Geez Broad's batting has been horrible lately.
England Tour Of Bangladesh 2010
- Thread starter Ayub 95
- Start date
Rubel's ball to Prior looked very out, what a delivery it was. Vicious swing 
Great bowling by Shakib, 27 maidens and 4 wickets. Just hope he gets a 5 fer tomorrow or at least somebody wraps the innings up quickly.
BD will need to set England a target of around 250-300 to have any chance of winning this game.

I gather from reading 606 on BBC that the issue of cameras was central to BCB's decision not to go with referrals. If that is true then they only have themselves to blame for decisions going against them, not that they mightn't have used up their two with excess appealing before they got to the decisions that were wrong.
Sterling effort from Bell, holding the side together. Bresnan putting a few runs on the board as well won't do his selection prospects any harm, although I do hope he and Broad aren't picked for 'pleasing to the eye' bowling and being able to bat rather than wickets taken against decent sides. I always did love the argument that players like Flintoff bowled better than their figures suggest, yet other "lesser bowlers" managed to achieve better figures.

Well done Bell! Of course people will say "oh it is only Bangladesh". Well played mate and Bresnan looks pretty savvy with a piece of wood in his hand as well!
The feeling I get is that Shakib basically plays the Vettori role with the ball. He's not particularly aggressive but he is far superior to his teammates, which means batsmen just see him off and relieve pressure at the other end (a sentence which sounds like a horrible innuendo)

Well done umpires for screwing Bangladesh over. Reading on cricinfo England shouldn't have made half the runs they did but Bresnan and Prior got really luck and same for Bell.

that is well harsh, the camera's are apparently very expensive from what I remember the South African board saying, and bangladesh are neither a board with a massive turnover or a rich country.
They do not have themselves to blame, the umpiring has been poor and favourable to england, that should not be what a team expects to get from test level umpires.
bangladesh are way up against it skill wise compared to england, they could do without bad umpiring further tipping the scales.
That was a real shame. If Bangladesh could've kept their heads in the afternoon they could've still been in front. Siddons did them no favours, and his interview afterwards suggested he realised it.
They got wrapped up with the 'injustice'.
The ICC really need to look at this referral system. It should be in all countries or none at all. Mind you, it wouldn't have reversed all of the decisions today.
Let's hope Bangladesh knock over the final couple of wkts and then Tamin knocks a quick 50-100 and we could be in for a good finish.
Bangladesh have done better than I thought they would, and that's good for test cricket.

I'll bet they bottle it big time and we win by 10 wickets.
Habibul Bashar retires from all forms of the game | Bangladesh Cricket News | Cricinfo.com
Habibul Bashar retires, he was in good form in domestic cricket though but he was never gonna be picked again. He was our best test batsman and captain :hpraise

And also you cant blame bad umpiring on not having referral system. You cant use that as an excuse. What would you guys say if this happened 2 years ago??
Its funny some of the English users are saying "big deal" "bcb's fault" blah blah, rather then accepting the fact that you just got lucky. Bad umpiring did help you. Just stop trying to hide the fact. There is nothing to hide. Its clear as flip.

No-one's denied that Bangladesh have been on the end of some poor decisions (though most of them weren't as clear cut as many are making out), so I don't think there's any need for that rant. We know we've been on the end of some good luck, and no-one's hiding from that.
As for Bell getting some luck, I disagree. The 1 lbw call against him I don't think looked out live. Hawkeye suggested something different, but on first view I agreed with the umpires view, it certainly appeared to be going down, and looked a bit high too. Bresnan and Prior did get 2 very fortunate decisions though, both Bresnan's inside edge and Prior's lbw shout were clearly out. Happens in cricket, if the BCB didn't want to use the referral system, then that's their problem. Anyone suggesting some sort of bias against Bangladesh is miles wide of the mark, there is no way that International Umpires are making decisions that purposely favour 1 side.

KP LWB at 30, scored 45, extra 15
Prior LBW at 9, scored 62, extra 53
Bell LBW at 82, scored 138, extra 56
Bressnan Caugt on 5, on 74*, extra 69* and counting
So thats 193* runs, woulda been 247/7 at tea with only the tail remaining.
+ Tamim Iqbal's calls

It's not the 1st time. Every time we got this close to a game, same stuff happened.
It is biased, no 1 knows the why, but it is.

Seriously, move on. Bangladesh ended up on the end of a few poor decisions, big whoop, it happens to every side at least once.
Should be more worried about Shakib's negative bowling and captaincy, and the teams reactions after a couple of poor decisions. The cricket they played for most of the 2nd session of the day was abysmal. Letting a player like Bresnan make 74* is just embarrassing, irrespective of whether he should have been out on 5 or not. Letting him cash in against slow full tosses is just not good enough.
It's been a pretty terrible Test match on the whole. Most of the batting has been average at best given the flatness of the deck (bar Tamim and Bell), the captaincy from Cook and Shakib has been diabolical, some of the bowling has been dire and the umpiring has been terrible. Not been a great advert for the game at all, the standard of cricket has been below Test level, and the conditions haven't helped that. Seen 2 horrible Test pitches on this tour, been very disappointing.
