SHAKIB AL HASAN
After his innings best with the bat on Sunday, ace all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan reminded everyone of his value with the ball as Bangladesh scuttled Australia out for 217 to take a first-innings lead of 43 runs. The left-arm spinner accounted for five of the batsmen-- crucial ones at that – to stifle the visitors' innings. He got rid of Matt Renshaw, the top-scorer of the innings, with an arm ball that took the edge to the first slip before completely bamboozling the aggressive Glen Maxwell with a peach, beating him in flight and turn as the batsman tried to go for a big swing. The five wickets ensured Shakib became only the fourth bowler in Test cricket to take five or more wickets in an innings against all nine Test playing nations.
