The way we celebrated when Bangladesh beat Australia at Cardiff in 2005. Ashraful was batting at a different level that day. #BANvsAUS https://t.co/q5uljmZKZM

That’s a solid win for Bangladesh. In the end Aus had just as much trouble playing cutters as they did spin. Completely outfoxed by the Bangladesh attack. 6 T20
games in on this tour can’t really talk about rustiness. #BANvAUS

Oh! So this is the reason why Australia never played a T20I against Bangladesh.

Hmm… #BANvAUS

Absolutely. Bangladesh has been treated pretty poorly by Australian cricket for a long time and I think that might make this victory even sweeter. #BANvAUS https://t.co/NmdqeIXmd8
