    "editor1": "<p><strong>BAN v AUS:<\/strong>&nbsp;Dan Christian said the Dhaka wicket being used for the ongoing Twenty20 series against Bangladesh is &quot;not spectacular&quot;.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In another low-scoring game at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium, Australia grabbed their first win on Saturday after losing the first three games.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The highest total so far is just 131.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Promoted at one-down, Christian hit a career-best 39 off 15 balls and piled into star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan with five sixes off one over.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, despite Christian&#39;s explosive batting, Australia stuttered to knock off a meagre target of 104 runs and had to bat until the 19th over to claim victory.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;They have been exciting games for sure but I don&#39;t think that&#39;s why T20 was invented,&quot; said Christian after Australia&#39;s three-wicket win.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Twenty20 was invented for sixes and lots of runs, in terms of that it certainly hasn&#39;t been spectacular.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Christian, the first Australian to hit five sixes off an over in a T20 international, still praised the competitiveness in the low-scoring series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It puts so much interest on every ball of the game, each boundary, trying to save one here it&#39;s become so important. They can have such a big effect on the game,&quot; he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Christian believes the wicket in Dhaka will not be ideal for his side&#39;s preparation ahead of the World Twenty20 in the United Arab Emirates in October-November.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Having played a little bit in the UAE, say Sharjah, we get a bit dew at night time and it&#39;s quite a small ground so 220 can be a winning score there.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Australia will wrap up their tour with the fifth and final match of the series on Monday.<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
