*Official* England in Bangladesh

[Athlai]

Shakib was robbed by the umpire there.

 

[Prince EWS]

OMG Razzak got a wicket. he is their worst spinner.

Haha yeah, always looks so toothless in Tests. Bring back Enamul.

 

[Sir Alex]

Shakib was robbed by the umpire there.

Tucker?

 

[cricman]

Tucker?

KP was all ready to walk off as well, it was inconclusive on replays, me wonders if that was Tamim Iqbal whether the dreaded finger would have gone up

 

[Athlai]

Reckon KP will get out to Shakib soon though.

 

[cricman]

trott dropped ... by Johirul

 

[Athlai]

HOLD YOUR CATCHESz

 

[BoyBrumby]

In every international coach's dossier this morning there'll be a new entry:

IJL Trott - gash against ordinary spin; props onto the front foot every ****ing time.

 

[BoyBrumby]

God, it's a hard watch, this. Pitch looks pancake flat. Unless it breaks up badly over the next three days it's looking like a draw.

Tons for the taking if KP & Trott keep their patience.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Ha. KP gets a life. Ball reversing in, hits him flush on, hitting top of leg. Suggestion of an inside edge, but Hill gives the runs as leg byes. No bat = gone for mine.

 

[cricman]

I'm done with these umpires

 

[BoyBrumby]

100 up.

KP on verge of 5000 test runs too, boundary brings him to 4999. He'll be the quickest ever English player in terms of time to that mark. If he stays fit he'll go past Goochie, won't he?

Lot of swing from Hossain, but he's not being given much help from his captain. If you can't put a few catchers in with a lead of 300+ when can you? Captaincy from both skippers not so much conservative as positively cowardly.

 

[Jono]

England just like India. Always be spoil sports.

 

[GIMH]

Talk of a draw premature. Bangas will fall apart second dig.

 

[BoyBrumby]

No slips, no gullies, no close catchers in front of square. Dire stuff. It's no wonder yer Banglas are hard up for seamers; it must be heartbreaking to bowl to this.

5000 test runs for KP; well done big fella.

 

[King Pietersen]

Nice for KP, quickest to 5000 in terms of days in the history of the game. Played KP, now get a 17th Test hundred.

 

[wpdavid]

Talk of a draw premature. Bangas will fall apart second dig.

Even if they don't, surely they'll try and set some sort of target, even if it's only for the last two sessions on Day 5.

 

[BoyBrumby]

FFS Kapes. That's a shocker. Comes down the pitch to a long hop and gets a leading edge.

 

[King Pietersen]

FFS KP. What was that? Is he ever going to score another Test hundred?

 

[BoyBrumby]

Athers reckons Shakib changed his length when he saw Pieterson coming; being unduly generous to the bowler I reckon. Was tripe, tbh.
