Get one out now and could collapse. If sabbir gets it down to 15 needed then fancy them to do it even if he gets out.
Taijul taking chances.............overs running out today..........33 needed............ Whats this?.................they are off.............close of play
I think its finely poised. Again it is shameful for england v a new test nation with debutant about the place to be looking at defeat. However. 78 overs into ball. 2 wickets left. 30 odd runs from one batsman and a tail ender. I think cook will certainly go with stokes and broad tomorrow and take new ball. If they get a sniff of spin they will win i think. We could skittle them in 4 overs for 10 tuns or they could be sensible and push singles and win easy. Again.. playing a side sanked just above Zimbabwe .. not good.
Lovely jubley! I thought that game was gone yesterday so well pleased. We kept battling well by the sounds of things.
Certainly the new ball was key. However the luck is in the coin toss at the start. England won due to 45 run lead built in first innings. It was that close. England must do better. The batting is still long and can get runs down to 8. They are done at 5 really. I think really some guys have shown theyve worked on things in advance of india but youd want england to win this next test andvmove on. Its midtable test team v bottom end test team.
I think you are being a bit harsh on Bangladesh here - they are much improved recently, managing draws against Pakistan, south Africa and india in the last 2 years, and playing against an England team with only 2 days worth of playing first class cricket on the sub-continent, it was always going to be more difficult than a few predicted.
Table doesn't lie though.... England are 4th best... one reason is the switch off and let others win stuff that occurs when a series is won. Another is that India are actually the best. Oh and Pakistan let off 2-2 so they are ahead of us and all. Irrespective Bangladesh are second last in table so 2-0 is only acceptable result but it's very highly likely eyes are already on India and we will **** next game up.
We are in beaten in our last test series against all nations in the world.. the ranking list is dependant on many thing like games played etc. Fact is no one has beaten us since we last beat them.
