Post Match Analysis
David Gower: Welcome back. Well we have another comprehensive win for England, with which they win the series 2-0.
Michael Vaughan and Simon Jones have been named man of the series or rather men of the series. And I dont think anyone can question that?
Ian Botham: Definately not, unless you are an idiot ofcourse. Vaughan has been superb with the bat, I mean two double hundreds is no joke, regardless of who you are playing against. Its requires lots of concentration, skill and confidence, all of which are very much present in the England captain.
And Simon Jones has also performed exceedingly well in this series. Fifteen wickets is awesome stuff really for a lad who has pretty much been in the shadows of Matthew Hoggard and Steve Harmison. But with James Anderson also doing well, it'll be interesting to see who England go with for the Ashes.
David Gower: and I also thought it was fair to name Paul Collingwood the Man of the Match.
Ian Botham: Well Vaughan would have taken that one too had he not already received the MOM at Lords, so I guess we can afford not to select him again. But Collingwood has done an excellent allround job for England, and if he does well in the one dayers too I am pretty certain he will be one of the six batsmen in the England starting lineup for the Ashes.
David Gower: And Bangladesh have had a pretty disappointing tour, but I am sure they will take a lot out of this. They surely have learnt a lot from these two test matches that will help them in future tournaments and tours.
Ian Botham: Yes, and lets hope they do indeed take something from here and do well in the future. But its not over for them just as yet. They have now got to deal with both England and Australia in the Natwest Series.
David Gower: Well that brings us to the end of this broadcast. Its been a pretty entertaining test series, and it was nice to see some of the younger England players take responsibility in their hands and do well. Bangladesh havent had the best of times, but lets hope this can be a good learning curve in their development into a good international side in the coming years.
Anyways, we will meet you next for the Twenty20 International match between England and Australia LIVE from the Rosebowl, on the 14th of June. Till then from all of us here at the Riverside ground, its goodbye.
