1st Test: England v Bangladesh (score thread) [26/5/05]

[Hash]

England should declare now and win the match today

 

[waheed]

Murtaza makes the breakthrough with an excellant delivery getting extra bounce and mocing away, Vaughan out for 120.

409-2

England should carry on and keep on batting, a big crowd is expected tomorrow, they would like to see Flintoff bat...

700 should be enough, get everyone upto and including Jones into some batting form.

Go Belly!

 

[waheed]

Rafique picks up Trescothick for 194, no double ton for Tres...

2 quick wickets for Bangladesh with some good bowling from rafique and mortaza the experienced bowlers.

Belly get's a 50.

 

[dan hudson]

In Bell and Pietersen England have two of the very best young batsmen in the world.

This game is just a farce.

 

[Guest]

Belly's a former teammate - would be good for him to get a 100 regardless of the opposition.

90/5 at the end of the day. I don't expect the match to go into the afternoon session on saturday but funnier things have happened!

 

[waheed]

England on the Rampage...

Hoggard strikes in 1st over
Harmison very unlucky to miss out on a hatrick

But picks up 2 in 2 with good straight bowling.
LBW not give by hari hari...

100-8

Bengali Kittens going to biggest Test defeat

England have condemned them to near kicking out of Test status

I mean bangladesh have played test since 6 years and against a strong side they have yet to show ANY kind of resistence

Bangalis 98/8 345 runs behind and england are yet to bat again in second innings, pathetic

 

[adi 101]

i feel sorry for them......

 

[salmanbuttfan]

I can assure you Kenya has the talent to beat a top side.

 

[adi 101]

ok the bangladeshi batter is given not out by the third umpire and the english crowd start cheering and giving each other high fives whats that all about?

 

[dan hudson]

They have bought tickets for the day and want to watch as much cricket as possible.

They know England will win whatever happens...

 

[adi 101]

id rather have the match finish in ten hours and get a full refund rather then the match last 10.1 and then you get no money

 

[Rob H]

That will do very nicely for my fantasy cricket team.

me too and tres getting 194 is even better

The questions been asked so many times, and i ask one more time!!

What's the point of Bangladesh playing test cricket
a club side could give more resistance than this.

And another thing i'm mad about is how cricinfo made this out to be such a blockbuster series, with all these press conferences with bashar and whatmore and all this garbage statements, and a week before that these garbage articles with bangladesh players, and pics on their homepage.
Cricinfo are english slaves.

Also another thing im mad about is how happy im seeing the english players about dismissing bengali batsmen, do they think that they are proving something to Australia by doing all this. playing bangladesh was the worst thing that could happen to them before playing the best team.
