**Official** England in Bangladesh 2016

[OverratedSanity]

Bangladesh are getting better though.. they need to find a way to win one Test match in these conditions against a non-minnow and I get a feeling the monkey will be off their back and they'll rack up a few more.

They haven't won a single one yet right? It'll be huge if they manage to pull it off here.

If England count as non minnows of course.

Still think England's hax lower order will get them to a 200 lead.

Their only Test wins have come against either post-strike Zimbabwe or the West Indies 3rd XI. So yes they haven't beaten genuine Test opposition.

It'll happen at some point but probably not here. Even if they manage to bundle England out for a <200 chase, I can't see them pulling it off.

I thought they'd beaten Pakistan at some point, but my memory may be playing tricks on me.


EDIT
Just seen Morgieb's post. fair enough.

Nope. They came within a wicket of winning but that **** inzamam won Pakistan the game.

200 is a heck of a long way off at present. 140 looks likelier right now.

And even then, their spinners are better than ours.

That must be the one I was thinking of. Makes my previous post look better.

Remember when Stokes and Bairstow put on that 399 partnership in SA?

Looking at the side now a win isn't far away. They might not manage it in this game but if they were to play a few series at home in the next year or so they would beat somebody who isn't WI or Zim. The offspinner is a huge boost for them and the lad is only 18.

Yeah, I can't help but think that they'll beat us if/when we visit there next.

Ok this is getting interesting now

Both the English posters and the non-English ones are desperately Gambhiring here.

****s sake

 

[DriveClub]

Bd need 2 more wickets here to have a chase able target

 

[Athlai]

If England can get another 90 runs this will probably go down to the wire.

Stokes looks like a computer generated regen from a Football Manager game. His eyebrows are also missing, just like his soul.

I'm not. They have improved and eventually will beat someone. Anyone who thinks differently is deluded. Just hope it isn't us but if they do win it is on merit.

So pitch or bowling or England or what?
