Is Cricket Australia staring down the barrel of a third two-day Test match on home soil within the last year?<\/p>\n
It would appear reasonably likely, which would be significantly frustrating for them given day one was a sell out in Mackay and day two has also been sold out.<\/p>\n
Anyone who has bought tickets for days three, four or five will need to be refunded, money Cricket Australia will frustratingly part with for the third time in a year.<\/p>\n
Of course, it won\u2019t quite hit the bottom line as hard as this same situation occurring twice during the Ashes.<\/p>\n
Australia losing eight wickets before stumps was the death blow for the Test reaching Monday. Cricket Australia would have been desperate for the Aussies to dig in and bat through most of day two.<\/p>\n
Australia leads by 101 runs after bowling Bangladesh out for 64 yesterday and has two wickets in the sheds as we approach the start of play.<\/p>\n
Barring an almighty batting display from Bangladesh mirroring their first innings in Darwin, this Test will wrap up at some point this evening, with the Aussies chasing down a measly total for the win. <\/p>\n
A huge loss for all hoping to head to work on Monday and sneak some Test cricket in the background. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Is Cricket Australia staring down the barrel of a third two-day Test match on home soil within the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":864913,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[64,63,740,85],"class_list":["post-864912","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cricket","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/864912","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=864912"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/864912\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/864913"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=864912"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=864912"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=864912"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
