England [386/6] defeat Bangladesh [280] by 106 runs in the 12th match of the 2019 World Cup

[BreadPakoda]

Can any Bangladesh poster explain to me why Masrafe is not bowling? Is he feeling like Imran Khan of 1992 world cup?

There are better bowlers than him in the side.

 

[Hasan2K8]

Mashrafe’s decision to bowl sakib too much in the first 10 will prove to he costly. It wasn’t like it was rank turner!

But who does mash turns too to bowl with the new ball? He himself sucks these days, there is no other pace 140+ option in the XI. Who effed it up? Captain and Coach. Why? Because they are one dimensional.

 

[Adijazz1706]

England might get 400 today, ominous signs for Banglabros

 

[Harshu814]

Any decent attack would have had eng 50/3 by now

Really? Seems flat patta to me

 

[emranabbas]

500 hundred on the cards trust me

 

[jnaveen1980]

Mediocre bowler rotation by Mashrafe right from the start. Playing defensively against England will play into their hands. You got to attack.

 

[Mamoon]

Bangladesh have overdone the spin tactic today. England are now prepared for it and you are not going to catch them off-guard all the time.

At this moment, england players run four for the ball which didn't reach the boundary. Are there any pakistani players who could run four? When was the last time you saw that happen?

While running four is extremely hard,mostly it depends on field setting and pace of the ball after getting shot rathar than how batsmen run.its a rare occurance dont blame batsmen

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Shaifuddin? Really?

 

[Green Patriot]

This is a flat track.
England will bat Bangladesh out of the match though unless they incite a quick collapse.

I never did, if you read carefully. It has more to do with fitness

England batting first are almost unstoppable these days since matches they r playing turns out to be on flat patta, what on earth in this conditions made bd bowl first? Utter stupidity to say the least

Good point,opening with spinners against England was getting predictable ,the same tactic wont work every time.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

i think a 400+ score today..

 

[Hasan123]

Bangladesh don't have the power to score big 300 scores. It's difficult to see them restricting England here.

 

[BreadPakoda]

500 hundred on the cards trust me

Would love to see 500 getting scored today. It's about time.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Granted it's a flat pitch but the captaincy has made it atrocious! Masrafe is generally good but I think he horribly lost the plot here. Sakib now would have really made a lot of difference. But alas.. his overs are done!

 

[szundercover]

i think a 400+ score today..

Dont think so,England will make 350 at max.

 

[Hasan123]

Wouldn't be surprised if Buttler or Stokes was promoted .

Mashraffes captaincy has been pathetic in this world cup so far,he has no use in this team ,he should concentrate in politics.

 

[Hasan2K8]

Yep. Mashrafe lost the plot today. Not only his fault but the English coach himself probably had inputs looking into this fake green looking wicket!

 

[szundercover]

Wouldn't be surprised if Buttler or Stokes was promoted .

I want to see butler bat at 4 today after root,both openers should play fearlessly now after getting a good start.

 

[Hasan123]

Roy usually accelerates when he has a 100.

 

[Hasan123]

I want to see butler bat at 4 today after root,both openers should play fearlessly now after getting a good start.

One of these 2 will accelerate soon.

 

[Hasan123]

What a player Roy is. He has got better the longer he has played international cricket.

 

[Hasan2K8]

With this XI. BD ALWAYS pacer short. I kept saying drop Mithun bring Rubel in, least there’s an option of 140+. Saif and Mortaza slow medium, both ok in certain parts saif post 30ov, Mash has been poor. So it’s all FIZZ as far as pace bowling is concerned. One pace attack really. Weak bowling unit. 2015 had Mash at his best, Taskin, Rubel.

 

[Hasan123]

Bairstow out.

 

[Ronaldo7]

Dont think so,England will make 350 at max.

Bd's bowling ain't that good.

 

[Hasan123]

Miraz is a talent.

 

[Markhor]

Very well caught.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Masrafe gets the wicket! This is making the earlier bowling changes look even more stupid. Bangladesh have their captain to blame if they lose today! Heck as a neutral these tactics have ****** me off...

 

[gazza619]

Huge wicket!

 

[szundercover]

Bd's bowling ain't that good.

they still have shakib,mustafizur and mehdi hassan who are good death over bowlers with wicket taking abilities.

 

[szundercover]

My heart says bangladesh but my brain says england.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Bangladesh winning today will open the world cup! I so want it to happen!

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Jason Roy needs to play a long innings

 

[Ronaldo7]

Bangladesh winning today will open the world cup! I so want it to happen!

You're expecting too much.

 

[Hasan2K8]

Masrafe gets the wicket! This is making the earlier bowling changes look even more stupid. Bangladesh have their captain to blame if they lose today! Heck as a neutral these tactics have ****** me off...

