12th Match - England v Bangladesh

[Groundking]

Shakib leading the case for proper batsmen.

It's a shame the smashers put it out of reach

Edit: ****ing autocorrect

 

[ankitj]

Shakib is achieving greatness in this world cup.

 

[ankitj]

Winning toss and fielding first hasn't paid off most of the time so far, has it? SA lost to BD, Eng to Pak and today BD will get crushed by Eng. Was stupid of them to opt to field knowing the firepower in English line up.

 

[Borges]

Shakib has played very well, even if Bangladesh are not chasing this.

 

[Howe_zat]

This is a mint innings from Shakib. Looks world class

 

[PikeyB]

Early 10.30am starts always make fielding seem more attractive in England (and Wales ) . I'd agree that the Bangers best bet would have been to set a score and try to choke them out . Sophia Gardens is a weird ground as well , it's got more bounce today than I can remember at an International . I've seen them prepare pitches that soaked up most the danger from fast bowling in the past .

 

[Arachnodouche]

Rashid is such a crap bowler.

 

[MW1304]

I mean he's really not. But we're kinda ****ed in the tournament if he can't get his form of the last four years back.

 

[OverratedSanity]

What a legend Shakib is. Hope he gets his ton.

 

[Howe_zat]

Alright I'm worried.

Look at his release. I've been observing the guy in Tests and ODIs since the last English summer and it always leaves his hand scrambled. Not as variation either. What manner of spinner is that?

 

[cnerd123]

Good start

On track to chase this down comfortably

 

[Arachnodouche]

Shakib should settle for a measured 175 from here on out.

Oh no, the ball comes out scrambled. That must add ten runs to his average.

He's been taking wickets against everyone for years, bloke can clearly bowl when in rhythm.

 

[Groundking]

Awesome from Shakib, top knock.

 

[Bijed]

That's a really good innings, Shakib has been really impressive so far in this tournament

 

[MW1304]

Shakib is a ****ing beast.

 

[Howe_zat]

Last 5 overs 17/0. I'm not worried.

 

[MW1304]

Maiden from Stokes in the 38th over.

I think they're having a net. It's kinda ******.

Edit: oh. maybe not...
