*Official* Match 28 - Bangladesh v England

[cnerd123]

Can't see BD chasing this.

Their middle order has been too feeble. England's got a class bowling attack.

 

[Nate]

Botham is a joke. Shut uppppppp

 

[Jono]

No idea why Kayes called Siddique through. Just unnecessary

 

[Jacknife]

Jaffa.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Play that.

 

[Spark]

Shazhad definitely prefers the RHs. In fact I think he often forgets that he isn't bowling to them.

 

[Nate]

It's so hard to like Bangladesh, and they're playing England frbs.

 

[Jono]

Nasser calls it straight away. Bowl straight, which is the tactic, means hit off stumo. Not bowl on middle and leg.

And immediately Shezhad strikes by hitting off stump.

 

[cnerd123]

Sigh, I hate being right.

Gem of a delivery tho, would have done in most batsmen. Raqibul can consider himself a touch unlucky.

Don't like runouts. No need for tight singles when you're cruising like they were.

 

[Spark]

Fairplay, excellent ball, not the best shot though.

EDIT: hmm, looks like it darted away. retract the second half of the above then.

 

[TumTum]

Played completely down the wrong line imo, thats why he shifted himself to the off-side just as he missed it.

That was my initial reaction too, but without proper replays it's hard to say

 

[Neil Pickup]

Can we please stop bowling down the leg side?

Around the wicket, perhaps?

Looked to me like he expected it to come in with the angle, and so was trying to play inside the line. But it straightened a touch and he was quite beaten.

 

[Spark]

This is such dire stuff. Can't recall so much legside rubbish being bowled with such frequency in the recent past.

 

[Spark]

Great effort to get the legs out of the way else that would've rebounded onto the stumps

 

[Jacknife]

You can see why Strauss doesn't rate him.

 

[Neil Pickup]

This is doing my nut. It's also making damn sure that we never get LBWs.

Swann time again with the two cack handers in?

 

[Jacknife]

Damn it looks like the players are melting,very humid.

 

[Spark]

starting to look ominous for england
