The Teaboy Oct 2016 9:07am, 13 Oct 2016 14,765 posts	0 The Teaboy Greig got clean bowled a lot that series - a couple of times by Roberts and twice by the Whispering Death at the Oval.
Atonal Miserabilist (AFKA TRO) Oct 2016 9:14am, 20 Oct 2016 13,678 posts	0 Atonal Miserabilist (AFKA TRO) Forgot this was on until I drove to work and we had a flash 'another wicket has gone in Bangladesh, xxxx has the details' - had a brief glimmer of excitement that we'd be bowling but no, of course not..... Now 146-5, it's a Bunsen apparently. We're doomed, DOOMED......
Wriggling Snake Oct 2016 9:24am, 20 Oct 2016 13,347 posts	0 Wriggling Snake I've had half an eye on it, one or two shit shots basically, yes, we're DOOMED.

Wriggling Snake Oct 2016 9:36am, 20 Oct 2016 13,349 posts	0 Wriggling Snake actually, 83-4, 106-5 now 173-5, going relatively well

Uyuni Oct 2016 1:32pm, 20 Oct 2016 695 posts	0 Uyuni Matches against Bangladesh seem to be hugely entertaining recently. I hope that they tour over here soon, although doubtless they would end up playing a test in Chester-le-Street in April or something which would hardly be fair
Doctor K Oct 2016 1:56pm, 20 Oct 2016 3,851 posts	0 Doctor K Very good recovery in the end I think. 300 would put us in a great position. Disappointed not to see Hameed start (obv) ideal temperament for this sort of game. How about ditching Ballance, push Duckett down the order a touch and open with Hameed next test and see how he does.
Atonal Miserabilist (AFKA TRO) Oct 2016 2:09pm, 20 Oct 2016 13,685 posts	0 Atonal Miserabilist (AFKA TRO) Yep, Duckett has earned a start, no question and Ballance has bloody well earned being dropped....(which should have allowed Hameed to start as well).
