TFW Daily - Another day of chaos - Australia Bangladesh, 2nd Test, Day 1

22 Aug 2026 · 26 min

Australia Bangladesh Daily, 2nd Test, Mackay Day 1: The world’s newest Test venue was christened with more chaotic cricket, with 18 wickets falling on Day 1, 12 of them shared by two supreme left-arm quicks in Shoriful Islam and Mitchell Starc. Naturally, questions will be asked, but the pitch and conditions were blameless on another day played in fast-forward. Bharat Sundaresan attempts to make sense of a wild day with Geoff Lemon.
