1 over, 1 maiden. 3 wickets. They’re some figures. Bangladesh went off for light at 3/13 rather than face a second spell from big Dan.

It’s not just that he got a triple wicket maiden however, he’s taken out Bangers form batsmen and given me an excuse to pull out the beer bullets

  • Junaid Siddique, primarily in the team due to his name been confusable with Jamie Siddons. Did well in the ODI series but is averaging 3.33 in the Tests. Vettori strikes first ball, comes dancing down the track and misses, McCullum drops the ball but then takes the bails, referred to the third umpire, that is out.
  • Mohammad Ashraful, all purpose giant slayer and Banging Captain, the guy who beat Australia albeit with some help from Roy. Leans forward and gets hit on the pad, de Silva has no hesitation in giving it, that looked plumb.
  • Rajin Saleh, well I haven’t heard of this guy but he’s almost 25 so a veteran in Bangladeshi terms. Averaging an impressive 25.6 and with 7 test 50′s to top score at 89 he sounds like the future. Wonderful stuff, floated up and hit on the pad and again de Silva has no hesitation in giving it, that is hitting middle and leg.
