England have won the toss and decided to bowl first

Bangladesh have made two changes to the 1st Test team
Mushfiqur Rahim is replaced by Rajin Saleh
Shahadat Hossain makes way for Tapash Baisya

 

[Rob H]

Hoggard to start the bowling with a dot ball

 

[Rob H]

Don't think Fantasy Managers will be happy...

quite a few originally selected Rajin Saleh, then when he was not picked for 1st test replaced him and now he is back

bangla getting skittled here, poor showing, i wont be suprised if their test status is stripped of them

Atleast Batty can now say he atleast took part in the game, unlike the first test where he did not bat, bowl or field (no catches).

Doubt if he bats or bowls in this game aswell
Why was he selected for...
Would have been better to give Pieterson a chance.

 

[Rob H]

Hope they bowl Batty in the 2nd innings as he deserves toi do something in the game.

 

[Shayan]

Doubt Pieterson would have got to do much either. Bangladesh's bowlers seem incapable of taking more than 2 or 3 wickets.

 

[waheed]

Would have been good to see FLintoff and Pieterson going hell for leather against the hapless Bangladesh bowlers... Game could have been over inside 2 days...

 

[Rob H]

444444444 to mashud 98-9

 

[Shayan]

true, i think England might alter the batting order slightly to make sure that Flintoff and Jones get a bat.

 

[Shayan]

100 up!

 

[waheed]

3 FIGURES UP FOR BANGLADESH >

 

[Rob H]

2 more for mashud

 

[HAFRIDI]

congrats bangla

 

[Rob H]

[Hash]

Great potential this team has!
