Yep. Only ODI's were keeping him in nick. He's been sliding for a while now.
It's a difficult one. He needs to capture that carefree cricket he played.
Anyway. Onto tomorrow. Ha'way Bangladesh!!!
Bangladesh won the Toss and are going to bat. Hopefully David can bloody Goliath's nose if nothing else.

Do we dare dream?…..
Haway the Banglas!
From what I could tell, not ONE Indian player went up to Hridoy as he made his way from the field and congratulated him on his brave century.
A nice reminder to me of why I cannot stand them.

Haven't followed much of today's game. Other than checking on the scoreboard. Well played to Bangladesh for getting to 200.
Kohli stinking the crease up I see?
At least the Indians haven't had it all their way which it was looking like earlier on.

Think Root and Livingstone having to share 10 overs as the 5th bowler is a weak area, but otherwise as good of a team as they could put out.

Would have had Root at 3 given Smith has only batted there once in his list-A career, but good to see Carse back in

Yeah I agree it’s a concern but still think right selection.

Same as it’s been for a while unbalanced looks short of quality batting.
Only 6 bowling options if a seamer goes down 20 overs of Root & Livingstone every team we face is going to try and slog them out of attack!

Can we stop naming teams the day before, no advantage and let's the opposition prepare better and its a 1 day game not a test match to let players go off and play elsewhere
100 runs incoming of their 10 overs, doesn't account for 1 of the seamers going round the park either

Would have had mahmood in over wood or Carse on form right now
