Bangladesh v England | Group B | WC'11 | Chittagong | 11/03/11

[Afridi_Fan]

BD won the toss and Put England in to bat.

4/0 on 1 over.

 

[sazz]

England need to play cautiously here. One more upset and their chances of QF's will be in danger.

 

[sazz]

I am hoping for an another upset.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

BD are reviewing that.

)

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Talk about a waste of a review.

 

[NZcricketfan]

Worst review I have ever seen.

 

[James]

Hahahahaha! )

 

[sazz]

what a waste of review.

 

[NZcricketfan]

Bangladesh will end up with no reviews left and then the shockers will start and they will have no way to overturn them.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Crashed by Prior.

 

[James]

Strauss top scorer in the tournament

ahead of lots of good players there!

 

[NZcricketfan]

Truly a decision from the Jimmy Kamande school of thought.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

12/0 in 3.

 

[Schickelgruber]

I hope BD get thrashed and kicked around.

 

[Schickelgruber]

27-0 great start for England

 

[kkmix]

HAHAHA why are bangali bowlers running up to the batsmen staring at them, what do they think they look dangerous to them hahahaha. They barely have meat under their skin. lol

I'm laughing the same way as Kamran in your avatar

 

[Schickelgruber]

Rubel steaming in

27-0 in 6

 

[James]

27-0 great start for England

more decent than great. too many dots for my liking.

 

[Schickelgruber]

Spinners on

 

[Schickelgruber]

more decent than great. too many dots for my liking.

Don't worry Whippy bhai, 280 is a winning score here. They can afford a few dots.

 

[Blitz]

more decent than great. too many dots for my liking.

They already have 50% of the runs required to beat Bangladesh

 

[Schickelgruber]

Well said!

haha this is an epic laugh, i asked for this smiley, let's hope we get it. It will take PP to some next level.

 

[Schickelgruber]

Prior ... what the hell?

 

[Schickelgruber]

What a brain fart by Prior.

 

[kkmix]

Goooooood work by Mushfiq, outthought the batsman.

 

[Blitz]

Brilliant by keeper. Not the first stumping.

The taking stump out. Very very smart.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

1 down, 9 to go.

Go Tigers, teach them a lesson.

Whippy.

 

[Badsha]

Bangla looking good.

 

[James]

Matthew Prior, what was that...

time for another dour but crucial fifty from the Trotter

 

[kkmix]

Angraiz under pressure.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Spinners on and England start to crawl.

 

[Badsha]

Alright. Either a wicket or a few big shots. Anything can happen now.

 

[Badsha]

Maiden over. Good stuff.

 

[Badsha]

 

[Badsha]

England under pressure now.

 

[NZcricketfan]

England better watch out, what happened to us can just as easily happen to them.

 

[James]

epic fail.

maybe this sort of pitch will suit our middle order anyway.

 

[Badsha]

The world cup is just so much more interesting when two matches are going on at once

 

[kkmix]

Can England be kicked out if they lose today?

 

[Badsha]

epic fail.

maybe this sort of pitch will suit our middle order anyway.

They'd have to maintain this run rate. Keep the run rate around 4.5 and not lose another wicket till about the 30'th over.

 

[James]

Can England be kicked out if they lose today?

no.

 

[Badsha]

I don't really want Bangladesh to win for some reason.

 

[Badsha]

Love hearing Bumbles voice!

 

[Badsha]

Bell looks like he's going to take his time.

 

[James]

getting mullered

 

[Badsha]

Run rate 3.37. Better get that up to 4 at least.

 

[Badsha]

Trott looks like kallis with the helmet on.

 

[kkmix]

If Bangladesh is to win today then technically it wouldn't be an upset because Bangladesh beat Ireland, so Bangla should be favorites to beat England too.

 

[James]

Trott looks like kallis with the helmet on.

He scores solid and unspectacular runs at his own pace, runs that are alternately helpful and unhelpful. Pure Kallis!

 

[NZcricketfan]

But what happens if Ireland beat the west indies who hammered Bangladesh who themselves lost to bangladesh?

 

[James]

When they replayed the Prior dismissal in real-time I thought it had happened to one of the right-handers again ah dear...

[Badsha]

Group B is just so unpredictable!

 

[Badsha]

David Llyod "Athar Nothing wrong with this pitch me and you could bat on it now"

 

[James]

England could have played Tredwell instead of Lollingwood.

 

[Badsha]

England handling this pressure well right now.

 

[Badsha]

49-2. sixteen overs gone.

 

[James]

anyone know of any paint drying anywhere that I can go and look at for a bit?

Loosen up Whippy old boy. You're gonna need to keep your wits today it looks like. As much as I would like to see England win, it's always great to see the underdog prevail!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Epic Fail.

[Blitz]

I love this Group

 

[Afridi_Fan]

5 runs in 23 balls. Are we playing Ashes?

 

[James]

Ian Bell!! shocker!

 

[A.M.]

 

[malakian]

We'll lose this match. All up to Morgan now.

 

[James]

it's always great to see the underdog prevail!

not today! we have embarrassment to avoid, not to mention I really wouldn't mind a quarter-final place

 

[pinger]

Problems again here for England.

 

[Badsha]

Should have played for the Irish instead Morgan! You'd be a king there

 

[James]

we still have Trott, Morgan, Bopara and Collingwood. we were in a much worse position against South Africa and won. not quite time for the razor blades yet...

 

[Badsha]

not today! we have embarrassment to avoid, not to mention I really wouldn't mind a quarter-final place

Don't think they're out of it with this loss mate.

 

[James]

Don't think they're out of it with this loss mate.

they're not. but if we lose to Ireland and Bangladesh in the space of three games then might as well go home...

 

[kkmix]

England playing only one overrated spinner, now this game will be interesting.

 

[Robert]

Don't think they're out of it with this loss mate.

You can call a match after 17 overs out of a hundred?

England making a meal of it against the spinners. Oh for the days of Gooch, Gower and Gatting, or even Thorpe and Hick....

 

[Badsha]

they're not. but if we lose to Ireland and Bangladesh in the space of three games then might as well go home...

Can't say anything about that

 

[Blitz]

[ace4rmspace]
