**Official** England in Bangladesh 2016

[fredfertang]

I see it's going to be more of that frenetic stuff again today - no surprise I suppose

 

[fredfertang]

We have never had to consider this before, but what happens if Bangladesh draws/wins a test series against a top side? How does it affect the ranking points system?

Especially when we go on and thump India next month

"We"? Aren't you a crim?

"We"? Aren't you a crim?

Good God no, perish the thought!

This is brilliant to watch. C'mon Bangladesh

 

[fredfertang]

Too many byes - I appreciate keeping isn't easy out there, but this shows you need something more than a stopper

Try telling dat to Dobell. His narrative always comes down to "but Bairstow was great behind the stumps" even if it has **** all to do with the actual topic.


On that note, is Buttler easily better than Bairstow as a keeper?

 

[OverratedSanity]

This is superb from Bangladesh. Even a big collapse from here should get them to atleast 250-260 which will be a difficult chase.

 

[vcs]

They're taking their chances, and have had their share of luck so far. Hope they can keep it going. They'll need 300 to start feeling a bit safe.

 

[fredfertang]

The next 20 minutes will decide this match

Nah; he's better but it's pretty marginal.

I notice Buttler a lot less than Bairstow, so in that way he's better. Not sure about "easily better" though.

Shakib is a pretty dumb batsman

 

[OverratedSanity]

Shakib wtf are you doing. Almost a repeat of the last test.

Of all the things these two have done for BD cricket over their careers, a match winning performance here will be the highlight of their careers.

There is no point in being amongst Bangladesh greatest cricketers ever if you cant pull off a great performance here

 

[fredfertang]

Oh dear
