England v Bangladesh

[eddiesmith]

The 2 good sides are doing battle tonight in a Day/Night contest at Trent Bridge

England have won the toss and will bat first

They have made 2 changes, Giles and Chris Tremlett in for Gough and Solanki

Trescothick
Strauss
Vaughan
Collingwood
Flintoff
Pietersen
Jones
Giles
Lewis
Tremlett
Harmison

Be interesting to see if bangladesh can even take a wicket against a decent team as they have failed to so far in their only encounter, if they bat like that again they could make 400 without loss

[Astill]

Hi,

Back down to Earth today for the tigers I think.

:)

[Astill]

They are getting owned!

Australia could learn a lot here.

:)

[eddiesmith]

I wonder if the Aussies, fans and players, are watching this game? England showing everyone how to play one day cricket.

Bangladesh aint bowling worse than they did against Australia, just England is a much better team

England 0/83 12 overs
Trescothick 42*(46)
Strauss 33*(31)

[spring6]

Yeah not to go out on the booze the night before a match.

Anyway, where is your compassion? We felt sorry for the poor little guys.

Compassion? Haha, the Australian cricket team showing compassion, that would be a first :p

Talking about compassion, highlight of the series so far, the young kid doing the fielding on the outside tripped over the covers getting the ball. Atleast he showed more effort than any Aussies have so far this series in fielding the ball :p

[spring6]

We have turned over a new and compassionate leaf. We even felt sorry for you guys. Now that we got the charity matches out of the way though we can get on with it. :)

[sherb]

The 15th over goes for 4, 6, 4, 4, nb, 4, 0 - 23 runs.

This has the potential to get very ugly, England are 0/128 after 15 overs.

I think the honeymoon is over for the Bangers!

[eddiesmith]

4644nb40. Great over from Trescothick, 0/128 (15 overs)

This is what cricket is all about, Bangladesh must be pretty ********, oh wait, they beat Australia didnt they?

A record score coming up tonight, first double century to a batsman as well, maybe even 2 if Strauss wakes up

[Kingpin]

England are 0/128 after 15 overs.
Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaark :eek:
Is this on FTA?

[eddiesmith]

Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaark :eek:
Is this on FTA?

No, sorry, you only get to see the worst team in action on FTA, you dont get to see the battles between the 2 best sides in the comp because downunder people only care about their side instead of watching good cricket :)

Damn, Trescothick is gone, here comes Englands version of Michael Bevan

Not making Australia look to good, losing to this dismal side :)

Ah ok, yeah I can't even get it on the radio either, stuck listening to http://sports.ninemsn.com.au/img/logos/wimbledon.gif

Looks like I'll have to follow via live scores.

England 1/147 (18.1 Overs)

[Kingpin]

ME Trescothick: (c) Shahriar Nafees (b) Nazmul Hossain [85] (65b 14x4 2x6)

Nice innings :eek:

[eddiesmith]

I am glad Australia is over there as Vaughan is hopelessly out of form and Aus are always good for getting him into form

[Kingpin]

England: 2/149 (19.4 Overs)

MP Vaughan: (b) Nazmul Hossain [0] (8b 0x4 0x6)

[Astill]

Hi,

Yeah a shame about our captain.

Looks like we sent Feddy in next :cool:

If he plays well then all records will be broken.

As I type 1st 6 :)

Enjoy!

Not another one, hopefully Collingwood can stick around with Strauss and provide some entertainment for the next 10-12 overs and then go out and send in Pietersen to smash a quick fire century

[hirthy]

With a name like Collingwood ya wouldn't expect him to make many runs.

[Kingpin]

England: 3/180 (26 Overs)

Need to keep our heads down - and make sure we post 300+

[eddiesmith]

300+? Are you kidding, we should be aiming for 400+

[Aussie-Basher]

300+? Are you kidding, we should be aiming for 400+

Which was probably what Freddie thought when he holed out ...

I would hope they try to secure the 300-350 - then crash the last 2 or 3 overs ... Be nice to have wickets remaining ...

[eddiesmith]

No Pietersen? :( :mad: :(

[eddiesmith]

Strauss 100*(100)
Collingwood 52*(53)

3/270 (40 overs) 400 may be just out of reach, especially without Pietersen

[weevil]

Yeah you really want one of these 2 to get out so the kid can have a blast.

[eddiesmith]

Pietersen aint batting next, he is sitting there out of uniform, Jones is padded up

342/3 45.1 overs

Collingwood 90*

[eddiesmith]

42 runs required off 22 balls, last 50 came off only 20 balls. Strauss is playing the scoop shot over fine leg for his boundaries

[weevil]

...That said they are hitting around 15 an over at the mo...

