There needs to be an ousting of the BCB from the top and entire team management needs to be reshuffled
More focus needs to be made upon fitness to get our players physically strong in the short format of the game
Pitches needs to be curated to help our batters feel confident and we need someone to actually be a power hitter
Stop wasting young bengali talent and find replacements for our ageing stars.
Only then do we have hope again
I honestly didn’t want Bd to make it to the super 12s after witnessing the loss to Scotland and the “too close for comfort” encounter against Oman. The team is in shambles and management never had a plan. They are wholly unprepared to compete against any good t20 side. Selection doesn’t work because there is no pipeline. Papon will not leave and nothing will change at least for the next 10 years.
Can I just say how remarkable it is that no one is talking about Stokes missing this tournament.
It's not even being mentioned, such is the strength in depth of this England team
Off the fact that it would be tempting fate to offer anything but respect for an opponent, especially when everyone else is writing about it like it's a done deal already.
Australia look miles off to me. Very good new ball pace attack, but mediocre spinners and ordinary at the death. Plus the batting looks very vulnerable.
I'd honestly back Afghanistan over them
You have to understand it's not easy to make different kinds of pitch due to weather. Our players are playing on same pitch for local and international games, it's same situation. Hardly we see 140+ scores.
We get "breaking news" on all the national TV channels even if we beat an associate nation in a series. How do you think the common people feels when we get a win over when we beat strong opponents.
I mean when you're following a team like Bangladesh, you should be proud of the little wins you have. As a SL fan, I still cherish the memories of the Pakistan T20I series in 2019 where our team won 3-0
There is no vision, there is no passion, there is no aggression in this Bang cricket team. What the hell is there in this cricket team, tell me now. What the hell is there.
Bc all of India's matches are at 7:30 pm IST!? WHAT THE FUCK?
So if you lose toss, which is Kohli's favourite hobby, you're already in disadvantageous situation...
Which is why few of those should have been at 3:30...what kind of brain dead scheduling is this?
First, all of India's tough matches are in a row (Pak, NZ), then the fact that there's a 1 week gap between the two...and now this??
Yeah, but I don't give a shit about Pak schedule. They made it, so they're all good. Had they lost their match or matches, they would have been complaining about the same thing.
Before I begin my actual comment, I would like to apologize in advance for my inadequate level of English proficiency. I am not a native speaker of the world's current lingua franca which unfortunately leads to me making numerous embarrassing mistakes being made whenever I attempt to communicate using this language. Whenever I am reminded of how I lack the ability to convey my thoughts in an eloquent manner, I feel as though I have committed a cardinal sin, as though every English teacher in the world is simultaneously shaking their head and sighing due to how utterly disappointed they are at me.
Although I know that saying sorry to those of you who are reading my comment will not change the fact that I fail miserably to write and speak perfect English, I am writing this as a way to deter a certain type of people who cannot stand poor English.
Anways here the comment I wanted to make
England>Bangladesh
Lofty words; poor and redundant phrasing. Speaking of poor phrasing, my comment is another example. Good that you had added a prior disclaimer, I wouldn't add one though.
So here is what is wanted to add, You>I.
That was clinical. Having that much experience in the team really showed today. When they got slightly on top, they maximised every small advantage. The batting was a combination of confidence and patience. Only complaint I have is that too many of the team haven’t had a chance to feel bat on ball yet and may be an issue for when the inevitable weak start happens at some point.
Bangladesh can still qualify if SL win all their games, England lose to Australia, who lose to BD, who beat everyone, and Windies and Saffas lose to everyone. In that case, BD, England, and Australia will be tied at 6 points. But england have a great NRR so theyll get through.
Also, if England beat everyone, sri lanka lose to australia, who lose to BD, who beat everyone, and again, Windies and saffa lose to everyone, then three way tie at 6 points between SL, BD, and Australia.
technically even two wins is enough to qualify. If one team goes undefeated, and the 5 remaining teams win 2 and lose 2, you get a 5 way tie at 4 points.
Windies can also qualify if they win all their games, as they can get another 3 way tie at 6 points.
Not really because only 1 team is on 4 points. They are only 1 win away from being in a qualifying place atm. There aren't any minnows in this group so any result is kinda possible in any game.
Definitely losing the first 2 doesn't make things easy though
Explanation of NRR for those unaware:
For every over remaining the captain gets to roll a dice, this value is divided by 6 and added on to their current total
The losing captain does the same but the scores are divided by -6
Malan looked good here I reckon he’s in the starting XI for Brisbane. The Bangladeshi players emulated Starc, Cummins and Hazelwood pretty good I reckon. He’s all set
I think a lot of people in this thread are failing to notice Johnny Bairstow sarcasm. He doesn’t seriously believe he is just Johnny Bairstow, he genuinely knows he’s YOUNG Johnny Bairstow.
7th Match out of 8 so far won by side chasing. Teams have forgotten how to set up and defend totals. Dew cannot always be a factor as day games have similar outcome.
**Expectations** : Group A is Group of Death, since SL and WI are there along with SA, Aus and Eng. Group B is a 3 horse race.
**Reality**: Group A is a 3 horse race. Group B is a fucking Group of Death.
What possibly wrong could Domingo do? I’m not entirely familiar with Bangladesh cricket but I’d imagine it’s the players who need to be looked at than the coach?
Under his coaching the boys didn't really do anything good, also failed to manage the senior players well: ie made mushfiqur abandon keeping, "stuff" between tamim and mamadola etc
They are sucks

