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

[Zinzan]

Ahh huge that.

 

[Flem274*]

who won the toss? giving bangladesh the chance to bowl ten million spinners at you during a chase is a big risk.

ooh that's a big big blow.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Jordan has one of the funniest runups I've ever seen.

Or worst depending if he is in your team or not.

 

[Zinzan]

who won the toss?

Eng

 

[cnerd123]

Awww ffs Shakib wtf was that.

Seriously.

Could you seriously for once just score runs when we really need them.

 

[Pratters]

Moeen showing the pretender who the best spin bowling all-rounder in the world is.

Have loved Moeen bowl from when I have seen him. Has been bowling a bit short today but that was right on the spot.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

collapse incoming

 

[Prince EWS]

Shakib looked like he was going to get out like out every single delivery he faced from Moeen. Had no idea.

 

[morgieb]

Are they? I've always thought they backed themselves much more in a chase.

You probably know England better than me, but in the past England odi strategy was to have some guy bat the whole innings, fireworks at the end, and defend a total through their bowling. Though granted that plan isn't as relevant these days....

 

[Pothas]

Hero.

Awww ffs Shakib wtf was that.

He did in the last game when Bangladesh needed it..

More likely to skid under the lights though surely.

 

[Cabinet96]

If that ball had hit the stumps it would've been classic Jordan jam.

 

[Jono]

Shortest memory of all time.

 

[Contra]

Awww ffs Shakib wtf was that.

He's been scoring runs all tournament tbf, and they definitely needed his runs last game. But yeah terrible shot, no feet movement at all.

Shakib looked like he was going to get out like out every single delivery he faced from Moeen. Had no idea.

Didn't look much use against Jordan either.

 

[Zinzan]

England are going to win today and then upset India in the quarter....I'm yelling yas.

 

[cnerd123]

He did in the last game when Bangladesh needed it..

Needed it more here. Legit KO game this and it was a tricky situation. Such a loose shot. Zzzzz.

Yeah, but it was also to use a test attack of five bowlers that restricted oppositions to always par, or sub par scores, and then have reliable batsman who'd chase it down 90% of the time.

Though it probably doesn't matter. Good sides aren't reliant on winning the toss to win them the game in one day games.

 

[Pratters]

Who will the lucky semi finalists be against England? SA??
