**Official** England in Bangladesh 2016

[Gnske]

How short is that third man boundary?

 

[Dan Jamson]

Butler is h4x.

This England ODI side is ridiculous. How have they only won 3 out of their last 5 ODI series? Is their bowling really rubbish?

Ran out of steam in the SA series. Long tour.

 

[91Jmay]

Yeah lost to Aus with Starc 3-2 and SA in SA 3-2 after a long tour and having many opportunities to win series. Bowling is not great, but it isn't terrible.

Poor last over, but overall really good innings in tough conditions. Stokes was due that innings, but it is a big one. Duckett looked good on debut, Roy has that license regardless of the surface. Jos is one of the premier white ball talents on the planet.

Our pace bowlers should get some joy here, was up and down bounce early on.

The way butler changed gear was something

Well, in domestic cricket Rashid takes shedloads. Kerrigan only got one match, but seems to be going backward. Leach has had one good season so hard to say he's been hard done by yet. Rayner maybe unlucky, but you can't really say we're keeping out many outstanding candidates in County cricket, in either form.

I remember the same crap trotted out a couple of years ago about England's seam bowling. Oh well x does well in County Cricket but is crap at international level. Therefore everyone else is shite.

Doesn't work like that. Also Rashid hasn't been particularly special in FC cricket, despite being backed up by one of the strongest seam attacks:

Anyway well done Stokes, waiting for the ECB to claim ownership of him as collateral against their scumbag shafting of Durham which gets worse with every bit of information that comes out.

 

[Gnske]

Hopefully they don't stop short of setting Chester Lee Street ablaze and salting the ash layered earth.

Hopefully they don't stop short of setting Chester Lee Street ablaze and salting the ash layered earth.

Agreed. They can also burn down castle college at Durham Uni. Full of bellends to a man.

He's centrally contracted so the ECB do own him.

how long it will take for kayes to nick one

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

that six by kayes is victory for bd today

 

[91Jmay]

Woakes bowled pretty well there and goes for 11

 

[cnerd123]

C'mon Kayes, you've already smashed these hacks for a 100. Just do it again.

 

[91Jmay]

Good start to chase, BD got rate well in hand and you'd expect them to play spinners ok. Need a wicket.

 

[cnerd123]

This is typical BD don't worry.

They came out to bat expecting to lose, pressure free

Now they have a good start

Now suddenly they will believe they can mount a serious chase

Then they will panick

Then they will lose wickets in a bunch

Shakib will probably come in and play a really good innings to give the fans some hope

But then he will get out when the RRR becomes too steep

The lower order will fold cheaply

BD will fall a good 40-50 runs short of the target, lose the game, but everyone will praise them for their 'fight' and talk about how England were too good on the night

 

[91Jmay]

Sounds good to me.

Woakes is bowling really well here. Superb set of 5.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

That will do. Shocking shot.

 

[cnerd123]

Good ball from Ball tbf

Saw what Tamim was trying to do. Gave him the short ball with some pace off it. Tamim mistimes the pull.

 

[91Jmay]

Pretty ugly innings from Tamim. Needed that strike though, not a bad start from Ball.