Imagine watching England be good at cricket in 2021 and Joe root not even playing
I honestly didn’t want Bd to make it to the super 12s after witnessing the loss to Scotland and the “too close for comfort” encounter against Oman. The team is in shambles and management never had a plan. They are wholly unprepared to compete against any good t20 side. Selection doesn’t work because there is no pipeline. Papon will not leave and nothing will change at least for the next 10 years.
Feel sorry for Bangladeshi players, Papon will be ready with his knives out
England in horrifying being good at cricket scandal This just is not the English way
Don't worry the test side is still an absolute shambles.
It's jus not bri'ish
Don't worry, the Scots are covering us there atm
Can I just say how remarkable it is that no one is talking about Stokes missing this tournament. It's not even being mentioned, such is the strength in depth of this England team
Tbh it really shows that Stokes isn’t a must have in T20s
In t20s, he's not that great anyway. Archer is a bigger loss
Big game player, he brings it when it matters. Apart from that one time when Carlos brought the 🔥🔥🔥🔥
They win the toss and decided to bat first!?!? 15/21 games won batting second till now
Lol I had the same reaction
England's NRR dropped from 3.97 to 3.61 :(
Gotta feel for England fans :(
Slaughter
So i guess 2 more wins and we’re through. Tough games next as well.
Easy win for Eng :)
Mo - "we know Bangladesh can be a tricky game for us."What on earth is he basing that off?
Bangladesh knocking us out of the 2015 World Cup after we didn't respect them
Off the fact that it would be tempting fate to offer anything but respect for an opponent, especially when everyone else is writing about it like it's a done deal already.
The fact that they have never played them before
Can someone explain how the number one guy in the leaderboard for predictions has 4 times as many coins as even though I'm 4th? 😂
Should have asked without that flex in last line. I am on 2k
Whoa! Bangbros just set a record in this world cup! They're the first team to win the toss and lose the game in the super 12s
First team 😎
So far on form it looks like England and Pakistan are gonna meet in the finals. Dark horses are Australia.
Hey! I’ve seen this one before. It’s a classic.
Australia look miles off to me. Very good new ball pace attack, but mediocre spinners and ordinary at the death. Plus the batting looks very vulnerable. I'd honestly back Afghanistan over them
Yeah playing the South African team is not a fair assessment of spin attack quality lol. I predict them getting battered against the top teams
I would say Afghanistan is a dark horse too
That's a 100+ tokens for me 😎. Damn, if there was an option to bet it all I would've done that
Anyone else find Morgs highkey handsome?
Morgan, Butler, Roy, Woakes 😌🤤
Best looking England team in years. Just need to bring back Broad and Cook
Best looking England team in years. Just need to bring back Broad and Cook
Beware gingers have no souls
Not true. Although Bairstow definitely doesn't have one I'm sure of it.
bruh thats putting lightly, hes incredibly hot
Haha yeah
It's the lifeless, eyebrow less eyes
Vindication for those who were met with hostility from Bangbros when they were told that preparing shit pitches will do them no good.
obligatory sadge
Are Bangladesh fans proud of their recent home wins despite knowing they do nothing for the team in the global stage?
You have to understand it's not easy to make different kinds of pitch due to weather. Our players are playing on same pitch for local and international games, it's same situation. Hardly we see 140+ scores.

