 Shane Watson bowls during a practice session Bangladesh won the toss and decided to bat in the first one-day international against Australia at TIO Stadium here Wednesday. Despite the distraction of Andrew Symonds being sent home for a disciplinary breach, the home side won the first match on Saturday by 180 runs, with Bangladesh routed for just 74. Australia recalled all-rounder Shane Watson, who has recovered from calf soreness, at the expense of seamer Brett Geeves, who debuted on Saturday. A finger injury to Raqibal Hasan forced him out of the Bangladesh team and he was replaced by batsman Junaid Siddique.
