England vs Bangladesh

[sydney]

fist my ********...this is ****ing utter gash , what a load of cocksuckers....get 'em home ffs.......spineless , gutless fukwhitt cuaaasnnnnttssss..!

 

[Brovion]

This may seem like a CRAZY idea but perhaps it's time they tried to hit a boundary.

No, no, no - far too risky. Just keep nudging and nurdling and waiting for the bad balls. It'll be fine. And it IS the batting PowerPlay. Don't want to do anything stupid.

what on earth has it come to when we are struggling to beat bangladesh.......FFS.....!!

Very true, we might lose wickets if we play differently...

 

[zeetha]

I know we've only got 4 wickets left but wheres the urgency? Maybe they don't want to win as they know they'll probably get trounced in the quarters...

Here we go... Buttler smashes first ball of the over for SIX...

 

[Simster]

Here we go... Buttler smashes first ball of the over for SIX...

Don't worry, he'll be out in the next 10 balls or so.

 

[Badger]

What on EARTH is he doing that for? He needs to calm down.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

I could do better than this lot and I am utter Pony at Cricket

 

[Titanic]

192-6 (41 overs)

84 from 54 balls.

Who's this Alex Hales that people were saying should have been in the team from the start of the tournament.
An average of 18 and a strike rate of 70, England clearly just don't have any depth of players.

There's nothing wrong with the players, Hales in particular, it's mostly the management. No idea of the stats, but I'd be amazed if Hales has a more than 3 or 4 games on the trot, no wonder he's struggling....

 

[maltaseagull]

What!? We won our group in '83, P6 W5. In '87 we got to the final and were close to winning it.

Gooch, Robinson, Athey, Gatting, Lamb, Downton, Emburey, DeFreitas, Foster, Small > would wipe the floor with this current lot!

I think Ireland would too !

We need 95 off 10 overs and I cannot think of anyone in the squad capable of getting them.

SA and AU & SL probably have 2 or 3 in their side who can.

Buttler is one of the best T20 batsmen in the world.

Buttler is one of the best T20 batsmen in the world.

As are Hales and Luke Wright - two of the absolute stars of the Australian domestic short form competition. The Aussies must think we are morons, to not be building our team around them.

 

[sydney]

Bell is a dinosaur..!!

 

[Titanic]

65 off 35 balls... tick... tock...

 

[Pevenseagull]

I honestly think England's 'plan' going into this tournament was to lose to NZ, Aid and Sri Lanka, sneak a result against Bangladesh, win the other 2 and then lose in the quarters.

So all in all, not too bad. Nearly pulled it off.


Shocking

 

[Simster]

This is all a bit plucky. Our beloved minnows are making a fist of this.

It can't be long before one of these two are out thanks to a bit of minnow naiivity.

 

[The Wizard]

Embarrassing from England. Buttler though

 

[Bold Seagull]

It's obviously the work of some genius to bat your best batsmen at 7. Keep the captain with more ducks than the Ardingly Reservoir at 5....