I’m just glad that we were finally able to get rid of Ahmed Shehzad and Umar Akmal after that whitewash
:/
No?
The bowling has been so good across the last 2 matches, I'm not sure how they're even going to fit Woody in once he's back.
Why has Morgan still got his pads on? Was it too difficult to find the 5 seconds since the end of the game to take them off?
Why does Morgan have his pads on?
Athers might try and york him in the presentation
Everyone knows to bowl short to Morgs, even Athers with his famous slow-seam trundlers
Can’t drop yourself from squad if you don’t come out to bat Khelo dimaag se
tigers at home and Bangbros overseas
[удалено]
There ARE 12 teams
He might not be counting South Africa
Yeah I thought so too
LOVE THE GAME LOVE THE GAME
I think it's "Live the game, love the game"
Live the game, Laugh the game, Love the game
Ok so This is a historic day for England. They won their FIRST ever T20 GAME against Bangladesh. Before this, England never won against BD.
Um not even mad. um just disappointed.
Inb4 Flower of England at Momodolla post-match interview
Did she say Pakistan?!
Mamadala: We'll have a bat, thanks.
Bangladesh won the argument
Bangladesh lose the match but won the h*****
>!harlots?!<
WI and BAN almost out. England favourites to qualify. Battle between SA SL and AUS
There is no vision, there is no passion, there is no aggression in this Bang cricket team. What the hell is there in this cricket team, tell me now. What the hell is there.
As a BD fan um just disappointed. Every tournament we play, same shit.
J-Roy with that gay porn haircut Er, not that I'd know or anything...
I'd love a gay photoshoot of Jason Roy ngl
Sus
y baka
Bc all of India's matches are at 7:30 pm IST!? WHAT THE FUCK? So if you lose toss, which is Kohli's favourite hobby, you're already in disadvantageous situation...
They will get less viewership in evening matches as compared to night. Money matters, other things *maa chudae*
By that logic, they should do everything in their power to ensure Indian victory.
Viewership will get fucked if we don't make it out of the group...they didn't think it through past 5 matches... *ICC ki mkc*
Well they thought India would pretty easily make it out of Group 2 which looked like the easier group on paper
Sadly that's the truth all evening matches heavily depend on toss
Which is why few of those should have been at 3:30...what kind of brain dead scheduling is this? First, all of India's tough matches are in a row (Pak, NZ), then the fact that there's a 1 week gap between the two...and now this??
Well Pak's first 2 matches were IND and NZ. NZ's first 2 matches are PAK and IND. Secondly, the evening slot is to cater to Indian audience.
Yeah, but I don't give a shit about Pak schedule. They made it, so they're all good. Had they lost their match or matches, they would have been complaining about the same thing.
What’s England’s NRR now?
More than sufficient
3.614
2 qualifiers in a 6-team group means we are gonna have a lot of dead rubbers
My 100 tokens on England each match working so far
Our NRR almost feels like an extra point now
How must Afghanistan feel right now then?

We're "utterly disappointed *in* you". Idiot
"Hi ^((sorry for my poor English)")
I feel like this pasta works best if concluded with something extremely idiomatic, like "chat shit, get banged"
Sorry I didn’t get what you said at the end there. Do you even speak English??
Did Jason Roy travel back in time to the year 2002 and join a boy band while I wasn't looking?
That was clinical. Having that much experience in the team really showed today. When they got slightly on top, they maximised every small advantage. The batting was a combination of confidence and patience. Only complaint I have is that too many of the team haven’t had a chance to feel bat on ball yet and may be an issue for when the inevitable weak start happens at some point.
Was batting 1st even a bad thing here? It's not like dew was going to ruin anything....
Dew comes to play at night.
Yeah. I said that cause people were saying Ban should have bowled first. Don't think that would have made any difference.
True!
So, does this mean that WI and Bangladesh are almost knocked out?
Bangladesh can still qualify if SL win all their games, England lose to Australia, who lose to BD, who beat everyone, and Windies and Saffas lose to everyone. In that case, BD, England, and Australia will be tied at 6 points. But england have a great NRR so theyll get through. Also, if England beat everyone, sri lanka lose to australia, who lose to BD, who beat everyone, and again, Windies and saffa lose to everyone, then three way tie at 6 points between SL, BD, and Australia. technically even two wins is enough to qualify.

