Bangladesh beat England by 108 runs in the 2nd Test, square series 1-1

Root fails again in a crunch situation. This year apart from that double century against Pak does he have any significant knocks!!
 
If I was an England fan that would be the most tense review ever. If Cook got out there then that was the game
 
TBH even though I could see leg stump I had a feeling it would miss leg stump because of that angle and the fact that the ball still had some distance to travel
 
Root has to drop back to no 4, just not working @ 3 even though it might just be a mental thing.

Hawkeye is *******, draws its own line, that was spinning back in.

Spinning back in after it hit the pad...? All Hawkeye does in terms of the line of the ball is draw a straight line between the point of pitching and point of impact.

Interesting to see if Ballance fails here if Hameed comes in and then if he moves up to open instead of Duckett. Then it'd be fairly easy to slot Duckett in at 3.

Yes I think they should have given Hameed a go in this test and Cook, Hameed, Duckett, Root would be a better combination.
 
The dangerous Beard on crease.

He can hurt Bangladesh badly with his usual frustrating knock.
 
Aliastar cook the old warhorse showing his class and legendary reputation
 
Good morning. Wanted 3, got 5.

Our Mushi is the 3rd dumbest Captain I have seen - went to the run saving mood. Now, bowling Hom so that the new pair can settle down - this guy will cost us this game, unless Tamim intervenes.

So you sleep for just 2 hours in the night?
 
I don't understand why these idiots allowing batsmen to go on back foot!!!!! Make then drive on this track, or defend on bat-pad.
 
Mehdi Mehdi Mehdi.....

Take a bow young lad.

[MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] - Do you feel England is way too woeful against spin? Australie eque or even below?

With all due respect, all the wickets look of deliveries that are normal. Nothing super dangerous off the pitch or something.

OK, Jonny gone - this should have been length from ball 1.

He definitely will.

Just not bothered but what is happening here perfectly fits with his beliefs.

Wait for him and he will say if Mehdi and Shakib can take wickets on such pitches, then no wonder Indian spinners are taking wickets on super rank turners.
 
Stokes is the danger man. The real clutch player in the England team. Would feel a lot more comfortable once he goes.
 
Bangladesh not even playing their first string bowling attack. Imagine if they had Fizz to bowl a few spells and unleash a few cutters on this pitch.
 
Bangladesh spinners need to work on their line and length.

If they had, they would have whitewashed England.

Shakib is a quality spinner but just not accurate in this series.

Their lineup is not balanced - you can't put 5 lefti in top 6 with opponents best bowler being classical offie. And they have to take sweep out of their mind set. In India, I'll drop Balance & Adil (trust me, he'll face judgement day against Indian batsmen) & play Josh & Hameed (Bell) & then alter the batting order to put few right handers up.

In general quality of spin play is worst in history of the game, at least since WW 1, therefore it's quite predictable. Spinners of both sides have bowled enough trash for teams to cross 450, at least on 1st innings of this Test. On this track, Anil (Kumble) would have figures like 38-15-77-6 - that's 20 years back; these days make it 20-4-60-8.

Mongia will be among best 2/3 spin players among those 22 batting here.
 
Mushi, batu, bring Taijul idiot. Stokes is hitting through everything & these two are darting. Bring someone to bowl at 75KM & ask him to use feet.
 
Its the spin playing quality that has gone down these days.

Kumble would have been averaging 26-27 these days.
 
Shakib idiot drops a crucial catch. He is far too casual in these moments.

Shuvagata was bowling well for me. Taijul too can be brought on. He is the most economical and can tighten the screws even more.

Mongia, Kalu and co will look solid but won't last long (barring the odd innings) cos you also need temperament to bat for long.

Just very surprising to see England bat like this. 2011-12 they were so good. What a fall from grace.

How did Root play in this series quality wise?
 
I still feel England will pull it off. England just need to keep the target below 100 and see Bangla choke again.

Losers whine and make excuses. Winners beat the opponents on their own turf.

Root looked most comfortable only problem was he didn't get a big score. In 1st test England the 1st innings everyone was struggling to get bat and ball root was scoring at a brilliant rate.

He's the key wicket for you guys.

Is Mehedi actually that good? Or are England just that bad?

Mehdi is good when he bowls in good length.

Has to improve his flight, line and length and impart more energy when he releases.

Can't argue with results though. He has produced the goods. England have been super woeful too.

Pure quality of spin bowling wise, for me Shakib looks a way better spinner as of now (but then Mehdi is just 19 and spinners improve by a mile from that age). However Shakib hasn't been successful this series due to his inconsistent line and length.

Damn...he's gonna take it all out against us. Haha.
 
Either Bangladesh has improved a lot in recent years or England is getting worse.

Dude had the nerve to complain about last ODI pitch.

That was next level stuff. :))

Even the most craziest of desi fans would be busy attacking their team if thier team had got bowled out for 79 in response to 270.
 
I am wondering these guys play Test cricket for 10 years & still not finding the length for a rank turner. Out of 7 wickets, 6 were on front foot & Poms have scored 80% on back foot. Hathura is a fantastic Coach, but his specificity is LO cricket - he just don't have the mindset of getting batsmen out.

Hope Walshi teaches boys how to get batsmen out.
 
In just over a year Ansari has gone from opening the batting for Surrey to batting 10 for England...
 
Remember guys - Ansari is a better cricketer than Jaddu, game is still in balance.
 
Shakib HATRICKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Yaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyy
