Bangladesh pacer Taskin Ahmed broke into a bizarre dance celebration after dismissing Australia's Cameron Green on Day 1 of the first Test in Darwin. Green had made 13 off 13 balls before miscuing a flick to Mushfiqur Rahim at mid-wicket. The video of Ahmed sticking his tongue out while dancing has gone viral on social media.
The predictable hype around Taskin Ahmed's quirky celebration drowns out the real story: Bangladesh's pace attack exploited the conditions to leave Australia at 74-4 in the first session. This is Bangladesh's first Test in Australia since 2003, yet the focus is on a foot-tap. Will the hosts' famed batting line-up, with Steve Smith unbeaten on 7, mount a recovery, or will Bangladesh's bowlers prove this was no fluke?
