Default IN A WAY IT\'S GOOD FOR US

fwullah,

It doesn't really matter if Australia won or lost against WI. The Australian team always plays to win. ONLY TO WIN. Therefore, they will also play against Bangladesh with a MUST WIN attitude.

It's good for us in a way for 3 reasons:

1) As they lost to WI, their confidence will be a bit shaky. I mean they won't be able to be 100% confident as they were.

2) They will not take any risk. They are likely to employ a better team against Bangladesh than if they won all those matches against WI. I mean, possibility is that we will play against all the renowned Aussie players. Its better for us to lose against the proper Australia team than against Australia A team.

3) Also, our players should get extra motivation knowing that it is possible for Australia team to be beaten. Especially by WI, a team we know quite well.

Who knows what will happen? I am talking about the 3rd ODI in Darwin........
