Yea this is comfortably his best innings in years. He's usually good for a quick 20-30 cameo, and the odd 50...today's been the first time in a long while he's batted long and batted deep. Fantastic to see.I kinda thought it was common consensus that he couldn't bat anymore so this is good to see
Bit of a worry that every bowler has been average to poor.Yeah can't really be disappointed about losing this. Bangladesh just batted really well and deserved it.
Imrul Kayes bitchWhat happened
It's fine, worst comes to the worst and Shafiul's here to inexplicably hit a match-winning cameo when we look like we might be back in the game.Sigh.
Lollapse time,
'twas a good knock from Shakib. Time to come crashing back to reality.
Apart from Shakib getting out when the RRR became too steep (got out when it became manageable actually), I think I've got this basically spot on.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
I blame HoweI blame this loss on ***** even though predictable
You also mentioned they'd get all out for 250Apart from Shakib getting out when the RRR became too steep (got out when it became manageable actually), I think I've got this basically spot on.
Mortaza to slog/hack his way to a few and get out, the tail will struggle, Kayes will hole out in desperation, and England will win comfortably in a dead silent crowd.
