*Official* Bangladesh in West Indies

[Uppercut]

Reckon Bangers could give a full strength WI a run for their money when they play at home.

The pitches are much the same in the Caribbean these days itbt. It's a real shame they've been robbed of the chance to find out if they can.

Think they crack up a bit better for the spinners TBH. Shakib and his spinning crew are deadly at home.

 

[Uppercut]

I'd say "useful". "Deadly" to me implies that they've ever won a match.

 

[Athlai]

If it wasn't for Daniel the ****ing Man Vettori they would've.

 

[Uppercut]

If they weren't horrendously unprofessional they would have.

I think you aren't giving credit to the size of Dan's testicles. Bangladesh have come close to winning in a fair few of their last home matches. Just need another seamer and a bit more grit in the batting.

 

[Uppercut]

Okay, okay. Dan's testicles really are ****ing huge.

Tennis balls squeezed into a hacky sack.

Don't worry, at the end of the year, we'll probably send this squad to Australia!

I'll be looking at odds for a Mitchell Johnson double century and more then 15 wickets in the match.

Congratulations to Bangladesh.....but you have to feel sorry for the WI fans who had to put up with several players not yet up to test standard. Hopefully, the playing roster returns to test strength shortly.

So they should it's the least they can do a series loss to Bangladesh should hopefully give them a wake up call

Is such sarcasm really necessary? It looks a bit childish to me.

Looks like Shakib will be captain for the second Test.

Probably.


Ryan Hinds in and Creary and Braithwaite out.

Wow, awesome opportunity for him really. Reckon the Windies should win now TBH - he's the almost-Test-standard batsman the team needed in the first Test.

 

[Top_Cat]

Stop the series. Please. If I was over there, I'd be urging people to boycott it too. If there was any justice, not one WICB member would continue to be drawing a paycheck for allowing a situation which has been brewing for years to reach this point.

Is Sammy the only player whos relatively there or there abouts in terms of being close to the top XI?

It's hard to say....

While Sammy's a good ODI player, I don't think he's in the second XI for Tests. The same with Bernard.

However, I believe Roach should be above Baker in the pecking order, but just below Rampaul, who is again unfortunate not to make his Test debut.

 

[TT Boy]

The ICC are concerned that the Windies may send a weakened team to the Champions Trophy but don't seem to give two hoots that the integrity of test cricket is currently being underminded. Waste of space.
