Super Eight

Well, once Bangladesh hammer him around, he'll hopefully get dropped for the following matches. Sadly though, it could well be too late...

In saying that though, I expect England to win fairly convincingly today. Bell to score a ton IMO, and Anderson to dominate with the ball.

He got hammered in the other matches, was lucky enough to make his figures look better by getting fluke wickets and against the minnows get some cheap overs in when the game was over but his overall figures are still crap. His fielding is also rubbish.

UGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Was hoping Bangladesh to bowl. Good to see Nafees back

We need to get Tanim out and I think we should then be massive favs.

Jeez, this bloke Iqbal does strike them well.

Saj gets the wicket of Iqbal.

Great ball from Mahmood. I guess that's why he gets picked...

Yeah... I have to say I am quite relieved.

 

[pup11]

Bashar at 3 good move IMO.

Next ball was even better! England bowlers should have a field day on this pitch. Real pace and bounce.

One decent spell a season (being optimistic), yep that's enough for Fletcher.

He will be a real handful on this track for sure.

Saj gets picked because he doesn't join the Pedal-boat captain [Fred] for late night drinks.

Be fair... Fred was Vice captain.

The conditions in Barbados would kill Bangladesh.

The low and slow pitches of Guyana would have been ideal for us.

Strange IMO, since Javed did exactly what they asked of him, and it seemed to be working. I'd definitely be picking Nafees myself, but I don't see why the backflip has occured.

England seem to be using the new ball pretty well. Looks a matter of time before the next one goes.

Haha I was thinking that.

Its like "alright we'll drop Nafees because he's out of form, pick Javed to ensure we don't lose early wickets, and then when he does that and we win a game of cricket vs. the #1 team, we'll drop him and hope Nafees is magically back in form"

Makes no sense at all. I'm not complaining since I love Nafees, but as you said, very strange. Javed would feel right to be a little hard done by.

0 1 wd 000 wd 1.

4 effortless runs off the over.

I like the look of this pitch in Barbados, its got pace and bounce and its probably the best possible venue to stage the WC final in West Indies.


Andy Roberts has certainly done a great job with the wickets in the Caribbean.

Maybe they fancy English bowling while the felt they had to give respect to the South African bowling. Only logical explaination.
