Warne ... claimed 2-50 as Bangladesh lost on the final morning
AUSTRALIA completed a comfortable victory in the second Test against Bangladesh in Chittagong today.Leg spinners Stuart MacGill and Shane Warne wrapped up proceedings today, giving Australia a 2-0 series sweep, claiming 4-35 and 2-50 respectively in the morning session today after Bangladesh had resumed at 4-195.
Warne finished the innings with 5-113, his 36th five-wicket haul in Tests, while MacGill had 4-95 as Australia dismissed the host for 304 to win by an innings an 80 runs.
Brett Lee (1-35) was Australia's other wicket-taker, dismissing opening batsman Javed Omar, leg before, for 19 yesterday.
Warne and MacGill combined to take the final wicket of the match, the Victorian taking a catch in the cover after Mohammad Rafique had attempted one lofted shot too many, getting a big inside edge to a ball from MacGill.
The catch ended an entertaining cameo from Rafique, who chanced his arm once the Tigers cause was lost - hitting six sixes and two boundaries as he made 65 off 53 balls.
Rafique particularly cheered his home crowd when he hit Warne for three sixes in his 19th over. The host's slim hopes of perhaps forcing a draw on the final day rested mostly with opening batsman Shahriar Nafees, who made a century in the first innings of the first Test in Fatullah last week.
But Nafees added just four runs to his overnight total of 75 before he was caught by wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist off Warne.The remainder of the batsmen, Rafique and No.11 Shahadat Hossain (3 not out off 19 balls) aside, then provided only token resistance.
Aftab Ahmed (18 off 44 balls) was caught by Gilchrist off MacGill before wicketkeeper Khaled Mashud was leg before to MacGill for 11 off 32 balls.
Mashrafe bin Mortaza made 1 off four balls before he was caught by Jason Gillespie off Warne while Abdul Razzak failed to trouble the scorer, caught first ball by Australia captain Ricky Ponting off Warne.
