Mitchell Starc took a sensational five-wicket haul in just 22 balls, reducing Bangladesh to 35/6 as Australia delivered a ruthless response after their embarrassing first-Test defeat at home.
Losing to Bangladesh at home was an epic embarrassment for Australia, but they’ve comeback into the series exactly how a champion team would’ve. Opting to bowl, Australia left Bangladesh reeling at 35-6 at Lunch on Day 1 of the second Test in Mackay. Australia have one of the most fearsome bowling attacks; however, the celebrated pace trio of Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins were neutralised by Bangladesh in Darwin, with the Tigers posting over 400 in the first innings. Their response, however, was nothing less than a nightmare for the visitors.
