Bangladesh v England | 2nd Test | Dhaka | Oct 28-Nov 1, 2016 | Day 1

[Markhor]

BD collapsing from a great position will cost them. On Asian pitches that'll deteriorate and the cracks widen, you need to make hay in your 1st inns.

England yet again have had another top order failure so lower order will have to do another rescue act.

13 wickets in a day

Can't believe we lost 49 runs for 9 wickets

I left to work when you were 117/1 and it's 220 AO
Get those Stokes, Woakes and Bairstow early to get some kind of lead.

 

[Suleiman]

300 would've taken BD away from loss possibility.

 

[the Great Khan]

lol Moeen showing what a great and valuable cricketer he is. They criticise him but he keeps on fighting and coming up with the goods. A great way to shut up some people.

as for bangla well..all I'll say is "lol"..i mean seriously..from 154-1 to 220 ao..is disgraceful.

Ian bell should be in this team.

Ian bell should be in this team.

did bell retire from cricket or was he just dropped? don't think he's even 35 yet.

Just saw the highlights BTW... backing the Poms for this game. World order needs to be restored

Dropped. Lost his form last year and had three poor series vs NZ, Aus and Pakistan in UAE.

ballance is hardly an upgrade on bell. i dont know how ballance averages in the high 30s, never seen him score runs at all.

Watched Cook's dismissal which was given not out but didn't see how the review folded.

The ball clearly pitched off, how in the blue hell was that decision reversed?

He was struck 20 cm from the stumps

BD still needs to hone their skills playing West Indies for a decade

 

[Executioner]

We don't have issues with skills as much as we have a mental block.

The mental block will can only be dealt with by playing more matches against equal sides like West Indies, Sri Lanka and Pakistan in LoIs.

We collapse like a house of cards. Such used to happen to us a lot in the past, seems like the habit has returned

 

[Anfield]

Bangladesh has started to play like minows again. As soon as they get in a string position against a higher ranked team they panic and throw away the initiative.

Doesn't matter, as the impact was within the stumps.

Yup they lack discipline and mental fortitude required to perform at higher stage.. Also, the quality of batting in tail department is far too lacking.
