got a big total. Bangaldesh had some merry time in the initial overs, but the high-risk game they played it was never going to come off. Both teams will be pleased with their batting, but will have identified issues with their bowling.
