"The Gentleman's game"- Cricket - World Cup 2019 Special

Last game of the tour. T20 game vs Pakistan. England team:

Roy, Hales, Root, Morgan, Buttler, Stokes, Ali, Plunkett, Rashid, Jordan, Willey

aka the ODI team

Surprised we're playing a full strength team. Thought we might see Billings, Dawson and Mills get a game.

Just one T20?

I really don't like T20 format. Doesn't feel like cricket.



England quite poor so far.

Yeah, this has been pretty shocking from us. Good bowling from Pakistan but too many stupid shots.

wtf happened to England

England have announced their test and ODI squads for the Bangladesh tour.

Test:
Alastair Cook (Essex), Haseeb Hameed (Lancashire), Joe Root (Yorkshire), Gary Ballance (Yorkshire), Jonny Bairstow (Yorkshire), Jos Buttler (Lancashire), Moeen Ali (Worcestershire), Ben Duckett (Northamptonshire), Ben Stokes (Durham), Chris Woakes (Warwickshire), Zafar Ansari (Surrey), Gareth Batty (Surrey), Adil Rashid (Yorkshire), Stuart Broad (Nottinghamshire), James Anderson (Lancashire), Steve Finn (Middlesex), Mark Wood (Durham)

Hameed is a 19 year old opener, Duckett only 21/22 and had a great year, and Batty actually played tests for England in 2005 Also four spinners in that squad with Ali, Rashid, Batty and Ansari.

ODI squad:
Jason Roy (Surrey), Ben Duckett (Northamptonshire), Sam Billings (Kent), Moeen Ali (Worcestershire), Jonny Bairstow (Yorkshire), James Vince (Hampshire), Jos Buttler (Lancashire), Ben Stokes (Durham), Liam Dawson (Hampshire), Chris Woakes (Warwickshire), David Willey (Yorkshire), Adil Rashid (Yorkshire), Liam Plunkett (Yorkshire), Mark Wood (Durham), Jake Ball (Nottinghamshire)

Bangladesh are not pushovers as they used to be and England aren't very comfortable in Indian subcontinent, so this will interesting series I think.

Some new names I have never heard of

Batty

Yea England struggle in subcontinent but I am confident of win in both test and ODi series tbh

What was he even doing

Sort of shot I used to play

The end of that match was amazing btw. Some Middlesex bowler took the last three wickets with a hat-trick and won them the whole damn division.

Yea just saw it. Roland-Jones

First ODI between England and Bangladesh. Bangladesh throwing the game away from a strong position

Damn completely forgot


Will watch the highlights now

This win was all Ball and Rashid. But Bangladesh should have honestly won.

If Kayes stays in Bangladesh win. That he was stumped on a wide ball was such a game changer.

Bangladesh dropped Stokes twice as well, and his 100 was crucial.

These are good signs that this will be a competitive series though.

Really should have won this. Team selection, batting order and fitness issues let us down.

2nd ODI going on right now.

England won the toss and decided to bowl fist. Bangladesh currently 127-5 with 16 overs to go. Has been a really good performance from England's bowlers so far.

182-7 now

Rashid with some impressing bowling once again.

Turning to SA vs Aus for a bit (showing highlights for the 3rd ODI). Amla is so good.

Not sure what is more impressive. Someone called Willey or that six by Mortaza


edit: what a terrible over by Willey

What an effort by Mortaza man

good total by Bangla

Australia were smashed by Sri Lanka now they're getting smashed by South Africa.

India put up 557 against New Zealand in a test. 211 for Kholi, 188 for Rahane - record partnership apparently.

Didn't know NZ were that bad nowadays

lol that was awful by Vince.

If Bangaldesh wins this, then Mortaza is an instant MOTM
