With Maxwell selected as well as Agar and Lyon, they are all finger spinners. I like the idea of a leggy like Swepson to add some variety.

Missed the first 110 minutes.

Cummins' spell must have been pretty lethal - or was he lucky?

Australia have gone with three spinners.

Warner, Renshaw, Khawaja, Smith, Handscomb, Maxwell, Wade, Agar, Cummins, Hazelwood, Lyon.

Edit: some interesting selections here.

Good to see Khawaja back in instead of Shaun Marsh. Maxwell getting another go at 6 is good, he can also bowl some handy offspin in India.

However I thought they might go with Wade at 6 and Agar at 7 and pick a third seamer. If they were going to pick Maxwell it might have been better to give Swepson a go.

Some pretty silly selection decisions by Bangladesh. They left out Mominul Haque, who has a test average of 50, and they also left out batting all rounder Mahmadulah.

Pat cummins has already ripped out three early wickets - Tamim Iqbal and Shakib Al hasan are going to have to bail them out.

wish i had a stream :/

lost the toss
what are the teams? espn not showing

toss in half an hour
presumably 1st 11 as well

O'keefe, arguably our best player in these conditions, has been dropped because of off field indescretions

From the distance of north america his treatment seemed a little harsh but I've only heard snippets

Apparently the game starts today at 2pm.

I'm quite excited. I think it is the first time we've played a series there that has been televised.

After being abysmal on the subcontinent in recent times, we played well in India earlier in the year against Test cricket's current number one nation.

As usual, we have two of our star fast bowlers injured - Starc and Pattinson.
