1st June - Group A - England v Bangladesh

[Magrat Garlick]

I knew I should have stuck with my poll vote for the three strikes comp.

 

[Black_Warrior]

Tamim has kinda lost his timing now

 

[StephenZA]

If Eng lose this does it count as a choke?

 

[OverratedSanity]

If Rahim wasn't such a bottler he'd be genuinely world class. As it is, still pretty damn good.

 

[Gnske]

Oh dear, if only Rashid was there to bowl some full tosses. England would win this in a flash.

 

[91Jmay]

Big wicket. Tamim with a good knock, although 142 balls at strike rate of 90 puts pressure on finishers to deliver. Still a top knock though.

Feel like Bangladesh missed a trick between overs 35-40. That is best time to start accelerating, the last 10 overs things no longer applies given fielding restrictions relax.

 

[Firebreaker]

Thank God Tamim is gone but really poor bowling from England

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

We will fall short no matter what

 

[Firebreaker]

Yes Yes Yes and a thousand times Yes

 

[91Jmay]

Plunkett proving yet again he is a solid ODI pacer.

 

[Firebreaker]

Hatrick for Plunkett?

 

[91Jmay]

Shessh that was close to the hatty. Great nut first up.

 

[Black_Warrior]

Thank God Tamim is gone but really poor bowling from England

people still think going over 6 an over is poor bowling

 

[Firebreaker]

Ball needs to be dropped

 

[91Jmay]

Thank God Tamim is gone but really poor bowling from England

Some of them have bowled badly, some of them have bowled well. Given the injury + Stokes not being able to complete his set I'm fairly happy with them thus far.

 

[Firebreaker]

You shouldn't bowl short at this point

 

[Firebreaker]

Lol Ball again Bangladesh can now score 320

 

[Black_Warrior]

If Rahim wasn't such a bottler he'd be genuinely world class. As it is, still pretty damn good.

This is so ****ing true.. if England chase this down people will say oh so an so bowled a bad over or Tamim batted slowly but that moment of losing 2 set batsmen in 2 balls would be the moment England got hold of the game

 

[Firebreaker]

Everything Ball is touching is turning into wood

 

[tobe_ornot2]

England can still rein it in at this point. A score of 300-320 shouldn't be good enough for bang.

BTW mushfiqur played the best innings of the match and really upped the rr.

Also another wicket!
