They're a bunch of kids -- and that's what you get with such young players.

I'd hoped for a good tight match...but I'll gladly take the England win and huge NRR boost!

If only England could carry this patch around instead of playing on the slow rubbish.
TBH the chances of this wicket troubling the likes of Australia (other than Michael Clarke), South Africa (AB, Smith, Gibbs would be in their element) and New Zealand (even possibly Sri Lanka) are next to nil. All this wicket has indicated is that Bangladesh are awful on wickets that hold pace and consistent (but not alarming) bounce, if you can pull and cut correctly then there is nothing stopping you from making hay.

Andrew Strauss should love this wicket and so would the majority of the world's best players, its no seaming around and the swing is marginal.

All I meant was that England play far better on these proper cricket wickets instead of the slow rubbish.

Saqibul Hasan.. seems such a promising talent.. :cool: Have loved watching him bat.. exciting and seems pretty gifted as well.
Gifted at hitting short and wide longhops...The delivery Flintoff actually pitched on a good length his feet were stuck in treacle.

Maybe because he is very inexperienced and has not played on a wicket with this level of bounce much in his career don't you think? His defence is solid and he can play shots off the middle of the bat. Obviously his skills are not honed perfectly at this stage of his career. That he has a good technique, particularly a defensive one, for such a pitch with a bit more bounce than what Bangladesh usually encounters is far more important than any attacking shots he plays which gives me hope for the future regarding him.

This barbados pitch is a rubbish pitch for oneday cricket. Too much bounce and swing and pace for a 50 over match. The Guyana and Antigua pitches were good sporting ones which helped the seamers in the morning and getting batting friendly as the match progresses and aiding the spinners in the end.

It must be painful being pounded by England 8-)

Any excuse must, and will be used:ph34r:

Well done Monty, that partnership was getting annoying. They were milking the lesser bowlers well.:)
