Australia ke bouncy tracks aur tez dhoop mein jab bade-bade surma dher ho jate hain, wahan Bangladesh ne apne jazbe ka namuna pesh kiya hai. 23 saal ke lambe intezar ke baad Australia mein Test series khelne pahunchi Bangladesh ki team ne warm-up match ke pehle hi din bata diya ki wo yahan sirf ghoomne nahi aaye hain. Halanki Corey Rocchiccioli ki ghumti ball ne pareshan zaroor kiya, lekin Mehidy Hasan Miraz ne ek aisi innings kheli jo unke career ki sabse mature knocks mein shumar hogi.
To Hua esa hai ki:
Darwin mein khele ja rahe is warm-up match mein Bangladesh ne toss jeet kar pehle batting ka faisla kiya. Shuruat bilkul waisi hi rahi jaisa aksar Asian teams ke saath Australia mein hota hai. Tanzid Hasan zero par out hue aur top order ladkhada gaya. Ek waqt par score 105 par 5 wickets tha aur aisa lag raha tha ki Bangladesh ki innings jaldi samapt ho jayegi. Lekin tab entry hui Mehidy Hasan Miraz ki. Is khiladi ne na sirf wicket ko sambhala balki Australian bowlers ki bakhair udhed di. Mehidy Hasan Miraz ne 141 balls par 109 runs ki unbeaten innings kheli, jisme 11 chauke aur 4 shandar chhakkon ka tadka tha.
Doosri taraf se Australia ke offspinner Corey Rocchiccioli ne ghatak bowling karte hue 6 wickets jhatke. Unhone Shadman Islam, Mominul Haque aur Mushfiqur Rahim jaise bade naam ko chalta kiya. Bangladesh ne 263 runs banaye, jisme aakhri wicket ke liye Khaled Ahmed ne Mehidy Hasan Miraz ka behtareen saath nibhaya aur 69 runs ki partnership ki. Din ka khel khatam hone tak Bangladesh ne bowling mein bhi apna dabdaba dikhaya aur Cricket Australia XI ke dono openers ko saste mein pavilion bhej diya. Taskin Ahmed ne Campbell Kellaway ka danda ukhad kar unhe zero par out kiya.

The Guru Gyan Verdict:
Australia mein batting karna kabhi asaan nahi hota, lekin Mehidy Hasan Miraz ne jo resilience dikhayi hai, wo kabile-tareef hai. Bangladesh ki team 2008 ke baad pehli baar koi bilateral visit kar rahi hai aur unka ye jazba batata hai ki wo fight dene ke liye taiyar hain. Wahi dusri taraf hamare padosi Pakistan ko isse sabaq lena chahiye. Pakistan ki team aksar Australia mein ghutne tek deti hai aur unke fans sirf purani video dekh kar khush hote rehte hain. Agar Bangladesh ne Test series mein bhi yahi discipline dikhaya, to Australia ko unke ghar mein takkar mil sakti hai. Taskin Ahmed ka naya ball se impact dekh kar lag raha hai ki Australian top order ko mehnat karni padegi.
