Match Thread: Bangladesh vs England | ODI 1, Mirpur | Pocha shaban series

[Eshen]

An interesting piece from Jonny Bairstow -

Bangladesh is so hot and humid that I burned over 6,000 calories in a day!

He can easily gain bay those calories...

04) Mushfiq (If Sabbir plays at #3 then I'd like to have Riyad at #6 as finisher)
05) Sakib (for obvious reason)
06) Riyad ( He needs to be the finisher when Sabbir bats at #3)
07) Mosaddek (Same batting as Nasir but His loopy off-spin could be better than Nasir's flat trajectory)
08) Masrafee (for obvious reason)
09) Mosarraf ( Two SLA would be obvious spin bowling option)
10) Al-Amin (His death-over bowling is way better than Shafiul and we'd need it)
11) Taskin (Good chance for him to improve his accuracy during initial overs)

Al amin will leak plenty of runs.. no dpubt

[Zeeshan]

Just start the game already....

I was wondering why Joe Root did not play the practice match but then I realize he is not in the ODI side, only for tests!

I believe he has been rested given the long India series next month.

Oh btw, the weather in Dhaka today has not been good. Has been raining since 6am today. Rain has got lighter, hope it stays away tomorrow.

"I'm pretty laid back about it. My theory's a bit different. I think you're probably not safe anywhere, if you're meant to go you're meant to go.

"It doesn't mean I'm going to go out but so far it's been the best we've ever had in terms of security, and I think any other country would do well to beat it," he said.

What? How do you know that?

[Eshen]

Mash confirmed it will not be a low-slow wicket, as our own batsmen struggle on that sort of wickets.

[Eshen]

Only change from last match - Imrul in place of Soumya, as per Isam.

Buttler is busy with his reverse sweep...in one of the posts by England cricket on IG.

[One World]

No pressure for Bangladesh.

Read it somewhere last year. He met her when he played DPL back in 2011.

Game over for us then. Flat wicket e amader chance nai. England have a freaking long long batting line up and they will go hard from ball 1 for sure

Actually I agree with Mash here. England may have a good batting line up. But we have bowled well in last few serie. I know Mosta is not here, but he was not here in all the series.

I believe the team management knows what they are doing. I have faith on them.

A reduced over match spells disaster for Bangladesh as English team is full of quality LOI bats. We on the other hand, have Mushy, Shakib, Mosaddek.

[MHRAM]

As for the kind of wicket we should prepare, a sporting wicket won't be bad but we need to ensure that the wicket is not going to be flat at all. There should be some grip for the spinners and swing available for the pacers.

I say win toss, and make England bat first.

Feeling tension.
Not very confident after an average series against the Afguns.

You have to remember that the Afghans have good spinners and their batters play spinners well too.

Bowl wicket to wicket, no Mushy/Vimrul drops and we have a chance...
