Bangladesh would be ruing their chances after winning the Test series against Australia. But, the Aussies showed that they are champion material by winning the 2nd Test in Chittagong quite comprehensively.

Nathan Lyon turned the tides for Australia after they lost the series opener in Dhaka. Lyon single-handedly decimated Bangladesh bowling. He finished with 13 wickets in the game, as Australia leveled the series 1-1.

“I thought we played some good cricket at times in this Test match,” Steve Smith said. “The first innings, our bowling to restrict them to what we did was a real good effort. Lyon took 22 wickets in this series and that’s incredible.”

“We could have taken a bigger lead in the first innings but credit to Bangladesh, they really made us fight in this series. For us, the batting collapses have become a regular occurrence and it is something we need to rectify.”

Meanwhile, David Warner also played his part and struct a fighting hundred in the first innings. His innings ensured that Australia take a vital lead in the first innings and eventually create pressure over them.

“It took me around 15 Tests to work around my pattern on conditions like these,” Warner said after his important innings. “It has come off and it is nice to play well for the team.”
