**Official** England in Bangladesh 2016

Frig me

Man what an off-spinner he is! Already a fan...2nd best off-spinner in the world now?

averaging 5 now...so good

 

[Cabinet96]

Hadn't really thought about the fact we have five lefties in the top seven.

 

[Prince EWS]

Not sure about how he played that, but what a delivery.

I don't think there's that much shame in getting out to that but he that fact that he was comprehensively bowled rather than lbw is a serious concern IMO. If he thought it was going straight on he should have at least covered his stumps with his back pad and looked to play it straight instead of trying to defend from leg to cover; he gave himself no margin for misjudgement whatsoever.

Beauty.

What a gem of a player BD have unearthed here. Taskin, Soumya, Fizzy, Moses and now Miraz. Loving this.

 

[Cabinet96]

Oh dear.

[cnerd123]

lmao

 

[Athlai]

Oh goody.

 

[Starfighter]

Now that's genuine rubbish from Cook.

 

[cnerd123]

So glad we have three spinners.

Should have picked Moses over Kamrul too IMO. And maybe Nasir over Shaiful. Who needs a pace attack.

 

[morgieb]

For some reason I didn't realise Kamrul's FC bowling average of 40 was over 48 FC games. Geez.

In fairness a lot of recent Bangladeshi's tend to have really high bowling averages.

Fizzy's average looks outstanding by recent Bangladesh standards.

 

[weldone]

Record-breaking Alastair Cook will demonstrate his mastery against spin over the next 7 tests, lol.

 

[Cabinet96]

Pad first IMO.

 

[vcs]

Good job Bangladesh, hope they can bundle England out cheaply here.

Root's wicket the key.

Ooh, 3 down now. Ballance has got to be in trouble now. Another of those India-bashing specialists by the look of it.

 

[Prince EWS]

Oh I know who Mehedi is now! He's the Miraz who was awesome captaining the Under 19 team last season. "Mehedi Hasan" on cricinfo really threw me from that.

Everything makes so much sense now. I'm finally with the program, guys.

 

[mr_mister]

he strikes when he wants, he strikes when he waaaants, this new bangi bowler, he strikes when he wants

 

[Starfighter]

England not picking them at all here. Too much going back or prodding. Could be a long tour if this keeps up.

 

[cnerd123]

The stream's been taken off youtube. I can't believe I'm not seeing this. Why do I have a job.

 

[mr_mister]

england are such minnows smh
