The final match is set up beautifully in the port city. Ctg pitch mostly favors batting and sometimes spin friendly depending on how they prepare it tbh. Graveyard for fast bowling and banging in stuffs. This time there's a possibility that it's going to help spinners as the words around. Looking forward to the match.

The Buttler for test batsman is starting up again. Seems to be a lot of backing in the press for it.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I can see them being tempted by Hameed opening and Duckett in the middle order but Buttler should only play if Bairstow is out for any reason.

I'd go with

Cook
Hameed
Root
Ballance
Duckett
Stokes
Bairstow
Moeen
Woakes
Rashid
Broad

Gives you 5 bowlers and Root and you also have a ridiculous amount of batting in the side.

Does anyone watching this series still think BD are crap?

They've got such fantastic players. Nasir Hossain just came off the bench for the first game of this season and Shaiful wasn't even in the squad for Afgh. And Mortaza is so good and so underrated in ODIs.

Proper team these guys when they get their act together.

Nasser Hussein retired in 2004 didn't he?

Congrats to Bangladesh for the win and keeping the series alive. They are a decent team at home and Hathu has brought them on, not in talent as they always had that but in confidence. They still need to learn to manage their emotions and just get over the line rather than trying to blast themselves to a win.. Have been impressed with the little I have seen of duckett. Certainly looks promising for the future..

Shakib is god, the rest are clods. Maybe Tameme too but I want to punch him in his ****ing goddamn face

Although I'll say this, beating a minnow in this fashion does show they are truly a world player. But at the end of the day, you'd take more pride in a victory over the Zimbos than England.

Funny, because that's what I think about England. Debatable on "Good team" tho.

Pretty embarrassing losing a game at home to a team who aren't even good and missing some of their best players, imagine if this team actually beat the great Bangladesh on Wednesday? No that's impossible Bangladesh will crush them wont they.

Things are crook mate, but they haven't got so bad that I have to watch a Bangladesh home series.

Entirely not my point.

If the BD players are behaving poorly, they will be punished. Their bad behavior does not justify an England player's bad behavior, and vice versa. Two wrongs don't make a right. You can't say 'But he started it!' and expect that to be a valid response.

Does this apply to when you and OS attack Weldone with that excuse? :laugh:

Excellent effort to defend 238. Didn't think the bowling had it in them. Masrafe of all people on life support taking wickets :-O

He's right about this mate. There are a lot of people on this forum who would fall in that category and have over a few thousand posts, no warnings or infractions or bans whatsoever.

You are mixing up genuinely being a dick with messing around.

I'm not genuinely being a dick when I call guys like OS, Shri and Daemon ****s. That's just having fun. We've had many great discussions over the years we've been on this site, we understand each others opinions and stances well, and when there are serious discussions we've been respectful and open minded and have had good times.

A lot of the members who have been here a long time are much the same; whats more is many of them know each other IRL or through other forums like Cricsim and such.

But then you have the Tec15s and Weldones of the world...
