*Official* England in Bangladesh

[GIMH]

Did not see ze incident but will comment anyway

Perhaps it was a response to all the flak he's had for celebrating his wickets without appealing. A bit petulant, but.

 

[Jono]

Good to know Broad is still a dick.

 

[King Pietersen]

I don't think it was a response to the previous decision. I've seen many bowlers appeal when the batsman has been bowled like that, off his pads. Think people are over-analysing Broad's actions tbh, if it was anyone else it wouldn't have been mentioned.

 

[Sir Alex]

Having seen another replay now, did you mean when he bowled Mushfiqur?

Was having a pop at the umpire for the previous NO decision, IMHO. Silly boy with his recent rap sheet.

Yes, he is going the sreesanth way am afraid.

Yep and this is going to negate all those and bring back to the golden mean.

Can back it up with the ball a bit more than Sree though.

On first view that was my reaction, but subsequent views confirmed either Broad was acting like what he is or need some urgent attention to his eyes/ears.

Averages 36 vs Sree's 31

Also has been largely ineffective in this tour.

DWTA tbh. Would definitely take Sree ahead of him as a bowler.

 

[Uppercut]

DWTPEWS. It's hard to say who's the technically better player, Sreesanth is a bit more spewy but Broad's more likely to be ineffective. But Broad bowls big spells when the team needs them, whereas Sreesanth loses his head under pressure.

Not sure if this is what really happened, but I've done it myself last summer. Batsman got squared up in a rather silly way (happens all the time at my own crap level ), I saw the ball heading for his pads, dead plumb, but while I began to appeal, the batsman managed to allow the ball to pass through his legs/pads onto the stumps.


About Broad in general: What Uppercut said. I like the idea of an ordinary/decent bowler that delivers great spells when it matters most.

 

[cowboysfan]

it must be really frustrating to be a bangladeshi cricket fan,this so near yet so far thing is getting old.they somehow manage to lose the plot when it really matters and thats a real shame.

 

[NasserFan207]

Add me to the people who think that Broad is just being overanalysed at this point.

I've never been a fan of his bowling though, still not sure how he gets wickets.

Hmmm, I look at when Sree is going crazy and when Broad is. It's interesting. Sree goes crazy when the going gets tough. Broad just gets pissed off cos he's a spoilt brat.

I think there's a big difference.

With regards to the bowling, they're both up and down. Broad's won more matches with the ball though.

Shafiul

 

[Pothas]

Excellent start today from Bangladesh, have been very positive and a good 50 from Shakib, England look pretty poor at the moment seem lacking in any intent. Lead up to 150 now, new ball going to be crucial here.

 

[Pothas]

There is the breakthrough but decent job done by Shafiul, hope Bangladesh can put on an extra 60 or 70, would set up a good chase.

 

[Teja.]

What a fighter Shakib-al-Hasan is, leads by example.

 

[Jayzamann]

What would Shakib have to do in this innings to get MOTM? Be there at stumps? Declare?

Score a ton and go on till B'desh are bowled out, then go take a few wickets I guess.
