International Captain
You mean he is a bot? Would pass the turing test if so.I don't think he really does.

Man it'd be so great if England's hubris was punished and they lost. ffs do this Banglas
Suck it ****......****ing Hubris indeed.
Jono the catalyst for this. Amazing scenes.
At least you got Tamim out boys.Lol, your team selection is arrogant. Getting Tamim out doesn't change that Adders. Hard to argue.
Its already selected I think. Its Kolkata, Eden Gardens iirc.I'm kinda curious what the Venue is going to be for the Bangladesh/India Test. Especially if Mustafziur is back
Mehdi was great but Tamim should have been MOTM and MOTS.
Haha yes if Fizzy-Miraz-Shakib play together then that will be India's toughest home test in the last couple of years.I'm kinda curious what the Venue is going to be for the Bangladesh/India Test. Especially if Mustafziur is back
The whole innings lasted 15 overs so take a wild guess champ10 wickets in a session - don't remember when I saw that the last time
Did the Stuart Broad destruction job during last Ashes happen within a session?
There are actually a few decent WK prospects in Bangladesh. Nurul Hasan, who was in the squad is probably the best with the gloves and has a first class batting average over 40. Then there is Liton Das, who was injured for this series; he has played in 3 Tests and looked good with the gloves and bat. Best of the lot could be U19 player Zakir Hasan, looks very promising and lots of potential. Any of these options would be an improvement over Mushy.As discussed if they had a decent keeper they could move Mushy to 4. Or alternatively given how well the under 19's have done do they have any prospects who could come in?
Over to AZH as Pews will get them in a muddle.
did he open in the ODIs? I really can't remember.Duckett should be the least of England's worries. He has shown he's good enough opening in spinning conditions and not based on this innings only, he played well in ODIs too.
You can tell it from Mushy that it's taking a hard toll on him by doing the WK job and captaincy at the same time and also a lot of expectation from him as batsman too. I would give him a pass mark in this series overall. Always have been advocating about him giving up gloves and captaincy and play as a batsman only in tests. I've started to sway away from that and thinking that If he gives up captaincy/WK then the balance of the team shifts. Nurul/Liton has to bat at 7 and then Miraz followed by tail. Shabbir is arguably the better bat than Liton/Nurul and playing him at 7 keeps the tail away from exposing a bit. Miraz is a good batsman but I think he'll take his time to transform his under 19 batting performance to international level. That's also a reason I'm thinking a better bat to play at 7 for now.There are actually a few decent WK prospects in Bangladesh.

In terms of batsmen Mosaddek Hossain Saikat is next in line and Nazmul Hossain Shanto from the last batch of U19 is supposed to be one to watch as he is good against pace and a natural number 3.
For now I would make Mushy give up the gloves (and captaincy) and stick him in at number 3, moving Mominul to 4, Mahmadullah to 5, Shakib 6, with WK being one of Litton or Nurul.
First 11 tests: 1060 runs @ 62.35, people say he's the long-term replacement for TrottBallance can still have a test career just maybe not with England. Got so many issues that it’s hard to see how he can comeback. At least Vince looks the part.
Unless India rest Ashwin for a dead rubber, can’t see how he won’t get 50 wickets in the series. England have too many cack handers.
