12th Match - England v Bangladesh

[Howe_zat]

They've missed a trick not changing the bowlers after 5 overs. Should've made them start again.

 

[91Jmay]

Shakib bowled about 4 bouncers in that over.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

And like Howezat said the song didn't exist

 

[Tec15]

Masrafee already wasting the early overs by bowling himself. Cant wait to see him hold back Mustafizur until the 20th over and fail to bowl him out. Again.

At the risk of derailing the thread, no, not remotely. Also, 'God save the King' wasn't a thing until the mid 18th century

Edit: here's one of those maps over time videos, if you're interested - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Fmkoq4hB6A

There you go. I was never much one for British history. Rule Britannia I've known better than GSTQ since I heard it in a bunch of British tv shows and in some video games (It featured in Ultima 7).

shaifuddin's a bit of a meme isn't he

If England don't pile up 400 on this wicket they'll feel like they've underperformed.

Not convinced the extra seamer was worth it here.

Bit of swing but think our seamers will get more out of it. 350+ should be the target now we are a batsmen down/

 

[Fuller Pilch]

They're going to get a huge score and kill Bangladesh's NRR

 

[91Jmay]

All run four. You love to see it.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Pretty much jogged the first two as well. Would love to see an all-run 5, like at the MCG back in the old days.

 

[Loose Cannon]

Disappointed I missed this. Wonder if I can find a screenshot.

You really need to see it in motion

 

[Zinzan]

Really ordinary from Bangers, and ragged fielding.

Good skipper or not, at 130kms Mortaza is a waste with the new ball against top sides. Is Rubel injured?

 

[stephen]

The West Indies tactic has a much better chance of being successful in this ground. Don't pitch the ball in the opposition's half and you can't be driven.

Indeed, it was Trumpian the way the tail went with the wind, like a frightened ferret.

Windies don't have a bunch of low 80s dobbers though.

Luv to waste and the new ball and early conditions and only bring in Mustafiz after getting the openers well in. Genius captaincy!

Old school fielding standards probably as much to blame for that sort of thing, hah.

Could maybe see it again at the back end of a test match.

Gorgeous cut from Johnny Red there. Looks in very decent fettle.

Scored one off his first nine balls. Pays to have a wee look at the pitch and how the ball's coming off it sometimes.
