*Official* Bangladesh in England

[Scaly piscine]

Bangladesh had been collapsing in a heap against rubbish County sides.

What the hell that's all about with Anderson bowling so many short I've no idea. You still feel like if England actually bowled properly and had a bit of swing tomorrow then Bangladesh could still find themselves 250 all out. England have simply been poor today.

Surely that's a simple question? No one is on their level right now and I dare say it may be some time before anyone is - there are no obvious wrist/mystery bowlers around who look like they could go on to 700+ wickets - or, let's be fair, anywhere near that.

Yep I know that.

But my question is about the bowlers who are at boot strap shining level not equals.
Swann, Bhajji, Vettori are better than boot strap shining level. Don't you think?

Good stuff Tamim.

Yeah this will be over on day 3.

India too right? In their first test? Or am I hallucinating?

Yes! India too! bangladesh's first test innings ever where Aminul Islam (the then captain) scored a wonderfully paced 145 !!!!!

It was a very nice crowd the only empty seats behind the nursery end

Here's the right list...

704 v England, then 600+ v Zimbabwe, NZ, WI and England (again).

****ing weather.

Bank Holiday weekend tho; legally obliged to rain.

 

[GIMH]

Rather it rained for this one than next week tbf

 

[Neil Pickup]

Still wet in Oxford. Don't expect any play at Lord's before 4.

 

[Uppercut]

I've backed England at 11/10 regardless. Rain takes away time but it also makes it more difficult to bat.

More rain forecast for the morrow too, tbf.

 

[GIMH]

Stretch it out to Monday and make the day off worth it tbh

I rather think it makes batting easier. But in England there is a strange phenomenon that a day after the ball gets wet, it starts to swing wildly.

So my prediction is that Bangladesh won't lose many wickets today, but tomorrow morning they will collapse in a pile.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Incidentally, Bangladesh have already taken 4 more wickets than they manged in both tests in 2005.

Signs of improvement (or us being worse, which is also likely).
