33rd Match - England v Bangladesh (9th March)

[Contra]

Anderson finally gets a wicket lol.

Not sure selecting Kayes who apparently just got called in because of an injury is the best idea?

 

[Zinzan]

From a NZ perspective (and other fans from Pool A) I feel England would more likely push India in a quarterfinal than Bangers would, so in that respect I don't mind them getting up.

 

[Cabinet96]

lol at Anderson's fastest and slowest ball only having a 0.5kph difference. Insane consistency.

 

[Contra]

was that put down?

 

[Riggins]

I think if there's rain about bowling first actually makes sense. The way ODI's go these days teams just coast along and then detonate at the end of the innings. If it rains and you end up not getting the full 50 in the first innings then the way the D/L system works (as far as I understand it, basically the same way it always has) probably impacts the team batting first disproportionately.

 

[Cabinet96]

FFS, that's his best asset as well.

 

[Contra]

that's a terrible shot

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Jeez that's ordinary.

 

[Pratters]

Shades of Bangladesh v Windies from 2011. Vintage stuff from the Tigers.

 

[Adders]

Talk Nah Jimmy haters........

 

[Zinzan]

Jimmy again..lovely bowling that.

Jeeze, Indian fans will really be hoping Bangers get up won't they? Especially if Jimmy is finding his rhythm and swing.

 

[Cabinet96]

Isn't a better bowler against left handers when it's swinging.

 

[Niall]

that's a terrible shot

he got runs against Scotland, did you expect him to fire 2 games in a row?

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Awesome spell this Jimmy

Not sure what that has to do with the kind of shot he played? Just stuck his bat out there like Shikhar Dhawan would.

 

[Zinzan]

Lol @ Bumble getting all excited at Jimmy registering one delivery at 140 kms

It's what happens when your quickest bowler on the guns has a rep of not being quick enough for international cricket.

Though pace has never actually been an issue for Jimmy, he can always crank it up.

 

[Zinzan]

I swear Jimmy's face wasn't nearly that punchable 6-7 years ago.

Yeah true, it was a poor effort, but as a Tamim fanboy for a long time, I have came to the sad realisation that consistency isn't his thing, always likely to go for a low score after playing so well against the Scots.
