Bangladesh in England

[sohum]

I predict the match will end in the first hour tomorrow. Early morning swing and Harmison, Hoggard, Flintoff and Jones is enough to eliminate the Bangla middle order/tail. I'm interested in seeing the second-test selection. It'll be difficult to pick an FC team for that.

sorry to say but this just isn't test match cricket. not sure if anyone is gaining anything from it?

I agree, I don't think anyone is getting much out of this.

I spose Trescothick and Vaughan increased their batting stats and Flintoff looks almost 100%. Simon Jones has been bowling well but he is not getting many overs, what's the reason for this, does Vaughan not like him?

Ofcourse...England are gaining confidence, and the belief that they too can dominate teams.

I dont understand the way the bangladeshi's have played the last 2 days. The way that have slashed at almost everything has been ridiculous. I say take away their test status, as they are a mockery to test cricket.

I dont blame The bangladesh team,They have won their first test series againts Zimbabwe,It took New zealand decades to win a Test Series and Bangladesh done It in 4 years as an Internationla team,they will start learning and will one day become a strong team,Even If they give it a fight I rarely doubt that they will win,

Surely England Is a hard team to beat,South Africa got a good taste of it in the test series.

The only thing is that it's given some English batsmen the opportunity to play themselves into a bit of form, prior to the Ashes.

not sure mate..it's not much different than dominating some under 19 attack. you guys really think confidence gained from this is useful when you face the famous 'boy band' attack

Hossain Monir and Mashud batted really well, some good strokes but other than that rubbish cricket from Bangladesh!

Lol . Practise is practise though, and better in the middle in Test match conditions than in the nets (although whether it be in the nets or against the weak Bangladesh attack it's probably never enough when you come up against the Aussies).
