Bangladesh tour of England, May-July 2010

[Owzat]

Bangladesh is way much better then Zimbabwe.

I would like to see Bangladesh win one game here but the current English side is too hot too handle!!

If Zimbabwe weren't intent on destroying themselves with their politics and selections I might be able to agree, but jury is definitely out on which is better, or probably more correctly, worse

Both sides lack any great bowlers, maybe ICC will finally wake up and create a second tier so they can conclusively prove which one is the better second rate side

Bangladesh is not at all better then Zimbabwe at any cost. They may be equal if not below but if we consider all past history of both teams then Zimbabwe is way way ahead of Bangladesh. Now on present series, I think it will be a very easy series for England a they are in their prime form after many years while Bangladesh are at worst form to say the least, yet on past record Bangledsh always played well in English conditions so I will be not much surprised if they perform well in any match or may be win it.
But yes if Bangladesh team will keep on displaying their miserable minnow attitude their status should be canceled by ICC and instead give Afghanistan or any other minnow nation a chance because it is a long time since everyone and specially Bangladeshi nation seeing these players thrashing by almost all teams of the world and yet they haven't improved like 10%.

Why do you follow them then?? You are just wasting more time and energy by complaining about them all the time. Just stop coming to Bangla series threads. I dont wanna see your posts in here again. Just stop whining so much and get a life. Please be gone.

Wehhhh as if that's gonna stop me from posting in here, this just motivates me to whine even more.

Can't believe Bangladesh get to play another game at Lord's

Bangladesh have drawn only 6 matches so far and most of them have been rain affected matches and Zimbabwe after only 39 matches had drawn 17 already. Bangladesh are hopeless, they are never gonna become a good side and we keep observing these horrible performances from them time and again and still ICC keep them as a test team and talk about test cricket dying, wow. Also they have played 7 test matches already this year which is just unacceptable for the health of test cricket. ICC should send these teenagers to WCL and take on teams like Ireland and Afghanistan and if they can beat them then they can return to tests.

Actually Bangladesh have been terrible in all forms of the game not only in tests, they just make cricket one sided with all these teenagers taking on the big cricketing giants, you can never expect a good game like that.

Bangladesh's status will never be cancelled because the BCCI supports them.:friends:love

I see the ECB are persisting with Yardy, Bresnan and Wright for the forthcoming ODI series.

I see the ECB are persisting with Yardy, Bresnan and Wright for the forthcoming ODI series.

Yardy I'm fine with. He did pretty well in the Aus series. He didn't get a load of wickets but was economical. Never really liked Bresnan in the side IMO. 1 wicket in 5 games is rubbish. Batted decently, but he's in the side more for his bowling. Wright is a hard case, didn't do too flash with bat or ball. Rather Wright than Bresnan though.

 

[Howsie]

Perhaps Bresnan wouldn't look as bad if you didn't open the bowling with him, surely it would make much more sense to open with Stuart Broad seeing as he's your number one bowler?

Seemed like a good series to give Rashid another chance.

Some good news for 3D lovers: the 1st ODI of England vs Bangladesh will be broadcast in HD en 3D.

 

[McLOVIN]

[ZexyZahid]

I heard it during a Sky broadcast. I went to search some information about it and it resulted in this:

[McLOVIN]

Well, this would be the one time that I ever thought about going to Eng. I never watched a Int cricket from the stadium, so hell with 3D.

Next NFL superbowl better be in 3D!!

 

[drainpipe32]

They should hold it back for the Ashes....

 

[Robelinda]

My sources tell me the home summer for us will be 3D. Apparently its all ready to go, hence Sky are using it now.

 

[drainpipe32]

The Ashes would be a better launch, is what I'm saying. But I suppose it's a bad TV time slot for the Brits.
