ODI World Cup.

[Pies4shaw]

Smith lbw for 1. Waste of a review, too. He was plumb.

[Donny]

Smith out lbw 1.

5/354.

[Pies4shaw]

Australia have to sort out how to close the innings - yet again, the moment Maxwell departs, it turns to sludge.

[Pies4shaw]

5/359. 2 overs to go.

[Pies4shaw]

Oh, good - it's raining.

[Pies4shaw]

5/368 from 49. Rain delay.

[Donny]

5/368. Off for rain.

1 over left.

[Pies4shaw]

They're back, now for the last over. Could be interesting. Stoinis normally takes 6 balls to get going.

[Donny]

Players back on.

Carey facing.

1. Single.

2. Stoinis drives. Single.

3. Carey. Single.

4. Stoinis straight drives for 4.

5. Stoinis mishits for 4.

6. Drives for 2.

5/381.

[Pies4shaw]

5/381 from the 50.

Khawaja shows that even when he scores 89 at better than a run a ball he contributes more to the opponents than to his own team.

He is a big problem. It'd almost be better if he scored lots of ducks. Then, at least, the selectors would have no trouble leaving him out.

Run out! Direct hit by Finch.

What is with these batsmen? When the pitch offers 400+ runs, the last thing you want to risk is a run out. Is Khawaja Disease contagious?

.......................................

And 6 minutes later, Khawaja fires a return right into the batsman's ankle. Ouch!

Maxwell has come on early.

[K]

Bangladesh 1/36 (6.5).

Broadcast predictor: Oz 94%, Bangladesh 6%.

Odds: Oz 95%, Bangladesh 5%.
.............................................

NCN comes on.

Harsha Bhogle: "Are you comfortable with him?"
Slater: "No. He's a medium pacer who can be targeted."


LBW appeal. Not out. They review. Carey was the one who pushed for it.
Pitching outside leg. Very early to lose the review...
Carey mutters the f-word.

The sun is out... but cricinfo gives us DLS targets anyway:
"20 over par for DLS - 132/1, 150/2, 172/3, 200/4".

There are huge cheers even for singles. There must be lots of Bangladeshis in the crowd.
