Lrrr Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 Yeah very poor drop, anyone else find the Bangladesh fans (and other Asian fans in general) reactions annoying? Basically cheering a single as if it were a 4... May be because I'm trying to do work at the same time so look up expecting something to have happened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 Bairstow was an interesting choice as the first 12th man replacement, sending a keeper on to field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobBobSuperBob Posted June 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 Ball not quick enough to hurry batsmen at this level and food and drink Lacks variations Think we could be chasing a fair target today - 300 plus Lols like Stokes will have to bowl at least 8 too Joe Root to fill in a few ? Our bowling lacks variation and any real top quality - will need to bat very well in this tournament to progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 Don't know why we're persisting with Ball, plenty of better seam bowlers around in the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBobSuperBob Posted June 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 Got away with about 30-40 runs there Peach of a wicket and if we bat properly we should get these Sorry Ball is not an International bowler - certainly in one day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
