**Official** England in Bangladesh 2016

[Starfighter]

Did anyone other than Bairstow appeal?

Stokes just stood around with a confused look on his face.

 

[fredfertang]

Credit where credit's due - Bairstow's appeals are as good as his old man's, and Bluey was one of the very best

Just got home from work.........da **** is going on here???

Can't get him out so break his ribs instead.

Looks a painful one.

We have bowled numerous pies and Tamim has batted very well.

 

[Zinzan]

You know Tamim is only 27, he may well become a truly great batsman.

Unlikely, depending on what your definition of truly great is.

 

[Starfighter]

It does baffle me how England can ignore someone with Leach's figures, but we've been ignoring O'Keefe for years, so it's not unprecedented.

Got what we've deserved here by resting players. Only watched a handful of overs but it does look a much better pitch for batting on. First innings runs absolutely vital.

 

[Daemon]

Switched back and forth so I may have got the wrong impression but - Did Stokes just do a Dhawan and imitate that hit to the ribs?

god Stokes is a prick

Well he was born in Christchurch... why, what happened?

Who's been rested? Broad?

shot mominul

 

[fredfertang]

I don't like Stuart Broad very much, but this has made me appreciate more what a good bowler he is

 

[91Jmay]

Who's been rested? Broad?

Broad rested, they wanted to look at Ansari as well so they rotated Batty.

That's charitable of you to replace the 'ch' with a 'j'.

When Bangladesh win this, will there be an asterix next to it given the quality of the England XI?

You mean like their win against the Windies?

You could wipe out the Waugh twins' entire careers by doing that
