Creampuff 22,628 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Pakistan won't have a decent ODI side for a while yet. They need to completely rethink their attitude towards short format cricket to bring themselves to where the likes of Eng/Aus/NZ are. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiviGer 648 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Can't believe Morgan and Hales have turned down the Bangladesh trip. Possibly Hales jumping before he was pushed in the test side? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hales in the ODI/T20 side is difficult to replace, hes not a test opener. Morgan has been out of touch for a while. Put Bairstow in there purely as a batsman, Buttler with the gloves and its solved.

I agree with TEFTONG to an extent, but Morgan threw in the fact a bomb went off whilst he was playing in the IPL a few years ago as part of the reason why he has refused to tour - Morgan has subsequently played in IPL tournaments in later years and no doubt, he will be making himself available for the IPL next year and the test series in India. Hales is taking a massive risk with his career. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hales is taking a massive risk with his career. With the cash the IPL throw at players there is no real surprised he didn't turn it down. Is Bangladesh more vulnerable to attack than London? Agree with you on Hales, especially with his test career. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely there is someone at county level they could take and develop! Will be interesting to see if the hameed gamble pays off. Disappointed to see ballance go. No better than Vince who has been left behind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEFTONG 60,392 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 This has been a very interesting Test match in Chittagong. Some poor shot selections and some terrific bowling..Especially from the 18 year old Bangladesh lad. Looking like the GINGERS of Stokes and Bairstow are going to rescue the England Team here, Plus the fact the Bangladeshi's just don't have the necessary experience to chase down a lead of anything over 230 or so..Which if I haven't jinxed it..England should be getting here..160 in front..5 wickets in hand..Bairstow and Stokes looking good..

TEFTONG 60,392 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 England squeak home as the brave Bangladeshis fall 22 runs short...Very good Test Match..Stokes the MotM..England will have to improve before heading onto India.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creampuff 22,628 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 England's spin options simply aren't good enough. Bizarre decision not to select the best spinners in the County Championship and instead go for the likes of Zafar Ansari... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangersMedia 35,961 Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 That was a great game of cricket. Our first test against the Windies was excellent too. Second test has been a bit more one sided but day 5 tomorrow and the Windies are battling to save the game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiviGer 648 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Was a great test match. Cook said to expect changes for the next test. I Think Hameed will come in at the top of the order and Dawson will come in for Rashid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he had 8 reversed,to be fair when the ball is turning sideways like that it must a nightmare to umpire. He's doing the second test as well.

Don't mind Swann and Vaughan. Wonder how long it will take KP to talk about how he should still be playing for England? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
