Even for a newsgroup devoted to an author of fantasy, that has got to be the
most unbelievable thing I have ever read here.
Thanks for the heads-up, just in time for the 90 minutes highlights package
that is all that is shown of the match here in New Zealand :)

It was indeed. I also like that the embassment is being shared by some
journalists, including this one in the NZ Herald, who called the result in
advance, and then used that result he called to argue for excluding
Bangladesh from test cricket -

"By Dylan Cleaver
By the time you read this Bangladesh would have once more been put
through a ritual humiliation, this time at the hands of Australia.
It will be two matches to the bad in what is shaping as the most
ridiculous cricket concept since the underarm - a tri-series involving the
two most traditionally powerful nations in the world and the worst.
Their miserable tour of England - they were pulverised in the two
tests - has reignited calls for the International Cricket Council to strip
them of their test status.
Even the normally sedate wire agencies are editorialising when
covering Bangladesh.
"His [Khaled Mahmud's] appearance marked the end of the game as a
contest to be taken seriously," wrote Reuters following the first one-day
international of the tri-series which England won by 10 wickets with 25.1
overs to spare.
"Mahmud, a medium-pacer who races in and then appears to bowl slower
than he runs," Reuters continued mockingly.
Richie Benaud, the doyen of cricket broadcasters, has seen enough,
labelling Bangladesh an "absolute shambles". He has urged the ICC to "make a
firm and swift decision".
Shane Warne, never in danger of being labelled one of the game's great
thinkers, had this to say in his column in the The Times newspaper.
"What I saw just confirmed my opinion of Bangladesh. To be brutally
honest, they are not up to standard and should not be playing test cricket."

And another link from rec.sport.cricket. There was a rare appearance
from one of our few Bangladeshi visitors yesterday, but this time
without apologising for his team's performance. They really are a
genial lot, much like the Kiwis and the sorely missed Windians.
Warne and Hughes call for Bangladesh dumping
http://www.icc-cricket.com/ci/content/story/210188.html
"The worst aspect is that I cannot see any light on the horizon for
Bangladesh," Warne wrote. "I have not seen anything to suggest that
they might be even a moderate team in the years ahead."
(Kim) Hughes said Bangladesh weren't "up to standard". "It's going to
go backwards if you keep getting thumped," he said. "It's
embarrassing. It's bad for the game. It belittles averages and
aggregates. And it's bad for spectators. Why would you go along and
watch that lot?"

Just about everyone in rsc (bar the obvious) are sharing their
schadenfreude. It's been a good week to gloat - the 20/20 thrashing
was nice, Somerset chasing a big target with 3+ overs to spare was
better, but this was the best of the lot. I've not felt this good
since the 1st day Edgbaston 1997.

Since the result went the other way, we should now exclude Australia
from test cricket. That would give England at least a chance of winning
the Ashes.
