[Rifat]

Last Match Fizz went Missing, in the South Africa Match, Fizz was brilliant. We certainly need Fizz A+ game to win against England.

Yh then shakib has to come at no.4. Cause Liton is a proper opener or one down batsman. I think it would be better for the team if Liton comes at 3.

[WarWolf]

inshaAllah we will win against England.

This is wc match. Not a bilateral series. Pakistan shows wc matches are different. England is a good team but they are very beatable in a world cup. We have beaten them twice. We also pushed them very hard in 2007 in a low scoring game if it wasn’t for Mr. Paul Collingwood

[Fazal]

Any chance of rain i.e. point bhaga bhagi.

What a fielder Mr. Collingwood was. One of the modern masters in the art of fielding.

[Rifat]

One obvious change for me: Mithun out -> Rubel Hossain in.

I like Mithun. he has grit and he has fight. yes he prevents batting collapses but at the same time, we need that extra bite in our bowling and Rubel provides that bite.

The rest of the changes are based on emotion. Mushfiqur ain't going anywhere, we have to live with his keeping and hope he doesn't screw up anymore. If Mushfiqur was to really give up the gloves, it should have been done 6 months ago. Last minute keeper changing, not sure if Liton or Mithun if up for it....that too in the middle of the most important tournament of their lives

[Rifat]

Personally, I am always fired up every time Bangladesh plays England. I can't stand the Arrogance and snobbery...

[Shehwar]

Rain forecasted for Saturday though.

Gutsy player Collingwood was! Ian Bell is still one of my favorite batsman from that team. Was never a big fan of flintoff, kp, harmison or broad.

I thought Simon Jones was a good bowler. There was another bowler i liked, i forgot his name. Ashraful was on strike where he hit the stumps but didn't dislodge the stump. Idk if anyone knows that bowler’s name. Also, I think Aftab Ahmed played a solid innings against England in that famous 2005 tour in a test match.

My cousin cancelled his allocated ticket due to work commitments. It’s been sent in the post though and we’ve received it. Now we’ve got the time off from work so can attend. Will the ticket be valid? Don’t wanna drive 3 hours for them to say cancelled ticket. Any advice guys? Do they scan the ticket or just look at it etc.

At BC we should organize a rain dance globally. We really dont need to play this game.

It was Chris Tremlett.

[Tausif]

I hope we can do something amazing here and win. I expected us to lose all of first 3 games but we won 1 and came to close winning another so you never know. Let's see.

Quite right. If I am not mistaken was on debut, and Ash was the hatrick in his very first over

[fush_montor]

what are the chances of a washout tomorrow? won’t mind the 1 point..

[simon]

Not so much rain predicted for tomorrow it seems, also the possibility of rain gets lower as the day passes.

I would mind. Would rather see a game and a chance to get a hattrick on the english.

the match is in cardiff where so far green wickets have been the norm...add to that overcast conditions and the toss becomes decisive, which means we can be at a disadvantage before the match even begins.. we can and have beaten Eng, but getting a point with a few free days to regroup won’t be the worst outcome either...unlike today’s pak v sl where pak may feel hard done by

Rngland is fearful now with the loss to Pak whom they beat left and right few weeks back. They will be cautious. If we are fearless and play a game like we did against SA, sky is the limit.

[Rifat]

In Cardiff, that fourth seamer is a MUST.

No disrespect to Mithun. but for Me, Rubel MUST play for Mithun.

We should Bowl first...