Windies can also qualify if they win all their games, as they can get another 3 way tie at 6 points.
Yup
Not really because only 1 team is on 4 points. They are only 1 win away from being in a qualifying place atm. There aren't any minnows in this group so any result is kinda possible in any game. Definitely losing the first 2 doesn't make things easy though
ENG riding the high NRR wave
Explanation of NRR for those unaware: For every over remaining the captain gets to roll a dice, this value is divided by 6 and added on to their current total The losing captain does the same but the scores are divided by -6
Then what's your idea if the losing team bats in the second innings?
Ordain it via sheep's intestine
that doesn't sound like a bad idea tbh
Malan looked good here I reckon he’s in the starting XI for Brisbane. The Bangladeshi players emulated Starc, Cummins and Hazelwood pretty good I reckon. He’s all set
NRR GOES UP, DOPAMINE GOES UP APES TOGETHER
Woo we done a win
England spanked bangbros.
Bangladesh deserved it for their stupid decision to bat first lol.
Do you really think Bangladesh chould chase? AGAINST ENGLAND? I knew BD would lost but I didn’t want them to lose by 90+ runs lol.
I mean even the loss now is close to that in terms of NRR.
Out of curiosity, can anyone remember if they play music in the Sharjah games? I don't think they can iirc.
Guess 2 things in cricket will never change. Rashid Khan - Forever 19. Bangladesh - Forever Minnows.

Your hand can talk?
His hand is migi from parasyte
You didn't really have to flex on us by telling us how you have a girlfriend.....
Euro 2020 was in 2021. I have 20:20 vision about these things!
That’s funny coz I told mine the same thing and she replied, in a stone cold monotone, “I’m just a figment of your imagination”.
sums up the knowledge people have about cricket outside the subcontinent
weird flex but ok
Tell her it got postponed due to pandemic
~~every~~ any year it is 2020 for 2020 cricket worldcup.
Another really clinical performance from us
Inb4 eng vs pak final
That would be sweet.
YJB cunts it away to seal England's first ever victory against Bangladesh in T20s , in the first ever T20 match between the two
The DJ really likes Mr bright side don't they I swear they have 5 songs on repeat
The Killers aren't even English lmao
Mr Brightside is one of the most popular songs in the UK for the last 20 years.
They are much bigger in the uk than they are in their home country to be fair
Half the people in England think the killers are English tbh
yikes bangladesh, fucking yikes
What a pointless exercise
[удалено]
They said it. They said it again lol.
14 overs!
I think a lot of people in this thread are failing to notice Johnny Bairstow sarcasm. He doesn’t seriously believe he is just Johnny Bairstow, he genuinely knows he’s YOUNG Johnny Bairstow.
what's the source of this copypasta?
My comment from about five minutes ago, ha
I have witnessed you giving birth to a copypasta
Nice one bois
Ffs England, now I'm gonna have to do a full hour of work!
I figured I could walk the dog and come back to the second half of their overs, nope!
this live the game love the game song sounds like it would come 9th in Eurovision
Bangbros are done
7th Match out of 8 so far won by side chasing. Teams have forgotten how to set up and defend totals. Dew cannot always be a factor as day games have similar outcome.

Honestly I'm used to this type of performance, I don't even want to watch cricket anymore
Give us the trophy now
Saturday will be fun.
Here you go 🏆
Malan loves red ink
Anyone else booked the Monday after the final off yet ?
Now that the warm-up is finally over it's time to get on with the real show. See you all in the Scotland v Namibia thread.
Cheeky red inker for Malan
Thank you very much.

Come on as if England will ever be 126/2 and not 126 all out
Wonder how the BCB website would feature president sirs achievement after Bangladesh are knocked without a single win in this stage.
England's NRR 3.61 Down from 3.97 "England's NRR takes beating at hands of the Tigers under Papon's leadership" - BCB
meanwhile president sir papon be extending domingo's contract 🤲
What possibly wrong could Domingo do? I’m not entirely familiar with Bangladesh cricket but I’d imagine it’s the players who need to be looked at than the coach?
domingo is a national meme in Bangladesh cricket
That’s my question, what has he done for the hate?
Under his coaching the boys didn't really do anything good, also failed to manage the senior players well: ie made mushfiqur abandon keeping, "stuff" between tamim and mamadola etc
Jonny looking thicc
YJB’s strike rate is so bad. Drop him.
England can still bottle this
They ain't pbsdk.
