**Official** England in Bangladesh 2016

[91Jmay]

Bangladesh going really well here. No more wickets before lunch and they are in box seat with softer ball.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Well we scoffed when their bloke on comms said they would be confident chasing 250, looks like he was right. Doing well so far. Can quickly change though.

 

[Prince EWS]

His first century was on his comeback

Yeah he became a better batsman while out of international cricket.

A rare (solitary?) win for the Bangladesh First Class and List A competitions. Good signs really.

 

[91Jmay]

Urgh, surprised by Mo's lack of initial appeal. Once it was pad first, had to be out.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Must have thought it was missing leg stump. Could be a huge error.

 

[91Jmay]

Yeah, was because we lost the first review.

 

[Zinzan]

William Hill odds seem about right, Bang paying $2.62 & England $1.40 & $101 for the draw.

This is what chaffs my balls about the DRS. I hate that the officials' response is to make players challenge decisions but at the same time telling them, "Oh, we are usually only wrong two times every eighty overs, good luck." I would love it if each side had a designated guy watching every call in the dressing room closely, who signals the players on the field to review or to not review. And the whole fifteen second rule can go suck a big lemon.

I actually think England are really good value there. Daemon was right IMO.

Might as well remove on field umpires then though and just have 3rd umpire do it all.

 

[91Jmay]

As well as Kayes has played getting caught on the boundary would have been amazingly stupid

That might not to be very far away considering the way that tech is progressing atm. AI umpires in a hundred years would be so cool.

 

[91Jmay]

These 'tactics' are an embarrassment, but this is great from BD. Favourites for me at the moment.

 

[Daemon]

What happens if Anderson is fit for the next test btw? If Batty gets dropped it's probably for yet another AR in Ansari rather than Anderson isn't it?

Might the best seamer in Asia in the last decade actually not make the XI?

 

[vcs]

This is ****ing great batting by Kayes.

 

[91Jmay]

Anderson is out of first India test. Not even sure he is on tour.

 

[91Jmay]

Well we needed that. Needed Kayes before lunch, Rash on at a right hander now as well.

 

[Daemon]

Cook's not been good here. Didn't have a short leg for so long earlier and is being way too reactionary.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Needed that. Good for Rashid to get an early wicket.
