Bangladesh v England @ Abu Dhabi Afternoon game 27/10 : Matchday discussion

[Howe_zat]

'England now find themselves in a dominant position', opines Athers.

Would suggest that apart from a 2-over streak about half an hour ago they have pretty much run this one from the start, and if that marks me as a churlish cheerleader I'll cope.

Nasum taking them somewhere towards respectability here. Unusual for Rashid to be so expensive.

 

[BoyBrumby]

17 from Rashid's last.

Banglas gonna have something to bowl at now at least.

 

[Howe_zat]

No, they couldn't have 'done with that intent' earlier because he just walked across his stumps and shovelled it over leg

That's the sort of thing you do in the 19th over and if one of them tried it any earler and missed you'd call him an idiot

This seems very much a "well we still have two reviews left" sort of review.

EDIT: Huh. Not enough of a spike for me, but I've been wrong before. Good enough for the TMO anyway.

Nah, stone dead. Never doubted it for a moment. Erm.

Two reviews does feel a lot for a 20 over stint, especially considering it's a format where most catches are taken in the outfield.

I'll take it. And I'd probably have taken 125 as a target before the innings.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Finished it well, did Tymal.

 

[Aritro]

It was Mahmudullah’s call and he was up and running and suddenly he decided to stop

I meant runs... not that he needed to run

Good bowling performance but Deshis are in with a shout. Left arm up top to our openers = open Malan

 

[theegyptian]

Mills has been good. can't field or bat so has to nail his skills as a bowler and he has so far.


Woakes has 3 catches today and they really were 3 of the simplest catches you are likely to see at international level. I'd back them to be caught at sunday friendly club standard.

 

[Aritro]

He's a bloody good bowler Mills. Surprised to see he's only got 32 First Class and 23 List A matches. Late bloomer?

 

[Pup Clarke]

Livingstone is pretty reasonable with the ball. Very good 6th bowling option

Retired from both very early as his back stops him bowling more than 4

Don't think so. Should be a piece of piss with that short boundary. We needed another 25 to realistically enable a miracle

He's very injury prone and hasn't played anything but the shortest format for years.

What a shame. Smooth as **** bowler. One who's an apt fit for the "Rolls Royce of a fast bowler" description

 

[Aritro]

The lines they're bowling are ****ing terrible.

It would be nice to see a more energetic performance while they're out there. They look like walking zombies at the moment/

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Domingo, Papon, Mahmudullah must go. Worst trio

That one should liven them up a bit.
