**Official** England in Bangladesh 2016

Also, BD are pretty bad at catching, aren't they?

To be fair they were very good in the first innings with the catching and the chance that Duckett gave was only a half chance given how quickly it went.

Early days yet..

Good for them, then. Think in such pitches close-in catching will decide games.

Fair play Duckett. May as well score a few before that magic off break gets you

This Test series has been so much fun.

Well the Bangladesh bats rode their luck so no reason why ours can't.

Shame it only a 2 match series really. Could be a real shame if India wallop us easily. Rather have tight tests like these than one sided mismatches.

This is part of the problem imo. The fear of everyone telling you what a dumb **** you are when you get out sweeping is what holds a lot of people from playing/practicing it.

Yeh. And tbf, although a lot of our players got out sweeping in the 1st match, it must have accounted for a lot of our runs.

Should play another four Tests here and then give Kohli and co a single quick drubbing on the way home

Whenever I watch, England bat well. I was watching for most of the Woakes Rashid partnership and stopped watching a few runs before the 9th wicket fell, now this partnership. Going to stop watching soon..

Just imagine how much the England camp would love it if Duckett and Ballance took them home, winning the series and solving a couple of selection questions in the process.

That would be cruel in the long term as they would get demolished in India

 

[DriveClub]

**** this

 

[indiaholic]

What? They have just scored 50 runs so far..

 

[cnerd123]

BD panicking

Bowlers losing their lengths

Mushy making desperate changes in the bowling and field

Tamim giving long deep talks to Mirage

They really have no ****ing clue how to win a test. The mental block is so huge in this team.

Having been an England support in the 90s I can confirm it is possible
