On a splendidly warm day in Nottingham, Ricky Ponting won the toss and decided to bat in the first of two warm-up fixtures scheduled for Monday.
Australia fielded a strong side, which included Andrew Symonds, Brett Lee and David Hussey, who flew to South Africa to compete in the IPL after their national duties last month in Dubai. For Bangladesh, 19-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman Mithun Ali got his first shot at the big stage. He will not don the wicketkeeping gloves, however.
Teams
Australia: 1 Shane Watson, 2 Brad Haddin (wk), 3 Ricky Ponting (capt), 4 Andrew Symonds, 5 Michael Clarke, 6 Michael Hussey, 7 David Hussey, 8 James Hopes, 9 Brett Lee, 10 Mitchell Johnson, 11 Nathan Bracken.
Bangladesh: 1 Tamim Iqbal, 2 Junaid Siddique, 3 Mohammad Ashraful (capt), 4 Shakib-Al-Hasan, 5 Mithun Ali, 6 Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), 7 Raqibul Hasan, 8 Naeem Islam, 9 Mashrafe Mortaza, 10 Rubel Hossain, 11 Syed Rasel.
