**Official** England in Bangladesh 2016

[Daemon]

Doola!!

Bangladesh are raising a leg and marking their territory all over this game and the spinners. So good.

 

[Compton]

Why is Batty not playing the game?

Probably his batting average, given that seems to be the only relevant criteria in England selecting spin bowlers.

 

[DriveClub]

England bat till no 10, they should have picked plunkett instead of finn so they could bat all the way

 

[weldone]

Tamim walked the talk after Bhimrul disappointed.

 

[Shri]

Banger run rate over 4 an over after 44 overs. That might be important if the pitch starts turning soonish.

 

[weldone]

Haha it's so good to see England supporters already starting to moan about selection.

We moaned about it yesterday when it was announced so hardly news is it.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Nice one Mo. A couple more before tea and we will be back in it.

Dragging this back a bit here. Moeen as below average as he is, clearly better than the rest of the 'spinners'.

Yesterday it was in the 'these are bad changes but let's see' range but now it is all about 'bangla can't play cricket, we ****ed ourselves through selection'.

Helps that he is bowling so much better than he did for most of the summer.

 

[Pothas]

Good chance here with Stokes at the other end.

Conditions are so different though it's kind of hard to compare, Moeen would be such a good asset if we just had Swann or even Monty to be the lead spinner.

 

[91Jmay]

Yeah Moeen would be a really solid 2nd spinner with a proper spinner, as long as he bats top 6.

Wish Leach was on tour.

Yeah India will like Kapil being our lead seamer too.

If BD does not score 501 in the position we were in, I'll break a glass

Conditions are different but he bowled pies for most of the summer. We have what we have, Leach should be there but they decided to go for another bits and pieces player in Zafar Ansari instead. Doubt he would be anywhere near a Swann or Monty level anyway.

Or they could have just not rested Broad. He can bat a bit too.

 

[weldone]

Next 30-40 overs will be key. Run-scoring will be easier when the 2nd new ball comes.

You really are an atrocious poster.......neither parts of that comment are remotely true.
