absolutely, its called the Ashes tour for a reason.
Still, no matter how bad Australia played, you gotta admit Bangladesh played very well (for them).
Symonds had a night on the piss, dunno if there was anything more sinister than that but he rocked up at the game smelling of alcohol and hungover (had a woeful warmup apparently)......

Symonds faces suspension after night out
June 18, 2005
Andrew Symonds, whose big hitting and canny offspin have made him an integral part of the Australian team in recent times, could face a lengthy spell out in the cold after he was found to have breached team rules by drinking and staying out late on the eve of the match against Bangladesh. At the toss, Ricky Ponting had said that Symonds had the flu, but by the close of the Australian innings, it emerged that he had been omitted for disciplinary reasons.
To compound Australia's woes, they were at the receiving end of a stunning Bangladeshi performance, though Simon Katich, who replaced Symonds, acquitted himself creditably with a rapid cameo. Symonds had apparently come out for the warm-up with the smell of alcohol on his breath, and in no fit state to play.
After the shock defeat, Ponting, John Buchanan and Steve Bernard - captain, coach and manager - met to discuss the issue, and exchanged views with Cricket Australia headquarters in Melbourne. The nature of the reprimand and suspension will be announced before Australia clash with England at Bristol later on Sunday. Though the possibility of sending the player home was discussed, he will stay with the squad for the remainder of the NatWest Series.
According to Australian Associated Press (AAP), Ponting became aware of the situation only minutes before he went out for the toss. He was quoted as saying: "Was I angry with Andrew this morning? Of course, yeah. I think all of his teammates would be as well." Incidentally, Ponting himself had come through well-documented problems with the booze, having been suspended for his part in a bar brawl in 1999.
Symonds had attended a dinner with seven other team-mates to celebrate Shane Watson's 24th birthday, but while the others retired at a reasonable hour, he opted for more liquid refreshment. Having been a vital cog in the one-day machine since his heroics at the World Cup in 2003, Symonds could well find that this hangover lasts far longer than a few hours.

57-0
11.1 Harmison to Gilchrist, OUT: gone! Gilchrist catches an edge chasing
a wide delivery outside the off stump, taken comfortably by Jones
behind the stumps, Australia one down
11.2 Harmison to Ponting, OUT: oh boy! gone first ball! pitched up on
the stumps, Ponting gets hit on the pad plumb in front of the
stumps trying to play it away on the leg side, loud appeal and up
goes the finger, Harmison on a hat-trick!
11.4 Harmison to Martyn, OUT: another duck! short outside the off stump,
Martyn goes after it, ball clips the edge and flies down to the
third man region, Pietersen in the deep makes no mistake, Harmison
on fire! Australia in all sorts of trouble here!
Australia, Stephen Harmison :D |
