Are you ready? We are about to begin a Cusp of History day. This could be – could be – the day that Bangladesh win a Test match in Australia, something that literally not one single person on this planet would have thought realistic even a few days ago.
However, this could be, and perhaps more realistically will turn out to be, the kind of jam that a team like Australia can still wriggle out of. The pitch isn’t doing much, the quality of batting to come is decent, and even a modest lead could be enough to spook the visiting batters.
So here’s the deal. Bangladesh need a wicket this morning. They need a good piece of bowling, or a bad mistake, to get rid of either Cameron Green or Alex Carey, and set back Australia’s chance to salvage this match.
Right now the Australians are 67 runs behind and four wickets down. Can they turn this around?
