*Official* England in Bangladesh

[Migara]

Swann > Underwood

Underwood was toothless on covered wickets.

Swann > Underwood

Underwood was toothless on covered wickets.

Not sure about that......

Either way, Have been massively impressed by Swann in the last 18 months or so, excellent prospect & not all that far off being a genuine all-rounder. More than handy with the bat

Total crap.

 

[grecian]

Total crap.

Think your being generous there

 

[Jungle Jumbo]

Fletcher talking sense

 

[NasserFan207]

So England finally play 5 bowlers, with two spinners.

And Bangladesh decide to bat! It seems both sides are learning.

 

[Pothas]

This COULD be an interesting and close test match, all depends on this first day and in many ways this first morning. If (and it is a big If) Bangladesh get a good start then this will be good contest with England batting last with a slighlty weaker batting lineup.

 

[Athlai]

Hope Tamim hits a ton.

 

[Pothas]

Got 17 already, couple of gret shots and one very lucky moment.

Swann to bat at 7, time for a first test century perhaps?

 

[Athlai]

Wonder what the record is for one partner to score all the runs opening. Tamim 25 Imrul 0

 

[Pothas]

Really enjoy him smashing Bresnan.

 

[Pothas]

Swann already.

 

[Pothas]

Tamim so good.

 

[Craig]

Tamim's on fire.

 

[Goughy]

Tamim's on fire.

Dropped twice and batting like a fool. Still it is runs on the board though

 

[Athlai]

50! Wag

 

[cricman]

Tamim Iqbal is a Bad man

A little lucky, we need all the luck we can get

 

[Jayzamann]

I love Tamim Iqbal. He's like Viru's poor cousin who manages to hold his own.

And a test average of 36, at his age (hbd!), is remarkable.

 

[Pothas]

Ok he has been lucky but this is an extraordinary innings.
