22A Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 Thrilling finish and a fine performance by the tail enders. Once again though, it was the opening batsmen who let the side down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 Bangladesh really are starting to look the real deal now though. A good young side that really want to win, I enjoy watching them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Batty actually getting played... wow, its not as if there was in an form left arm spinner who would have provided another variable rather than playing 2 off spinners. Kinda feel bad for Hameed, feels like they've shoved Duckett to the top because he's in form and didn't want to drop anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILINFRANCE Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 I imagine (hope) that Hameed will open with Cook in the next test, Duckett will go in at three and allow Root to revert to his favoured position of 4, at the expense of Ballance. We shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 Batty looking an inspired pick, reckon Leach would of had a couple already on this pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big C Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 Its a close call on which will be higher in the first innings, Ballance's runs or Batty's wickets. My money is on Ballance just shading it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 These two have to try and tip the lead above 150-180. I think anything above that will be a tough chase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
