2nd Test Match - Bangladesh v England

[BensGrandad]

No call for Trescothick?

No as he wont go on tour but could have done a job at home last year. The future must be the 19 year old Indian sounding named opener.

what about the 19 year old boy wonder where is he.

Sadly he is currently the Drinks Waiter, he should be opening with Cook and Ballance should be looking forward to several uninterrupted seasons playing for Yorkshire...

And if we don't sort our opening bat woes on this tour is there still hope for Tres with England in 2017?

 

[BensGrandad]

We do have a problem as Hales doesnt seem up to it and Duckett hasnt set the world alight although it is young days for him so lets give him time to set him self up.

I think BG is right this time. The lad would have benefited from a game on this tour. India would be a tough baptism for an urgent call up.

Duckett will be opening in 12 days time in India.

 

[BensGrandad]

Duckett will be opening in 12 days time in India.

On his current showing that is a worry but dont write him off yet.

Morning everyone, I see the traditional Collapse has happened overnight... 176-8

 

[ManOfSussex]

England 174-8.

I just saw the morning highlights over a coffee during the lunch break............

Root was out plum LBW and didn't review, Woakes was given out caught behind and was not out on review. A long shot question, had Root reviewed would we still have had one left, anyone know?

 

[knocky1]

Good point about reviews. If they are going to be used in the modern game, they should be on the scorecard. I have no idea of the review situation in this innings.

 

[jakarta]

Mr Respectable has just turned up. 203-8

 

[studio150]

A lot better than at lunch within touching distance of a 1st innings lead

 

[dazzer6666]

Fascinating game so far. Good from Woakes and Rashid.

 

[Mackenzie]

Thank goodness our lower order can bat, those guys seem to dig us out of a hole most matches these days.

Great warm up for India.

If we only had 1 review left when Root decided not to use it, that was a big moment in this test match with Woakes having done what he's done.

 

[jakarta]

Parity achieved, a 30 run lead would be pretty good!

 

[dazzer6666]

Bad decision there, no way that ball would have been above waist height if Woakes hadn't moved forward. Daft rule anyway, hardly dangerous at that pace !

 

[jakarta]

Woakes goes, hopefully Rashid now has licence to go for it

243-9

 

[BensGrandad]

Would like to have seen Woakes and Rashid both get 50.

Different game with the new ball.
