33rd Match - England v Bangladesh (9th March)

[hendrix]

Lovely shot by Mushy, but he so easily could have nicked that behind...

Just a perfect train of thought from the edge-on-the-seat fan.

 

[Pratters]

Moeen just isn't some one you can hit big shots to most of the time. Mixes them up so much.

 

[_Ed_]

That was a fantastic shot.

 

[Cabinet96]

Yea why drop Finn? If anything if you're bringing Jordan it should be for Woakes.. ***** is that selection Finn was the only one getting wickets this WC.

FFS, he only got wickets in half the games he played. One of which was against Scotland and in the Australia game every wicket was after the 38th over, i.e. hardly when wickets change the picture of the game that match or when only certain people can get wickets.

plays his fav shot

 

[viriya]

I love Mushfiqur.. Underrated.

Yea but it's better than what Anderson's been doing lately.. he did well vs India in the tri-series, so if Jordan does well here does that mean Finn won't play vs Ind? Doesn't make sense.

Phlegm how can you hate mushy he's adorable

 

[Pratters]

Mushfiqur has always had good technique. Has cut out his lose shots and flings so much now.

 

[viriya]

The Bangladeshi sides of 5-10 years ago would've been bowled out by now.. Shows their batting depth now even when their best batsman fails.

Yeah and the fact remains that they're a batsmen light, only one more guy to come in after these two.

 

[Pratters]

I don't remember seeing any Bangladesh player play with so much composure like Mahmudullah. He is a solid player. There have been the dynamic brilliant ones like Tamim, the utility man like Shakib but this is some thing more assuring.

this aint a bad performance. need to kick on and get 250 to make it competitive.

 

[Cabinet96]

Moeen showing the pretender who the best spin bowling all-rounder in the world is.

By making Mahmudullah's feats seem more impressive.

 

[Pratters]

England hasn't sledged much it looks. Should try to get under the skin of the batsmen a little at least you would think this being a knock out.

 

[Pratters]

Lots of Bengali songs in the background.

 

[Contra]

well they clearly want that 300, not too much batting to come but this is a good pitch.

Never thought i'd see someone argue England should do more talking. It's the one thing where their standards haven't dropped massively over the last two years.

Personally prefer that they seem to be focusing on their own game rather than what the opposition batsman had for breakfast.

 

[viriya]

Surprising how average Broad has been this WC. Especially in conditions that give natural bounce.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

When Australia won the Ashes 5-0 it was the called the lowest moment in Eng cricket. Likewise when Southee and McCullum humiliated them in Wellington.

What will be said if they lose today?
