England tour of Bangladesh, 2023 (3 ODI & 3 T20I)

Shakib after carrying Bangladesh to another win:

The win in the dead rubber probably saved Tamim from being sacked.

With Bangladesh,I feel the nosey nature of the Board President needs to cease if they are to go further in cricketing terms. Find it funny that a person who hasn't played top notch cricket ends up criticizing his team continually.
 
England going with the Johannesburg Super Kings strategy of picking 4 batters and a bunch of all rounders.
Waiting for someone to go with the DSG strategy of picking no batters and stuffing your lineup full of wicketkeepers and all-rounders
 
Wow, Bangladesh are actually winning here, and it's not a low scoring affair.
 
England didn't do well in the middle overs. Clearly showed they missed Livingstone and other big hitters.

Btw, when was Shakib re-instated as captain? Last time I saw Bangladesh, Nurul, the keeper was their full time captain.
 
Massive results for Bangladesh these… unlike the wins against Australia and New Zealand these are on decent T20 pitches and they’ve had one of their best potential batters step up big time. The pace trio also seems to work very well with each one of them offering a different variation. They’ve got the spine of a decent T20I side well set already and all they need are a few pieces to spruce things up.

I honestly believe they should let Shahriar play in more T20 leagues globally to gain experience on playing his brand of cricket with better quality. He has the natural aggression that most batters in the system lack and trying to fix his woeful technique in the system could take years and result in him potentially losing out on the natural aggression that made him special in the first place. I feel it would be far better to let him ‘Frankenstein’ his technique into a working state that may be suspect but would still yield viable results.
 
What a miserable end to the winter that was. The players just seemed tired and disinterested in that T20 series.

Well done to Bangladesh and all that, but not really good enough from England. We should be putting teams like that away.
