Could be a bit of a banana skin following the last 'batting' performance?

Remember the Bangas turning over Australia in 2005 when they didn't take them seriously and tried to smash them out of the game...

Won't be the same team playing, think Roy should be reconsidered though as he's not done much.

Perhaps Bairstow will play instead of Roy........

Rashid dropped, Ball comes in, looks like Stokes is trusted to bowl.

England win toss and will give the Bangas first dip.

12 overs to go, runs flowing from 2 set batsmen, only 2 wickets down. 209/2 - I can see us chasing 340 here.

Is this a textbook Oval surface or did we just plan poorly with two creaking bowlers and no attacking leggy?

As per usual with England a tournament starts and we lose our heads. Why has Rashid been dropped? An incredibly poor decision. He is England's leading ODI wicket taker since the last world cup. Why did we chose to bowl? Because we underestimated the Bangladeshi's, and thought we would just roll them over and win at a canter. That is partly why Rashid was dropped too, they obviously just thought these Bangladeshi's do not like fast bowlers or bouncers and they will crumble. If we lose this it will be because of arrogance and poor thinking from the beginning.
