Good morning! It’s Wednesday, so England are taking on Bangladesh in Abu Dhabi. Best batting track biscuit - KitKat? NICE? Too many divots in a custard creme I reckon. “Loved the rich tea pitch description, I’m now craving them though and the only thing I can find is a Hobnob, which would definitely be a spinners wicket if it was a pitch.
Reckon he would be a big fan of ‘You’ve been Framed’, creasing up at people falling off trampolines and at dogs bounding into french windows etc. “Do we think that the reaction to the run out earlier is the most emotion Chris Silverwood has ever shown as England coach? He was absolutely guffawing.
The James Walsh who wrote in about watching Bangladesh at the start of the match is NOT the James who wrote the Spin. Oh dear, it seems I’ve got my colleagues in a mix. Roy then pings Mustafizur for two fours, one down the ground, and an inside edge which skirts the stumps and the fielders. Mustafizur has a huge appeal for an lbw first ball, it hits Roy about knee high, but seems to pitch outside leg and Bangladesh don’t review. We need to reassess a lot of things.”Ģnd over: England 18-0 (Roy 14 Buttler 1) Pace from the other end. We are much more skill hitters than power hitters. If we don’t get good starts it gets difficult later on. Mahmadullah: “I think we were very disappointed in the way we were batting, it was a very good wicket to bat on.
Jason Roy form is crucial, is was nice for him and Dawid to get some time in the middle, great to see him in good touch.”ĭisappointment for Bangladesh, who need a win urgently. I think it is a huge compliment to how our white ball cricket has come along, the 2019 win has lent itself to T20 cricket as well. “Our bowlers have really started the tournament very well, backed up in the field with very good ground fielding and catching. Their bowling has been very good, especially the relative new England T20 boys Tymal Mills, Chris Woakes, Moeen Ali, and although their batting hasn’t been fully tested yet, Roy was superb today.Įoin Morgan. Another ego-boost of a performance for England who beat West Indies with 70 balls up their sleeve and Bangladesh with 35.
