A Darwin man high on mid-strength Jim Beam cans has told this week told The Advocate that Bangladesh's comprehensive thrashing of the Australians in Darwin last weekend is ultimately good for the game.

Continuing on from that humble observation, Nakara electrician Dale Chegwin conceded that Bangladeshi was also the better team on each day of the Test match and will take a lot of good momentum into the next Test in Mackay.

"No good," he told our reporter.

"They flogged us. They whipped our arses. And nobody saw it coming. You've got half these blokes living in mansions all over the country, and they've just been shown a thing or two from blokes that live in Bangladesh. I've never been there, sorry mate, I'm going to the bar, let's walk and talk. Do you have any smokes? Yeah righto anyway but yeah what was I saying oh yeah, fuck it's good to get some Test cricket back on up here, I'd never seen it, you know, on the count of me only living here for a few years but fucken oath mate the lifestyle up here is so much better, I'm from Melbourne originally, I just needed a bit of a change but yeah mate never looked back. Yeah G'day mate, just 4 cans of, mate you want anything? Yeah sweet three cans of Jim Beam and a Carlton Dry 3.5 cheers. But yeah what was I saying? Yeah let's go have a smoke but it's great to see us getting whipped by blokes that have to live in Bangladesh, like I've seen pictures of it and tell you what it's not for me and you've got blokes who have to live over there and train in the smog and they've just come in an steamrolled a team that has a fucking massage therapist travel with them, they probably don't have to do their own washing or anything, anyway, fucken how good is it, actually, I fucken love that we got done at home by Bangladesh. They were so gracious in victory, too, no rubbing it in or getting weird like the Poms and Indians love doing, so humble, what a beautiful people they are. Fuck it's too hot to be drinking this shit, I'm gonna die a sunstroke before the night's over but yeah mate, good to meet you, I'm going to Shags tonight so might see you there and also here's a tip from a local, do not by cocaine from backpackers, especially french ones, because it won't be cocaine, it'll be fucking goey in baby formula or meth, just warning ya, those frenchmen are all gypsies as far as I'm concerned."

Our reporter thanked Mr Chegwin for his time and terminated the interview there.

More to come.
