No he wasn't, hence the not out. It's not rocket science.age_master said:

Langer's average as an opener is over 50. He's also played a total of two tests against Bangladesh, and two against Zimbabwe, while Trescothick inflates his average against weaker sides. I don't think Tresco is a terrible player or anything, but he's not as good as Langer.Scaly piscine said:

Disagree. There was doubt, he was not out. Same as the Flintoff stumping the other day.age_master said:

nope, because his performances against SA in the recent series is inexplicable, considering how edwards and best had worked him out so very recently. his 180 in SA gave hope though, that maybe he might be capable of playing around that weakness, but no one can argue that the aussies have exposed that very same weakness in the last 2 ODIs. that being said, i'd see how he goes till the end of the ODI series, but theres no reason to believe that he will succeed if mcgrath and co continue to expose his technique like they have been for a very long time now.luckyeddie said:

personally, i'd be surprised if langer had a good ashes series, because i expect hoggard & jones to really cause him problems with the inswinger. langer remember, could barely score a run in the warm up games, the last time he came here.Scaly piscine said:

Although langer does sturggle with the inswinger it is something he has been working o during the off season. Langer will be the 3rd highest run scorer in the series for me.

A Gillespie-like start from Jones - 4 wides off his first 4 balls. Truly an awful start by England so far.

Yeh they have the lowest toss winning percentage out of all the international teams 41.75%.Dydl said:About 60% of the time, Bangladesh lose the toss!!

Bangladesh doing really well so far. Jones did well after his burst of wides, but Gough and Tremlett have taken some stick and Bangladesh are only 1 down. Hopefully they can score 250 odd and make a game of it.

97-3, Flintoff perilously close to a hat-trick. Personally I thought that it was nailed-onshaka said:

Flintoff doing a great job.

Why bowl Collingwood when you have 5 specialist bowlers? Anyone?

Let's say it struck him in front of the outside half of off stumpshaka said:

Short memory? Does the phrase "Greatest-ever single all-time One-Day International performance in history" mean anything to you, or are you just an idiot?FaaipDeOiad said:

Yes... but surely Giles is a better bowler? I was actually asking if the pitch was slow or something by the way, not just deriding Collingwood's abilities with the ball.luckyeddie said:
