First Test is at Lord's, they'll probably play 2 spinners there - but he might come in for the second Test at Chester-le-Street in Durham, think that's usually a good wicket for seamers.chaminda_00 said:Hmm i'm not sure if he will get a game, looking at the form of Murali, Giles and Warne so far in county cricket it looks like the pitches are taking spin, so they may two spinners. But if they play three quicks then he will be in for sure.
Yea any seam bowler no matter what pace they bowl will get something out of Durham's pitch, if you do bowl crap however you'll concede runs at a very high rate.Samuel_Vimes said:First Test is at Lord's, they'll probably play 2 spinners there - but he might come in for the second Test at Chester-le-Street in Durham, think that's usually a good wicket for seamers.
For all the good it will do them, which isn't a lot. The pitches at Lord's so far this year appear to have been laid by road-builders. Just about every top-order batsman who hasn't got a ton has given his wicket away.Samuel_Vimes said:First Test is at Lord's, they'll probably play 2 spinners there
Shush. They might play eleven batsmen and go for a draw.badgerhair said:For all the good it will do them, which isn't a lot. The pitches at Lord's so far this year appear to have been laid by road-builders. Just about every top-order batsman who hasn't got a ton has given his wicket away.

No, they have two: Habitual Basher and Mohammed Ashtrayful. I'm not convinced that Javed Omer is a Test-class batsman, even though he did better against a student side than Worcestershire did.Jamee999 said:They have one Test-class batsman?
well in that case Bangladesh should be preapring for the worstScaly piscine said:Yea any seam bowler no matter what pace they bowl will get something out of Durham's pitch, if you do bowl crap however you'll concede runs at a very high rate.
pleaseeeeee. they game will be all done & dusted by lunch on day 2FaaipDeOiad said:I wouldn't be too surprised to see Bangladesh make a game of it at Lords. I think they will get mauled in the second test, but on a flat wicket playing a couple of spinners they could hopefully make a reasonable match of it. I certainly think they've improved a noticable amount under Whatmore and Bashar.
Look, I know the England batsmen are in pretty poor form, but there's no need to be that pessimistic about them.aussie said:pleaseeeeee. they game will be all done & dusted by lunch on day 2

hold up, i was being sacastic when i made this statement first of all, and who are you to tell me s*** that i dont know s*** about cricketcrickmate said:hmm. when Bangladesh went to play test series with Australia two years ago. Many people like you were bragging to finish the test within one day. Sorry, I made a mistake. Not only people like you who only talks in forum and have no actual idea about cricket, there are some test players of Australia , like David Hook, made similar comments to wrap up the test within a day. Eventually Bangladesh scored 298 on first innings and eventually Australia had to wait until day 4 to have that win. And David Hook had to aplogize for his silly comment.
So don't boast. Boasting destroys.
let it go, be the bigger man and do the right thingaussie said:hold up, i was being sacastic when i made this statement first of all, and who are you to tell me s*** that i dont know s*** about cricket
Too right. I doubt, however, that the England hierarchy are daft enough to take Bangladesh anything other than completely seriously, with the result that England will perform to a sufficient level to prevent any significant worry.crickmate said:hmm. when Bangladesh went to play test series with Australia two years ago.

And yet you never seem to offer any ways on how they can improve.Langeveldt said:What test cricket are you talking about? I hope England absolutely disgrace Bangladesh.. Show them how they don't belong in test cricket, and send them back to Bangladesh totally battered and jaded..
Not that it's the players fault or anything, but I cant help but feel the ICC have just turned them into sacrificial lambs..
I wouldn't be too sure about that. Graveney gave a pretty strong signal that Pietersen would have been picked if Thorpe wasn't fit. (I assume you're talking about KP rather than Ed Joyce, who doesn't actually qualify until July 1.)marc71178 said:I'm just glad the selectors saw sense and weren't taken in by the hype over a certain newly qualified person.
