BAN vs AUS News

A comfortable seven-wicket victory ended the series 1-1 against Bangladesh and Team Australia registered their 144th win on foreign soil, thereby equalling the record set by England.

While there have been a few incidents of sledging from both sides, some incidents of the players giving send-offs have also been witnessed.

Lyon now has 75 wickets in Asia standing second on the list of most wickets by an Australia in the subcontinent. Only spin wizard Shane Warne, with 127 sclaps lies ahead of him. Also, the 29-year-old is now third on the list of most wickets bagged by a non-Asian spinner in Tests in Asia. Former Kiwi international Daniel Vettori with 98 wickets stands at position two.

The visitors were 225-2 at stumps in their first innings, trailing by 80 runs after Bangladesh were bowled out for 305.

Sabbir and Mushfiqur arrested the slide with a 105-run stand for the fifth wicket.

The crowd went berserk after Hazlewood's dismissal. The stadium turned green and even Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina joined the celebration from the stands. But what was sure worth watching later for the fans was their unique celebration style in the dressing room.

A day after rescuing Bangladesh from a top-order collapse with the bat, the left-arm spinner claimed 5-68 to help dismiss Australia for 217 and justify his status as he world`s top- ranked test all-rounder.

Ergo, with a fifty-plus score and a fi-fer in the same Test, the No. 1 ranked Test all-rounder, stands second on the list with eight such doubles in the same Test. Leading the chart is England great Ian Botham (8) which he had achieved in 102 innings.  

Pat Cummins, Nathan Lyon and Ashton Agar took three wickets each to wrap up the Bangladesh innings despite half-centuries from Tamim Iqbal and Shakib al Hasan.
