Posted: Fri Apr 28, 2006 2:43 pmBaggy Green lists him at no. 3.
Bangladesh batting first.

Posted: Fri Apr 28, 2006 3:05 pmI'd reckon he probably will bat at 3. Can't see them changing the Gilchrist / Katich combination.
Could be an interesting game! Aussies have a pretty ordinary side on paper. If Ashraful and Saleh get going a score 230+ would probably test the Aussies.

Posted: Fri Apr 28, 2006 3:17 pmI hope Bangladesh make a few runs - good to see. Also good because then if Cosgrove bats around 5 he'll get a hit. Chances are he'll play at 3 though.
Posted: Fri Apr 28, 2006 4:43 pmDC still wicketless ... doesn't look like he'll get another crack in this game either the way Hoggy's going. Haven't seen any footage but heard he's been bowling pretty well.

"Mark Cosgrove, the rotund left-hand batsman from South Australia who made his debut today, also rolled his arm over."

Posted: Fri Apr 28, 2006 5:04 pmGood to see Cosgrove into the side. He will be a top class player for many years to come.
I think he will bat at 3, he is probably the player most suited to that position other than Hussey, who can bat anywhere.

Man of the match to Fatty Cosgrove. With whom I am not best mates either, but who I enjoy watching bat and with whom I have had a beer and a short chat a few years ago.
