Judgement Day!

Series stands at 1-1 and winner takes all today.
 
Don't think we will have a match today, it's going to be a washout. Stokes will fight with the rain this time.
 
Seriously, after toss we actually have to wait for 30 more minutes, what has rain got to do with toss? Cricket is so silly :facepalm:

I have always wondered this, a lot of time is wasted "waiting" for things if we cut down on that during rain interuptions we might end up having games.

Sometimes the 30 minute break you had would have been enough for the game to end.

True. When I used to play cricket, I used to wear my pads and go for the toss, I always batted first, when the opposition captain sees me padded up, he always fielded first. After my batting I usually go missing :asif
 
Vince again??? How on earth this guy keep getting chances again and again
 
England will chase. There goes the advantage.

England team can do well in T20s. Their ODI and T20 side is identical. We are missing some key T20 players. Hope rain stays away.

But still, chasing in a reduced game is a big plus. Too bad for us
 
Ctg pitch suits us. I hope we win but it's going to be tough.

But if we do win this it's going to be something big for us.
 
220 is more than enough in this pitch!!!! Bangladeshi spinners are too good for whiny English batsmen.
 
Sabbir needs to make up for his previous match, he needs to score a quick 30 ball 50, i don't want another 23 balls 3 runs.
 
Chittagong cricket stadium is the best in the world in terms of water drainage system. Just awesome. Rained for 3 days including this morning and the match is on! And the same things also happened in the past.
 
It was a very important toss to win but we lost. Advantage England.Rain may come and we can have a shortened match.
 
Tamim Iqbal is playing the role of Ahmed Shehzad in the game.Very poor strike rate.:uakmal

Tamim is far better than Shehzad!!! Shehzad tuk tuk in even super flat tracks and mediocre bowling while at least Tamim score fast in those condition
 
Can anyone tell, why Ben Stokes is rated such that he is in World XI for ODI? This is not not his last antics, but this guy averages 26.7 @ 95 SR (after 101 2 matches back & playing 40% of his career in last 2 years on 350 per grounds) & bowls at 38+ average with 6+ economy?
 
England bowlers have been rather unimpressive till now. And that is good news for India.
 
Tamim Iqbal is an impressive player of spin, Ashwin vs Tamim in a Test match would be an interesting battle.

Stokes is the new Flintoff. Freddie never had great stats had impact just like him so far.

He has the potential to be a decent to good all rounder, only in ODI cricket.

He is the Ashraful of England, but more violent.
 
Tamim Iqbal is a quality test batsman, not sure if he is trying to audition for the test side before the test series when he will definitely be opening
 
Cannot allow moien Ali to get cheap overs in.

In a 50 over match context we are looking at 260-275 which is essentially game over for England.

But with rain threat England can chase anything around 8-9 rpo in 20-25 over match
 
The dark clouds are not above the stadium so you can expect plenty of overs
 
England is clearly struggling!!!! This is not 250 runs pitch and knowing England's weak top order Bangladesh is clear favorite to score 270
 
Normally, with wickets at hand, scores triple from 20 overs. But, I think 260 won't be enough if it dews heavily.
 
Bangladesh should be passionate against Stokes and show him where he belongs!
 
Not sure what you expect from the crowd? They seem no different than fans that you see around the world.

i meant that the game is very poorly attended, not that they are not sporting.
 
Tamim thinks so :misbah

Actually, he is play not bad. This is not a 350 wicket - if one can get 80 of 120, probably others can get 180 at run a ball + 15 extras, it's match winning 275. I wish he bats through the innings & makes Adil bowl to a lefti.

It's working day & the stadium is 20 km away from down town. Also, I think crowd is not sure if there'll be a full match.

Oh man what a shot by Sabbir :four maar Sabbir maar :133:

Yeah I agree, but Tamim is struggling, is not in total control of the innings.
