Best test match for a long time, and equal to any of those 'infamous' conclusions in '05. I really hope that the message has gone out loud and clear about the pitches that must be prepared for these matches - everywhere!! Gave something to everybody, but didn't determine the outcome!

I was keen to see how Ireland measure up against Bangladesh after England's mixed fortunes in the T20 & ODI series. Not the best start as Ireland suffered a heavy 183 run defeat in the 1st ODI.

Didn't even know it was being played to be honest!! Ireland need a promotional shake - up!
Australia tied the ODI series up 1-1 with the decider on Wednesday, after a 10 wicket victory over the home side India were bowled out for 117 in 26 overs with Starc taking 5-53, Kohli top scored with 31 & Axar Patel was unbeaten on 29. Travis Head 51 & Mitchell Marsh 66 required only 11 overs to chase down the target.
Bangladesh are strong at home in T20 cricket.
Bangladesh beat their ODI batting record which they set in the previous match with 338-8. Today's 349-6 was the full extent of play, as rain prevented Ireland from commencing their innings.
Australia won the ODI series 2-1 after a 21 run victory over India at Chennai.
