ICC Champions Trophy First Game England vs Bangladesh at the Oval

[jakarta]

Could be a bit of a banana skin following the last 'batting' performance?

Remember the Bangas turning over Australia in 2005 when they didn't take them seriously and tried to smash them out of the game...

Won't be the same team playing, think Roy should be reconsidered though as he's not done much.

 

[Simster]

How many will Jason Roy make? I'll go for 13.

Perhaps Bairstow will play instead of Roy........

Rashid dropped, Ball comes in, looks like Stokes is trusted to bowl.

England win toss and will give the Bangas first dip.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Problems here without Rashid and Woakes off the pitch with an injury

Well, this is going well, isn't it?

Bangladesh 184/2 (35ov)

 

[Titanic]

Mushfiqur Rahim 50* (48 balls, 4 fours)

199-2 (37 overs)

 

[Papa Lazarou]

12 overs to go, runs flowing from 2 set batsmen, only 2 wickets down. 209/2 - I can see us chasing 340 here.

 

[Titanic]

Ball going all round the park... 10 off that over... 51 from 7 overs... 209-2 (38)

'Chasing' is a bit strong don't you think?

 

[CHAPPERS]

Is this a textbook Oval surface or did we just plan poorly with two creaking bowlers and no attacking leggy?

 

[Titanic]

Tamim Iqbal 100* (124 balls, 11 fours, 1 six)

214-2 (39 overs)

 

[Ernest]

Lose this and we're just about out, forgotten how to bowl to stop runs today

 

[Pantani]

As per usual with England a tournament starts and we lose our heads. Why has Rashid been dropped? An incredibly poor decision. He is England's leading ODI wicket taker since the last world cup. Why did we chose to bowl? Because we underestimated the Bangladeshi's, and thought we would just roll them over and win at a canter. That is partly why Rashid was dropped too, they obviously just thought these Bangladeshi's do not like fast bowlers or bouncers and they will crumble. If we lose this it will be because of arrogance and poor thinking from the beginning.
