**Official** England in Bangladesh 2016

[cnerd123]

I kind of don't mind it, just because it's Bangladesh. They're unlikely to calmly milk the bowlers to victory regardless of the field and the bowling just because they're Bangladesh. Delaying the result works in England's favour.

I hate how even the robot PEWS has this image of Bangladesh hardwired into his data crunching computer brain when calculates all the possible permutations and outcomes for the scenario.

Bangladesh calming milking runs till victory? But that's not possible! It does not compute

I hate it because he's exactly right too.

Bangladesh are favourites now.

(Not gambhiring, they literally are. 1.8)

Sabbir has the measure of Rashid - need a bit of Moeen

As a maiden Bangladesh victory over England shifts from a possibility to a probability, I can't help but wonder why not a few more of the millions of Chittagonians show up!

They have been hurt too much already

We all have

This is not going to happen.

doesn't Soumar Sarkar bowl handy mediums if they want a seam bowler so bad - he can be the Bangi Shane Watson/Andy Flintoff

He's in pretty dire form with the bat recently tho, and for some reason they seem reluctant to bowl him when he does play (like Mahmadullah).

Put your money on England. Easy profit.

only 'cos the producer has told him to be

But they are going to run out of time tonight. Can't see the light holding and England need a quick to be bowling as at least they can hold up an end.

So, got another day left. All the time in the world.

 

[cnerd123]

Bowling's been good from England so far.

man this is tense

Miraz is known to play gutsy innings coming late in the order sometimes and rescuing team. Can he transform this to International cricket?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Looked like just pad to me

In an ideal scenario he won't be required to bat

But I sure hope so anyways

So scared now. This is so tense.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

That was the chance, he's done so well up to now too. That will haunt us I reckon.

 

[Raffski]

Not a great time for Bairstow's obligatory drop

 

[OverratedSanity]

Oh **** wait snicko shows an edge. Huge moment. Poor Bairstow.

 

[Spikey]

I've always found "it's never easy down the leg side" fascinating. for spinners, yep totally agree, but i'm not sure it's the case with seamers

Not even close. He bowls 120 kph loops

 

[OverratedSanity]

"He's bowling consistently well"

wot.

Wonder if the new ball will come into play. If BD needs 30 odd tomorrow with say three wickets in hand, a new ball spell by a fresh Broad in the morning may be enough to finish them off. OTOH it could go for a few runs if the batsmen ride their luck.