[eddiesmith]

13 off that over, on track

Collingwood is 99*, Strauss about 147*

[eddiesmith]

Congratulations to Good Old Paul Collingwood on a magnificent century off about 77 balls. Let the fun begin now the personal milestones are out of the way

Congratulations to Good Old Paul Collingwood on a magnificent century off about 77 balls. Let the fun begin now the personal milestones are out of the way

We still have 1 team milestone remaining ... ;)

[eddiesmith]

Thats what I mean about the fun beginning, big overs needed for that

4 balls, 12 runs for the record, 13 for the 400

200 partnership up in the last shocking over off only 143 balls

We'll have to wait until the next match to break the 400 :eek:

A very good chance for England to score that extra 9 runs and crack the 400 in an innings on Thursday :p :D

[Copernicus]

This Strauss kid seems as if he can play. I still haven't had a single chance to watch him play. Bloody yank TV.

[weevil]

Tapash Baisya with 0 for 87 from 7 overs!

[eddiesmith]

Equal 5th worst figures in a match, yet he is the only one up there with only 7 overs, if he had kept going England would have got the 400, shocking last 2 overs by the Poms

Most suprising thing from the following, stats, Brett lee is only there twice for conceding more than 80 runs :p

Unfortunately Bangladesh will be deprived of a shot at the record for batting second.

[weevil]

Twelve and a half an over is just not what you want from one of your opening bowlers.

[weevil]

...Man, having a peek at Wimbledon...the first set of the Haynes v Williams match was sensational.

[The Floodbuster]

Nicole Pratt is so butch, a big turn off.

[Nel Mangle]

lets hope jon lewis doesnt get picked for too many matches.
looks like a modest plodder who aint international class.
Looks like a librarian and bowls like a librarian.

Think it time the Aussies pulled their finger out and got this tour going ...

[mrcracker]

I would count Ashraful's innings as the best by a Bangla player in ODI history. 94 off just 52 balls is a sensation. Almost back to back centuries against two of the best bowling attacks in the world. If he had reached his 100 he would have slotted into 5th spot on the all time fastest 100s list behind Afridi (37 balls), Lara and Afridi (45 balls) and Jayasuriya (48 balls).

Flintoff with 30 off 4 overs takes the most stick and goes wicketless against the Banglas for the second time. Tremlett has had a buzz over him this year for his England potential and he may have done enough to keep his spot with 4 wickets.

It is becoming increasingly obvious that Vaughan is the worst player on the English team. His duck off 8 balls shows his form, his career average is 28, the next worst average from an England batsman or allrounder is Collingwood on 32. He is the only player from the top 6 not averaging over 30 and not to have scored a century and his scoring rate is poor. It is acceptable to score slowly if you are accumulating runs in tough games, Martyn and Dravid are examples, but a low average and slow scoring rate indicates he is unable to get himself in and drive on to a big score.

[Cooldude]

This match just proves how bad Aus actually played to get beat

[red+black]

ashraful should have been out on the hat trick ball with the bails getting hit yet staying on. might have been a 250+ win otherwise. it was good watching records tumble, shame that vaughan is so crap, and that pieterson didn't bat.

[thewhippersnapper]

Nicole Pratt is so butch, a big turn off.

It's disgusting.

[Jaymin]

Mohammad Ashraful 94 from 52 balls
including the fastest 50 in ODI history off 22 balls

Congratulations to the poms for letting ashraful into the record books.

Downward spiral starts now....

[eddiesmith]

It wasnt the fastest 50 in ODI history, he has a few players ahead of him, the fastest is 17 balls by Jayasuria?

In ODI#3 (26/8/72), A Knott (ENG) scored the first 50 at a run a ball (50 from 50). I'd guess that Ian Chappell probably held the record next with innings in ODI#10 and ODI#11 of 83 from 68 and 86 from 67 respectively.

[Ljp86]

Another pathetic effort from Bangladesh, another reason why their test status should be revoked. I know they beat Australia, but a winning % of around 10% in ODI's isn't good enough to warrant test status.

I know - I am sure the England Cricket team must be asking themselves so many more questions than Ponting and the Boys

I mean - they'd have to be if you examine this evidence from last 7 days ..

England beat Bangladesh by 168 runs
Bangladesh beat Australia by 5 wickets

relax ,thats the sound of "straw clutching" .
Focus on the one tiny thing that might be classed as a negative and make a big deal about it in true classless aussie fashion.
and then proceed to ignore everything else that happened in the game.
Like the fact that collingwood was the first ever player to score a ton and take 6 wickets in a ODI or the fact that is was the 2nd or 3rd highest total in the history of one dayers...
or the fact that the bango's got crushed in the overall score.
