Bangladesh are very very poor, If they can just bat for 3hrs-4hrs they do not deserve to play test cricket.

England should bat and score at 8 runs an over for the next 30 overs and put Bangladesh back in for 10 overs, and bowl them out tomorrow morning !!!

boundries galore now to vaughan

 

[Officer Barbrady]

This should be Vaughan at his best. I hope to see more of this in the Ashes!

13.6 Anwar Hossain Monir to Vaughan, FOUR, make that three in a row!
short ball, pulled away with ease to the midwicket fence,
expensive start!
13.5 Anwar Hossain Monir to Vaughan, FOUR, shot! Hossain compensates by
pitching it up, Vaughan gets forward and drives it away
beautifully to the deep extra cover boundary, long chase and a
diving attempt ends in vain
13.4 Anwar Hossain Monir to Vaughan, FOUR, short and wide outside the
off stump, begging to be hit, Vaughan gets more than enough time
to get back and smash it away to the cover fence

 

[Rob H]

both batsman stepping on the gas here

This match will probably finish tomorrow. So far the English have batted like its ODI. They will declare at lunch tomorrow and knock over the wickets in the afternoon.

[Fessal]

I can't believe England are wasting time against Bangladesh. Had I been in Vaughan's poistion for both games I would have declared the team on at least 300 and bowl Bangla out twice in one day.

 

[Fessal]

Ideally, I would have declared my first innings with same score or forefitted it. In that way it may have been some game.

People will say that would be probably giving Bangla no respect but I think it would have helped England in many ways.

Finishing the game in a day would have mean more rest, or getting some decent practicse by playing county cricket.

Whats the point practicsing againsy Bangla? Also, it would have helped in pushing the suspension on Bangla and ZImb from test as they are not yet ready for it.

i cudnt have seen england risking a forfeited inns. however bangladesh and zimbabwe shud be stripped of test status and made to play pakistan A or england A etc...

Bangladesh 104 & 50/0

50 partnership and no wkts lost ...omg!

 

[Amir]

they just a lost a wkt, and when they sohuldnt have the ball did not carry to Cheater Jones.

If England ever dares to call one of our players a cheater, they should look at their own and against bangladesh!

no, it was one of them where the keeper thinks he catches it but it just hits the ground before.

 

[Amjid Javed]

i hope jones is banned like r latif was..!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Bangladesh 104 & 65/1

that dismissal has cost bangladesh the chance of the winning this test!

grrrrrrrrr

 

[ImranR]

From cricinfo:
22.5 Flintoff to Javed Omar, FOUR, short ball angling down the leg side,
Oram gets bat on ball, easy runs

Oram?????????????????????

 

[Rob H]

great 50 by Omar.
Well you never know Imram. Javed Omar might've turned into Jacob Oram when he played the shot/

 

[Rob H]

Ashraful out. A big slog and caught at long on

 

[Amjid Javed]

Bangladesh 108/3 (Javed Omar 60* Habibul Bashar 6*) Tea - Day 2

j omars been the one batsmen whose actually coped well in both test matches...!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Bangladesh 104 & 198/5 (50.0 ov)

bashar gone for 62... was a breezy good knock!

 

[Amjid Javed]

bangladesh now 208/5

finally a decent total by the tourists!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Bangladesh 104 & 227/5 (57.1 ov)
England 447/3d

bangladesh set 2 take match into a 3rd day!

 

[Rob H]

This's great stuff to watch out there. All the batsman are finally looking in decent touch. Omar was unlucky not to get 100 and Bashar played well to get his 1st 50 of the tour.
