    Australia won by 180 runs to Bangladesh in 1st ODI

    .

    Bangladesh slip to yet another embarrassing defeat, beating their record of the lowest score in the process. Tamim got Bangladesh off to a decent start but once Stuart Clark broke through there was no stopping the procession. Hussey and Marsh set the match up beautifully with well made fifties but as it turned out, 254 turned out to be 180 runs too much. The second game is on Wednesday and hopefully Bangladesh will put up more of a fight.

    Michael Hussey is the Man of the Match for his innings of 85: "I thought the Bangladesh bowled very well and made it difficult for us. It's nice to be there at the end and cash in on that happy hour."

    Mike Hussey 85 runs, Shaun Marsh 76 and Cameron White 3 wkts.

    Ashraful: "We need to improve our batting. I hope next game we do well."

    Clarke: "I thought our energy in the field was outstanding."
