*Official* Match 28 - Bangladesh v England

[Jono]

Poor Tredwell, he comes running on with a drink but is told to get off by Daryl Harper. That was Tredwell's World Cup moment snatched away from him

Lol

It's not that unlikely - pitch isn't exactly a highway and more importantly, there's cloud cover.

I know.

Though i was talking about Jamie.

 

[Spark]

Odd. I think Shakib must've missed the fact that the keeper dropped the ball...

Didn't look very out on the lbw for mine either.

 

[pskov]

Trott being given not out on that review exposes a flaw in the UDRS as it stands.

As the rule is currently, a batsman can be 2.4m down the track and the ball given out if 51% of the ball is predicted to hit the stumps, whilst a batsman back in his crease with a distance of say 40cm between impact and stumps can be given not out if 49% of the ball is predicted to hit the wicket even though HawkEye's accuracy in predicting the stumps would be hit is higher in the second instance. It's a problematic inconsistency, but I suppose the ICC recommends the simpler '51% of the ball must be hitting' guideline for clarity.

 

[Spark]

Sigh. People don't seem to get it - the reason it's not out is because the on-field ump didn't give it out in the first place.

I wonder if the batsmen should bother raising the bat if no one claps.

 

[superkingdave]

Fairplay to Morgan, decent effort to come straight in and perform another rescue act. Could do with Trott turning it up now

 

[Jayzamann]

Have to feel for Trott, he needs to score 10,000 ODI runs before he can mysteriously gain all his hair back.

 

[Spark]

Powerplay. 2.3 overs, 1/8.

Superb batting.

 

[salman85]

And there goes Trott.

Lovely.

 

[Spark]

Swann. First ball switch hit for four

 

[salman85]

Gone!!

Some nailbiting going on in the English camp i assume.Bangladesh are fully equiped to chase a target around 230 i think.

 

[Athlai]

C'arn Bangers!

 

[Burgey]

England just want every one of their games to be interesting, don't they?

 

[TT Boy]

One of the very few times Razzak has turned up against a test playing nation. England played him poorly though, credit to Trott for continually scoring runs but its not the 1990s anymore. Great to have Morgan back.

250 should be enough.

 

[superkingdave]

Any other team come close to failing as badly as England do in PP3?

 

[Spark]

Any other team come close to failing as badly as England do in PP3?

They really are very bad at it.

 

[TT Boy]

Even 230 looks a stretch from here. Maybe get Morgan at 6? The rest of these clowns don't know how to finish.

 

[Athlai]

Shakib to have a big day with the bat imo.

 

[Spark]

Knee high full toss. Goes to third man - excellent batting

 

[Jayzamann]

Phwoar. 8 down now.
