***Official*** Bangladesh in England

[luckyeddie]

Are we gonna use this thread for when Bangladesh A (s******) come over here?

I shouldn't l**** (that is actually 'laugh', but I just wanted to make you feel that anyone can make a mistake with the CW filter) - you might be surprised at the quality of the youngsters they can call upon.

You could avoid being censored by spelling the word "snicker" correctly.

I don't know about you, but I still call them 'Marathons'.

/keep Americanisms out of chocolate

He did spell it correctly.

He did spell it correctly.

Eh, I stand corrected. Actually had no idea at all that snicker was an Americanisation.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Americanisation

Or Americanization?

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Or Americanization?

Nein!

 

[Pratters]

Nein!

This is where we stop and start discussing cricket again!

I watched the Bangle play aussies yesterday and enjoyed the game immensly. I absolutely love is when Ponting starts "biting his nails". I think the bangladeshis targeted Lee quite well yesterday, and they did very well to make 250 after being 75/5.

In honer of the Bangladeshi team I deicided to Dine at at a Bangla Retaurant last night. It was excellent spicy Curry ! mmmmm

p.s. mmmm I had to face the aftereffect's this morning though !

Is that a bad thing, americanisation?!

I make a point of not using Americanised words and spelling, given that I speak English and not American.

I didnt know where to put this and its well out of date but Ive only just noticed that in this Test series (Eng v Bang) Bangladesh had-

a bowling average of- 162.5
and
a batting average of- 17.1



Was this the worst difference between batting and bowling average in history, where 1 English wicket was worth 9.5 Bangladeshis?

Most random dig which had some point to it ever?

I seen this old thread and then glanced across to see Richards name as the last poster. So I thought to myself "what trivial thing is he going to bring up". Must say I was very surprised when I seen Goughy was the one who dug the thread TBH.

I just found something I found interesting and didnt know where to put it. This seemed the obvious place, but you are right I dont dig too many old posts up.

As a newcomer to the CW forums, these sort of threads are great entertainment.

Some of the comments and opinions about, for instance, Kevin Pietersen at the start of the thread are priceless in retrospect!

You could do a dig and reveal "interesting" comments any day of the week, really - people just don't because otherwise there'd be 500 or so active threads.

Scathing. Good to know I have somewhere to turn for advice on posting

Uh? It was more a comment on myself than anything - I've been told-off for digging more times than anyone except Bennett.