Few overs of Shakib would been fine, and assess the wicket if there’s something to Shak on. But also got to realise he’s one of your key bowlers and you need overs from him 30-50!

 

[Hasan123]

Root can take a little time to get set here.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Even at military medium pace, Masrafe is making the ball talk.. and posters here say he's not a good bowler!

 

[Hasan123]

The longer Roy bats , the more dangerous for Bangladesh.

 

[gazza619]

Good stuff by bangla captain

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Few overs of Shakib would been fine, and assess the wicket if there’s something to Shak on. But also got to realise he’s one of your key bowlers and you need overs from him 30-50!

Exactly. 7 overs bowled already.. Masrafe could have easily bowled 3 of those overs!

 

[gazza619]

The longer Roy bats , the more dangerous for Bangladesh.

And the longer Root bats the better for Bangladesh

 

[Hasan123]

Good running from Roy.

 

[Hasan123]

And the longer Root bats the better for Bangladesh

He will keep the scoreboard ticking over. Bangladesh need wickets.

 

[Hasan2K8]

Soumya Sarkar moves like an elephant and he is not in his late 30s

 

[Ram Shekhar]

I feel Hales had the best ability to run away with games in England team... Roy is indeed a little overrated due to his aggressive mindset. Hales also was the key during 444 and 481 scores..

 

[szundercover]

Even at military medium pace, Masrafe is making the ball talk.. and posters here say he's not a good bowler!

He is useless ,and medicore at best.

 

[Hasan2K8]

BD needs Roy out ASAP! He is one of the reasons why England have scored many 400+ since 2015

 

[Ram Shekhar]

He is useless ,and medicore at best.

He may not be your glamorous fast bowler but he bowls with heart...

Just as I type.. Nasser says the same thing on air!

 

[Ram Shekhar]

BD needs Roy out ASAP! He is one of the reasons why England have scored many 400+ since 2015

Surprisingly no. Hales was the key on both occasions!

 

[Shafi]

Mashrafee still Bangladesh's main strike bowler. Got 1 wicket for 30 runs in 5.4 overs

 

[Ahmed216]

Roy to score a double ton

 

[Ram Shekhar]

One feedback.. I think most posters go by gut rather than facts and stats on this forum. Do you guys even watch matches of other teams?

 

[Hasan2K8]

Excellent over by Mortaza only 3 off it

 

[Ram Shekhar]

One feedback.. I think most posters go by gut rather than facts and stats on this forum. Do you guys even watch matches of other teams?

Calling Masrafe useless, Bangladesh as minnows, not able to identify who was the architect of huge scores for England...

 

[Hasan2K8]

One feedback.. I think most posters go by gut rather than facts and stats on this forum. Do you guys even watch matches of other teams?

Most dont I bet. And have bad general cricket IQ. Mortaza might be military medium but his line and length is the best in BD, and he has stats in general to back him if you check since 2015 WC

 

[AFM]

Nass we can hear you when you are asking the stats man

 

[hur rizvi]

Bangladesh have scarcity of fast bowling talent. Mashrafe still makes the team on merit

 

[Aman]

Like I said after the NZ match, Bangladesh are effectively out.

That's 2 losses for them with Aus, India, WI and Pakistan left. They need to win 3 out of 4, not happening.

 

[Sarwar89]

If Bangladesh restricts them to under 320 they still have chance.

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Y bowl first, stupid decision

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

400 on cards

 

[hur rizvi]

If Bangladesh restricts them to under 320 they still have chance.

Only a slight one. Less than 300 would be a genuine chance

 

[hur rizvi]

Y bowl first, stupid decision

Specially when England just failed a chase in last match

 

[Zeshan547]

on days like these, Root is liability for England

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Roy ready to unleash after his 100...

 

[AAli98]

SA must have really hit rock bottom, Bang can’t bowl/field

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Bangla need to attack and get roy out. England aiming for 350 plus

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Get Mossadek on

 

[Markhor]

What a comical way to get to hundred

 

[hur rizvi]

I think on potential Babar has higher ceiling than Root, anyone agree?

I agree, in ODIs even currently babar is better in my opinion. In tests babar is behind but on potential he can overtake root

 

[Zeshan547]

Good hundred but vs Lollipop attack, hilarious scenes there, on side note Root is really slowing down poms

 

[Ahmed216]

SA must have really hit rock bottom, Bang can’t bowl/field

The dry oval surdace was perfect for Bang's style of play

 

[Green Patriot]

Lbw on its way

[Cpt. Rishwat]

If Bangladesh restricts them to under 320 they still have chance.

Fat chance of that happening. It will be closer to 400.

 

[Zeshan547]

Root out ja bhai we wanna see 400

 

[dhump]

Bangladesh getting destroyed here I can only imagine what likes of Butler and Stokes will do after this kind of start stressful day for Bangla Brothers.
