**Official** England in Bangladesh 2016

[Daemon]

I love the sweep. It's a shame more people haven't mastered it, imo possibly out of fear, a lack of practice and easier alternatives in less tricky conditions. It's such a handy shot to have.

Ducketts going to get out sweeping and look like a colossal ****.

Duckett looks terrified

I thought that too but it's just how his face looks, permanently.

 

[Shady Slim]

really not a fan of ben duckett's face, i'm such a terrible person but the middle of his face looks too clogged whereas there's a lot of unused space on the rest of it

chris woakes with his hair up though, contender for that best looking cricketer thread i'll start up again in like a week or so

Terrible leave

Ducketts going to get out sweeping and look like a colossal ****.

Rather he was playing attacking shots than the glance down the legside he got out to in the first innings.

 

[harsh.ag]

Duckett's gonna hack a 20 looking absolute ****e. Don't drop catches, ****s!

This is part of the problem imo. The fear of everyone telling you what a dumb **** you are when you get out sweeping is what holds a lot of people from playing/practicing it.

Dammit Bangladesh don't do this.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Not really a chance that, bit like the Finn chance where it will stick by luck or be downed.

There was no need for a bowling change here.

There was no need for a bowling change here.

2 offspinners against the 2 left handers I guess. Takes the reverse sweep out of the game for Duckett.

There was no need for a bowling change here.

not that one anyway - Mushy getting increasingly desperate

 

[OverratedSanity]

Is mushfiqur panicking already?

 

[Howe_zat]

This is a non-horrendous start

maybe it could even be a good start, if we dare to dream

 

[DriveClub]

I feel like England's gonna win comfortably by 6 wickets

 

[honestbharani]

Think England will walk this. Mainly because of how bad the BD captain is and how much panic he is showing already. Also, BD are pretty bad at catching, aren't they?

 

[Howe_zat]

Duckett just jumped over the pitch on to the leg side while taking a single - I'm sure the right handers will thank him for that

How about just staying off the pitch entirely mate

 

[DriveClub]

All because mushy is a ****** captain

Good shot that..
